From hidden gems to sleeper hits, here are our five best games available on Xbox Game Pass subscription service.
“Gaming is expensive”, that’s what someone may say who isn’t aware of Xbox Game Pass. Xbox Game Pass is a subscription service that allows users to play top AAA games for a low monthly price. The service includes top AAA games from developers like Activision, Bethesda, Ubisoft, EA, and even Rockstar Games. Subscribers also get day-one releases from Xbox Game Studios and many indie developers. The service is also called ‘the best value in gaming’ by many as it’s cheaper than modern AAA games.
Another amazing perk of Xbox Game Pass is that you can play almost any title on any device. Yes, you heard that right. We’re truly in the future as you can stream games like Grand Theft Auto V and Doom: Eternal on a phone.
This can be done with Xbox Cloud Gaming which is included in the Ultimate-tier service. Now that the hardware barrier is out of the way, here are the 5 best games you can play on Xbox Game Pass. And yes, you can play them on any device with a browser.
Doom: The Dark Ages
The slayer has returned, and he’s cooler than ever. This time, you rip and tear demons in a medieval setting as it’s a prequel. The game features the early days of the Doom Slayer on the hunt of a demon lord named Prince Ahzrak. You turn demons into meat sacks with your trusty shotgun and other medieval weapons like a flail. The game is the ultimate power fantasy a player could ask for.
It lets you decimate massive hordes of demons solo most of the time. The game dropped on day one on Xbox Game Pass and is available on PC, consoles, and cloud devices. You can also find previous titles from the franchise, e.g., Doom (2016), Doom: Eternal, and Doom 3 on the service.
Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice
Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice is a tale woven in grief, denial, and trauma. The game features Senua, a Norse warrior who is on a quest to reclaim the soul of her lover, Dillion. Senua must navigate the very depths of the underworld to find Dillion. The gameplay involves fighting rival warriors and forces of the underworld to progress. The game also has brain-twisting puzzles from time to time.
You will also get to fight formidable gods of the underworld while finding Dillion. The title is one of the best narrative games of all time. Its sequel called Senua’ Saga: Hellblade 2 is also available on the service. The sequel is even better than the first game.
Far Cry 5
Far Cry 5 is a first-person shooter and survival game from Ubisoft. This entry in the franchise follows an unnamed police deputy who gets in the crosshairs of a cult. The cult called Project at Eden Gate believes that an apocalypse is about to destroy the world. The cult is guided by its father, Joseph Seed, and his relatives. You’ll need to go to the Seed family by taking down cult outposts and bases throughout Montana.
The gameplay involves stealthily taking down cultists or going all-out guns blazing solo or with a friend. The game is available on PC, consoles, and cloud devices. Other titles in the franchise, e.g., Far Cry 4 and New Dawn are also on Game Pass.
Dead Space (2023)
Dead Space is one of the best survival horror games ever. You play as Isaac Clarke, an engineer investigating a distress call on the USG-Ishimura ship. Isaac is also looking for his wife, Nicole who works as a Medical Officer on the ship. As usual in survival horror circumstances, Isaac boards the ship and gets greeted by creatures known as Necromorphs. You must do your best to survive this nightmare while finding your beloved Nicole.
Dead Space features a unique flesh dissection system to tear Necromorphs limb by limb. The game’s sequels Dead Space 2 and Dead Space 3 are also available on Xbox Game Pass.
Grand Theft Auto V
Grand Theft Auto V is the ultimate sandbox experience developed by Rockstar Games. This time you play as three delinquents – Michael, Franklin, and Trevor. The trio is trying to make it big and succeed like everyone else. The only difference is that they’re doing it by way of crime. You’ll get to boost luxury cars, rob jewelry stores, and take on major heists throughout the open world of Los Santos.
The game also has one of the best narratives featuring themes of existentialism, companionship, and betrayal. GTA V’s open world is a satirical take on the modern-day Los Angeles lifestyle. The title also includes GTA Online which lets you experience the gameplay loop with friends. Grand Theft Auto V is available on Xbox Game Pass for PC, consoles, and cloud devices.
