As the Xbox Game Pass program has grown, so has our list of the best games on Xbox Game Pass. After the launch of the Xbox Series X, Microsoft has doubled down on Game Pass, and now offers well over 350 games on that console alone. To help you through option paralysis, we rounded up the top games on Microsoft’s subscription platform.
Many titles are available on Xbox and PC, and some even have cross-save support. Most of the games are available for streaming on mobile, too, as long as you have Game Pass Ultimate. The Game Pass library is also constantly changing, so check out our monthly guide for addition and removal announcements.

Octopath Traveler II
The first Octopath Traveller came to Xbox on day one, but for whatever reason, we didn’t get the sequel until now. Better late than never, because Octopath Traveller 2 is easily the better game of the two. It takes the same premise as the first. with a group of eight characters whose stories you can follow in whatever order you choose, but does a far better job of weaving them together than the first. The 2D-HD visuals have never looked better, and the combat is a classic turn-based RPG fan’s dream. This is a meaty game, so you might need to extend your subscription to see it all, but it is more than worth it to see the conclusion.
Age of Mythology: Retold
Hollow Knight
Riders Republic
Typically, you have to pick which type of extreme sport you want to play in each game. In Rider’s Republic, you can do nearly all of them at the same time. You’re free to bike, snowboard, ski, and even wingsuit through tons of races and challenges on one massive map. Things won’t ever feel lonely, though, because you can run into other players anywhere to start an impromptu race.
