Xbox Game Pass: The Best Titles You Must Try Right Now

Microsoft is set to launch the Xbox Series S and Series S in the next few days, and Xbox Game Pass will be an integral part. Users will have various games to buy at launch but Game Pass already offers more than 100 titles.

If you have already registered to be a member of Game Pass, you must know it’s like a Netflix service but for gaming. This is the next-gen philosophy that Microsoft has for gaming that can expand throughout the life cycle of the Xbox Series X.

If you have just got the service, these are the best 15 games that you must try immediately.

Doom Eternal

This is one of the new games in the Xbox Game Pass that was added to the service on October 1. Doom Eternal is a sequel to Doom, released in 2016, a reboot of the shooter franchise. The game involves a lot of demons and killing. It was well-received when released in March with 8/10 on GameSpot.

Gears 5 Ultimate

This is one of the best titles on the Xbox Game Pass. Introduced in 2019, the blockbuster game is among the biggest-party titles on Xbox One. It’s available on both the PC and Xbox One.

Age of Empires II Definitive Edition

Age of Empires is an iconic PC game and its Definitive Edition came out in November last year, which upscaled the title to 4K with new campaigns. You can now play the game on either your PC or the Xbox One via Game Pass.

Rainbow Six Siege Deluxe Edition

Though the game was launched back in 2015, it’s well worth a try. The title was developed to be an Esports game with several updates and evolutions over time. As a squad-based shooting game, the title still has a vibrant online community until now.

Ori and the Will of the Wisps

This is a beautiful game developed by Moon Studios as a sequel to the Ori and the Blind Forest franchise released in 2015. The title is like a mix between Rayman, Castlevania, and Metroid to form a heartfelt platformer and an adventure game. When it was launched in 2017, the game got a lot of compliments from critics and the gaming community.

Forza Horizon 4

This is probably the best exclusive non-first person shooting game from Microsoft. Its scenario is based on Great Britain and got a lot of praise when it came out in 2018.

Dead Cells

Dead Cells is a colorful, beautiful Metroidvania-style action title launched in 2018, which was well-received. If you have never played this game, you must give it a try, it’s available on PC and the Xbox through Game Pass Ultimate.

The Outer Worlds

This is an imaginative, RPG title from Obsidian, who also developed Fallout New Vegas. It brings you to an alternative world with different events from the one we’re living in. Instead, big companies colonized the galaxy. The game is also available on the Xbox and PC.

Untitled Goose Game

A great benefit of Game Pass is that you can try out various titles that are intriguing to you but not enough to make you spend money. In this game, you will be a Goose and try to cause the most havoc possible.

Destiny 2

This shooting game is a very popular title coming from Bungie, who also developed the original Halo. But it’s not a new title as it was added to the Xbox One back in 2017. Bungie says that there will be a franchise-changing expansion of this game called Beyond Light, to be launched in November.

Oxenfree

This is a supernatural thriller title launched in 2016 for the Xbox One, PC, and Mac. The game has also come to Android and iOS devices as well as other platforms. You may beat the game in five hours or less, but this is a must-try title.

Halo: The Master Chief Collection

This game is a remastered package consisting of Halo 1, Halo 2, Halo 3, Rach, ODST, and Halo 4. Though it received criticism for poor online multiplayer as well as technical glitches, those flaws have since been fixed.

Wasteland 3

This RPG title is a combination of tension and charm. The post-apocalyptic game sets the scenario in the 22nd century, featuring psycho clowns.

What Remains of Edith Finch

A game like this is perfect for Game Pass and similar services. If you sit and play continuously, you can finish the game in two hours or so. All in all, this title brings about a haunting exploration of the Finch family history.

Kingdom Hearts 1.5 + 2.5

This title is more suitable for those who never had the PlayStation 2, featuring almost all titles in the franchise: Chain of Memories, Kingdom Hearts, Kingdom Hearts 2, Birth By Sleep, along with the mobile title Coded. You can also find Kingdom Hearts 3 on Game Pass.
