Xbox’s release calendar is packed this week, headlined by two of the platform’s most anticipated launches: Remedy’s **Control Resonant** and Funcom’s open-world survival hit **Dune: Awakening** arriving on Game Pass. Here’s a look at the standout titles landing on Xbox Series X|S and PC between September 21 and 25, 2026.

## The Big Two: Control Resonant and Dune: Awakening

**Control Resonant**, the sequel to Remedy Entertainment’s award-winning Control, launches September 24. It follows Dylan Faden as he emerges from years of confinement into a warped, paranatural Manhattan overrun by the corrupting Hiss and other twisted threats, harnessing new powers to fight back.

**Dune: Awakening** from Funcom, already a hit on other platforms, arrives on Xbox and Game Pass September 22. The open-world survival RPG lets players explore Arrakis solo or alongside hundreds of others on public servers, building, crafting and unravelling a cinematic Dune story from the ground up.
