Discover the best Xbox Game Pass games that you can’t miss, from exciting day-one releases to nostalgic classics.
Xbox Game Pass is an ideal way to explore huge AAA games that you didn’t play in the past or check out smaller games that you may have missed. The subscription has an extensive library of games to play — RPGs, indie hits, and so much more.
It can be overwhelming to decide which games are worth your time. With the cost of entry already taken care of by Xbox Game Pass, a more important question becomes how much hard drive space a game will take up.
Luckily, we’ve put together the best Game Pass games available now.
Which Games Should You Try Out on Xbox Game Pass?
Whether you have an Xbox Series X|S or PC, Xbox Game Pass provides great value for money. Do note that the Game Pass has different versions. You can consider the Xbox Game Pass Core or the PC Game Pass, depending on the device you have. If you have access to both, the Xbox Game Pass Ultimate allows you to access the two libraries at a decent price.
Xbox Game Pass keeps things fresh and interesting for gamers by switching out and adding titles. The games discussed below are all available to play now.
1. Avowed
Avowed comes from the studio that created Grounded, Pentiment, and Fallout: New Vegas. Obsidian has created a fantastic open world. Avowed is very much a fantasy RPG with colorful companions to recruit and great spell-casting combat.
As you explore the Living Lands, you will be fighting enemies with swords, shields, and bows, while customizing your character to fit your preferred playstyle. Similarly, there is plenty of choice and agency during the missions as well. You will be able to help partners or manipulate them to your advantage. There are plenty of great side quests too.
2. Atomfall
For those in search of a new survival adventure, Atomfall is the one. Based on an actual event — the aftermath of the Windscale nuclear disaster — it features an English countryside setting. However, you will no doubt find yourself in dangerous situations as you scavenge, craft, and explore in the zone. Managing ammo, energy, and heart rate can also be difficult.
The game resonates with Fallout fans, but anyone and everyone should try it out on Game Pass. The potential for exploration and the beautifully illustrated world will make it worth your time. You will have to dodge cultists and other threats to wrap up the story.
3. Call of Duty: Black Ops 6
For years, Call of Duty games have floated to the top of best-selling lists, though some are better than others. This year’s release was a tremendous improvement and the first Call of Duty to debut on Game Pass on its initial launch date.
Black Ops 6 is packed with everything you’d expect in the multiplayer suite and zombie modes. However, the campaign is what the franchise does best, and that holds true for Black Ops 6. The game is a thriller, loosely based on the global events of the 1990s.
The new omni-movement in multiplayer makes matches feel lightning fast and smooth. The introduction of new and innovative maps has also impressed fans. Perks have been reworked in some interesting ways as well.
4. Gang Beasts
Any kind of co-op is always a nice addition to the Xbox Game Pass library. If you’re a subscriber or a Game Pass Ultimate member, you can now enjoy Gang Beasts automatically.
Silly wrestling in goofy outfits with your friends never gets boring. The stages on which you will brawl are pretty simple in terms of design, but are based on chaotic concepts. You can find an outdoor elevator, a factory floor, and even an active subway tunnel. Overall, jumping into a game of Gang Beasts provides lots of ridiculous fun, making it a title worth considering.
5. Sea of Thieves
Sea of Thieves is Rare’s unique approach to a pirate simulator. You can play as a lone pirate traversing the seas in a fantasy world or as part of a crew of four people. You can set sail across the high seas, take over other ships, find treasure, and even encounter supernatural pirate spirits.
The game has seen plenty of updates since its initial release in 2018, and it continues to improve. All things considered, the storytelling could be perceived as its weak point. However, the folks at Rare are always pushing out new content to keep the pirating fun and enjoyable.
