Best Games on Xbox Game Pass -

There’s no way to argue how good of a value Xbox Game Pass is.

You get day one releases for all of Xbox’s first party games, plus countless other titles, ranging from indie classics to blockbuster hits. Paying a monthly sub gives you access to more than four hundred games.

If you want to dive into some of the best games on Xbox Game Pass, I can point you in the right direction.

Celeste

One of the best platformers on Xbox Game Pass also has a deep, emotional story that will challenge you to perform your very best.

Celeste is a masterclass in four categories. The controls are precise and feel like a learning opportunity when you fail. The art style and soundtrack are two more areas that feel at the top of the mountain; both make it a special experience. The last masterful area is the emotional story.

While you climb a mountain with some of the tightest platforming controls, you also climb one metaphorically within a story about mental health, self-doubt, and perseverance.

Control Ultimate Edition

You get Control, plus all the DLC, with your Xbox Game Pass subscription, and that should have you levitating with joy.

Control not only has an interesting setting and world, but it expands the Alan Wake universe as well. As you solve the mystery of your brother’s disappearance, you basically become a Jedi with a shape-shifting gun.

You will feel controlled because you won’t be able to sit the controller down. You will always find something interesting or strange that will make you want to keep playing.

DOOM Eternal

The ebb and flow of a DOOM game has never felt so good. DOOM Eternal borrows from DOOM 2016 and older entries in the series to create one of the best FPS titles of all time.

Breakneck speed and choosing the right weapons to slay enemies is the name of the game. Rip and tear your enemies as you platform through beautiful levels and set pieces; this is the best a DOOM game has ever looked.

The amazing soundtrack and smooth gameplay make you feel like you just might be the DOOM Guy. Get ready to rip and tear.

Persona 3 Reload

Persona 3 is considered a JRPG classic, but Reload brings many improvements and wraps it in modern ATLUS visuals.

This remake strikes a delicate balance of staying true to the original while modernizing it to meet the standard of newer games. It brings the beautiful menus and visuals like Persona 5, plus the updated combat feels fresh and smooth. The updated version of the demon fusion removes some frustration from the original’s demon fusion mechanic.

Persona 3 Reload is not just a remake; it’s a reimagining that elevates the original into a must-play experience for fans and newcomers alike.

Mass Effect 2

Mass Effect 2 is handcrafted excellence. Deep story scenarios and deep connections to your crew will make you care more than you ever should about video game characters.

From the beginning, Mass Effect 2 grabs hold of the player and never lets go. It’s a massive improvement over the first game in every way possible. Players get more dynamic powers and combat that feel more responsive. Side missions and loyalty missions are some o the best quest in the game.

The sense of urgency to save the galaxy has never felt higher. Mass Effect 2 will make you more emotional than any other media you have experienced. It is easily one of the best RPGs ever made.

Resident Evil 2

Gamers are starting to complain about all remakes, but why not play one of the best while scrolling through Xbox Game Pass?

The RE Engine increases the terror of Leon’s first day at work by making everything look so detailed. The third-person shooting helps bring Resident Evil 2 into the modern era. The replayability is extremely high, with two separate campaigns with A and B routes changing the stories.

Step into the world of survival horror with Resident Evil 2, and you might become a fan.

Yakuza: Like a Dragon

Two drastic changes in a series could kill it, but instead, Yakuza thrived with one of its most successful titles.

Knowledge of the previous games will make one appreciate some parts of the game more, but you won’t feel like you missed out. Yakuza: Like a Dragon introduced a new protagonist and switched to turn-based combat. It is a good jumping on point for newcomers.

Somehow, all the changes worked, giving us one of the best modern JRPGs with one of the most lovable, charismatic main characters.

Fallout

Why not journey to the start of a beloved series? Take a step back in time and enter the wasteland once more.

One of the originators of player choice, player freedom, and non-linear storytelling. It established many RPG conventions that would be emulated by subsequent games. Fallout is an isometric RPG great should be visited at least once.

You already have a subscription to Game Pass. Why not sit down and play a classic? The only thing it costs is some of your time.

Dishonored 2

Dishonored 2 is more than just a sequel. It’s an expansion of the original game that now features two campaigns and two characters. One of the best stealth action games ever made is available on Xbox Game Pass.

Two separate stories equate to two characters with their own unique powers. The “Chaos System” ensures that your actions have consequences and can change the outcome of your story. The world feels richly detailed and alive.

With all the player freedom, moral complexity in story choices, and highly polished gameplay, few games match the height of Dishonored 2.
