Best Games On Xbox Game Pass [You Should Try]
The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim
The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, or known as just “Skyrim”, is a classic that everyone should try out at once. It’s notorious for being ported to almost every device imaginable, and now it’s on the Xbox Game Pass! Try out Skyrim to go on adventures in the huge living land of Skyrim.
Skyrim boasts the fact that it can cater to almost any playstyle out there, from dual-handing warrior to a formidable summoner to a stealthy archer-rouge.
Players can play the game in any way they want. This is further held true by the fact that mods are also available for the game in the game pass.
Mass Effect: Legendary Edition
The Mass Effect Trilogy was a series of generation-defining games. They were a perfect mix of gameplay, story and action.
Players are placed into the shoes of Commander Shepard who has to endure countless battles to save the galaxy over the span of three games.
The Legendary Edition bundles up all three games into one neat package while also graphically reworking the games to keep up with today’s graphics.
It also comes with all of the DLCs available for the games making it a very convenient package.
Minecraft
Just like Skyrim, Minecraft is another one of those games where players are free to do whatever they want. A lot of agency is given to the player, especially with the inclusion of mods for Minecraft in the game pass.

Minecraft’s open world sandbox gameplay and simple building mechanics makes it accessible for any player who wants to give it a try.
It can be played alone if you want some quality quiet time or socially with many of your friends.
Valheim
Valheim is a small indie survival game that rose into popularity a while back, even before it got into the game pass.
