Xbox Game Pass: 10 awesome Xbox One games to play right now – CNET [CNET]
If you’re already a member of Xbox Game Pass, Microsoft’s attempt to create a Netflix for games, you know how crazy a deal it is. The service has over 100 games, with more being added each month. And it’s not just quantity. There are dozens of excellent titles, both AAA and indie, for you to delve into for $9.99 a month (or $14.99 if you get Game Pass Ultimate, which lets you select games play on PC too).
If you’re new to the service, or on the fence about joining, here are ten games to play right away.
Doom Eternal

Doom Eternal is one of Xbox Game Pass’ new games, hitting the service on Oct. 1. It’s a sequel to 2016’s Doom, a reboot of the classic shooter franchise. It involves platform, and killing lots and lots (and lots) of demons. The game was well received upon its March release, getting an 8/10 from our sister site GameSpot.
Gears 5 Ultimate

Forza Horizon 4
If you’re tired of big budget first-person-shooters, give Dead Space a go. It’s a beautiful, colorful Metroidvania style action platformer that was released in 2018 to critical acclaim. It continues to be a cult favorite and is absolutely worth a download if you haven’t yet played it (and even if you have). It’s playable on both Xbox and PC via Game Pass Ultimate.
The Outer Worlds
Destiny 2 is a hugely popular loot shooter developed by Bungie, the gang that brought you the original Halo. It’s not new though, having hit the Xbox One in 2017. Now is a perfect time to jump in — or back in — to Destiny 2 though, with a franchise-changing (according to Bungie) expansion, Beyond Light, launching in November.
Oxenfree
Oxenfree is a supernatural thriller originally released for PC, Mac and Xbox One in 2016 and since ported to iOS and Android, among other platforms. It’ll take you less than five hours to beat, but it’s a memorable tale worth experiencing.
Halo: The Master Chief Collection
Master Chief Collection is a remastered package that includes Halo 1, 2 and 3, ODST, Rach and Halo 4. Yep, that’s a lot of Halo. The game was criticized upon release for poor online multiplayer and technical glitches, but patches have since fixed those problems. This is a great way to prepare yourself for Halo: Infinite next year.
Wasteland 3
Wasteland 3 is an isometric RPG. That description really doesn’t do it justice in any sense though, as this postapocalyptic game is filled with an admirable mix of both tension, quirk and charm. It’s set in 22nd century Colorado, and includes both psycho clowns and a cult dedicated to Ronald Reagan. What more do you need?
