🔗 Share this article 3 Xbox Game Pass Games We Are Enjoying Over the Weekend (October 10-12) After Microsoft's latest news of Game Pass subscription updates, featuring a cost hike for the top tier to $thirty per month, many subscribers are looking for fresh methods to get the most from their subscription. If you keeping their subscription or thinking about signing up, here are our latest picks. Our selected titles include a beloved Japanese role-playing game, a charming indie journey, and a superb puzzler scheduled to depart from the platform shortly. Persona 4 Golden One of the best methods to get your money's worth from Game Pass is by diving into a extensive, engaging RPG — and Persona 4: The Golden Edition matches that bill exactly. Players take on the part of a teenager who has relocated to the sleepy rural town of Inaba. By day, your objectives involve making new friends, taking on employment, and keeping up with schoolwork. By night, you work to solve a chilling string of murders by venturing into unique dungeons themed around your friends' inner fears. With a unforgettable cast of characters, tactical battle system, impeccable visuals, and a plot full of twists, Persona 4 Golden is considered a classic for good reason. It also features a incredibly engrossing cycle that will have you playing late into the night, repeatedly. Sopa: Tale of the Stolen Potato Although big releases like Ninja Gaiden IV are a primary attraction for Game Pass, the platform also highlights smaller games. A perfect example of this is Sopa - Tale of the Stolen Potato. Drawing from Spirited Away, this charming indie adventure is a magical realist tale rooted in Latin American traditions. You follow Miho, who, after helping his grandma prepare soup, is transported to a vibrant realm populated by potato-nabbing frogs and other eccentric animals. Sopa plays out like an learning-focused computer title from the 1990s, as Miho tackles challenges and aids the realm's inhabitants by gathering an inventory of items. Even if it's a little unpolished, Sopa is a sweet little experience that openly celebrates its love for the region's culture. Cocoon Cocoon: A Puzzle Adventure is scheduled to exit Game Pass on October 15, giving you only a few days to play it via your membership — and you absolutely must. Studio Geometric Interactive crafted one of the best puzzlers of this generation in the 2023 release Cocoon. Its core puzzle mechanic focuses on moving between worlds within additional worlds, and frequently you'll carry those worlds, in the form of colorful orbs, alongside you. While it lacks explicit instructions, everything about Cocoon: A Puzzle Adventure's puzzles is built in a very intuitive way, though they can test you as well. 2023 was a big year for games, so it's no surprise if Cocoon was a bit overlooked by many players. Let's correct that while we can.
