    Missed opportunity to say "… And you’ve never playedthe Dishonored series, you’re doing yourself a huge dishonor."

    CrossCode is so underrated one of the first games I played with gamepass and now I’m a lifetime game pass subscriber lol



  8. Jazi The Wolf on May 10, 2021 at 2:49 am

    You shouldve said which games are on like cloud console or pc because one game may be on console and not on cloud or pc and vice versa



  9. A K on May 10, 2021 at 2:50 am

    Injustice 2

    I’ve discovered Yakuza on Game Pass and it’s the best I’ve played in recent years! Amazing that we can discover so much games for ‘free’ on this amazing service. I needed to spend over €100 for all the Yakuza games on PS4 but now they are all on Game Pass so give it a try.

    Xbox is here to stay!

    Discovering HOLLOW KNIGHT on game pass was the best thing that happened to me during the new years. I poured 70+ hrs on that game getting around 102%. I just couldnt get enough of it. Amazing story, visuals, music, bosses and so on. It is a great metroidvania and if for some reason you havent played it (like me a while ago), me and LITERALLY THOUSANDS of other HK fans will recommend it, especially if you want to dabble in that genre.



  12. Zoo on May 10, 2021 at 2:51 am

    If you want hundreds of hours of gameplay try Monster Hunter it’s amazing

    Titanfall 2 is the best



  16. Lord Beerus on May 10, 2021 at 2:55 am

    Ori 1 and 2 is a must play for people who are thinking about getting gamepass.



  17. Naji on May 10, 2021 at 2:55 am

    I’m Naruto fan



  18. Orlando Colom on May 10, 2021 at 2:55 am

    I’m kind of new on Xbox (since christmas 2016) and now I switched from being PS only to be more of an Xbox fanboy, I’m really into GamePass for all the Gears of War games, Forza Horizon 4, Max: Curse of the Brotherhood, Dirt 5, among others. Now PS is my side console for it’s exclusives like Ratchet and Clank, Spider-Man, Horizon and God of War…



  19. Liran M on May 10, 2021 at 2:56 am

    Outriders



  29. Swag Lord on May 10, 2021 at 3:15 am

    To the people who see this play sea of thieves now it’s one of the best games I’ve ever played it’s a little harsh on newer players but in the long run you’ll love it



  30. Tommy Convey on May 10, 2021 at 3:17 am

    Do you permanently keep the games you downloaded after the game pass expires?



  31. Angela Yanni on May 10, 2021 at 3:18 am

  32. Wawer Tube on May 10, 2021 at 3:18 am

  36. HentzGG on May 10, 2021 at 3:22 am

    Sea of Thieves = Best game on Game Pass! Change my mind!!!!



  37. CMLAFLAMME on May 10, 2021 at 3:24 am

    I went from playing Nintendo as a kid to recently getting an Xbox one so I took a huge break, but whats with people being so impressed with games that go back to Nintendo type graphics. Is it just cool to be retro or something? With the ability they have now to make amazing looking games I’m seeing a few in this review where I’m like.. I don’t get the appeal.



  38. Gamedaughter1 on May 10, 2021 at 3:26 am

    I discovered Dragon Quest XI Echoes of an Elusive Age Definitive Edition on Game Pass Ultimate on PC ( I don’t own an Xbox yet just the controller lol). It is my first Dragon Quest game and I am enjoying the story very much.



  39. Finn McCann on May 10, 2021 at 3:26 am

    Subnatica as well



  40. Paper Film World on May 10, 2021 at 3:27 am

    You don’t need ultiment to get ea games on xbox gamepass on pc



  41. SlayerSlender on May 10, 2021 at 3:29 am

  42. Antonio CGonzález on May 10, 2021 at 3:29 am

    If you havent played them, TRY:
    Monster Hunter World
    Batman Arkham



  43. Winterfang on May 10, 2021 at 3:32 am

    I downloaded Dragon Quest and end up putting 300 hours.



  44. RDX Son of a fett on May 10, 2021 at 3:32 am

    The medium is beautiful



  45. Mystic Overlord on May 10, 2021 at 3:32 am

    You forgot Arkham knight



  46. Jet Stream on May 10, 2021 at 3:33 am

    i wish Red Redemption was on here, who agrees



  47. Shaik M on May 10, 2021 at 3:35 am

    Nier automata was fuckin amazing bro I loved it. Favorite game ever



  48. Gavin Force on May 10, 2021 at 3:37 am

    I recommend Grounded. It is a fun game that you can play with up to 4 people with online (no couch co-op sadly) where it’s basically Honey I Shrunk the Kids: The Game where you are shrunken down to the size of an ant and you have to survive in someone’s backyard. It is still in preview, but it is very fun 🙂



  49. Endless Galaxyz on May 10, 2021 at 3:37 am

    Among us is not on Xbox or game pass .- .
