It's not quite September yet, but Xbox Live Gold subscribers can already download the new Games with Gold for September 2018. The games are Prison Architect for Xbox One and Lego Star Wars III: The Clone Wars for Xbox 360 (also playable on Xbox One). The former is free through the end of September, while the latter is free through September 15.
As you can probably tell from the title, Prison Architect puts you in charge of a prison. You get to design the layout of the building and manage how the occupants are treated. You can aim to make your prison a pleasant place designed to rehabilitate the criminals within, or you can give into your darker urges and inspire things like arson, murders, and riots.
Also available for free between now and September 15 is Ubisoft's medieval brawler For Honor. This fall it's getting a free major update with a new faction and a castle siege mode, so be sure to pick it up if you haven't yet.
After Lego Star Wars III: The Clone Wars goes back to full price, you'll be able to get the 360 game Sega Vintage Collection: Monster World September 16-30. The other mid-month addition is the Xbox One game Livelock, which will be available September 16 - October 15.
And if you hurry, you can pick up August's remaining freebies before they go back to full price September 1. Forza Horizon 2 is still available for free (it will be delisted from the Xbox Store on September 30), as is Disney Epic Mickey 2: The Power of Two.
