Best games for Xbox Game Pass on console & PC

Batman: Arkham Knight

18 best Xbox Game Pass games in February 2025

Rocksteady/Warner Bros

  • Playable on: Xbox One / Xbox Series S|X
  • Release date: 6/22/2015
  • Genre: Action & adventure
  • Game Pass Tier: Standard / Ultimate

The Batman Arkham franchise may have been mostly dormant since 2015’s Arkham Knight, but the game remains an excellent action-adventure title. Gotham City has never looked (or felt) more frightening, and while the Batmobile was a contentious addition back at launch, we still enjoy crashing through walls like they’re made of paper.

Sure, the plot twist can be seen a mile off, but Arkham Knight was a fitting end for the franchise – at least until we get to play as the Suicide Squad.

Battletech

Harebrained Schemes/Paradox Interactive

  • Playable on: PC
  • Release date: 6/10/2020
  • Genre: Action & adventure
  • Game Pass Tier: PC / Ultimate

The Battletech/MechWarrior franchise has been around for years, but Harebrained Schemes took the series’ staple of rampaging robots filled with enough ammo to wipe entire continents off of the map and put it into a template closer to the XCOM series.

Turn-based strategy ensues as your band of mercenaries fights its way across the solar system, picking up missions to keep the engines in your upgradable mechs running.

Crusader Kings III

18 best Xbox Game Pass games in February 2025

Paradox Interactive

  • Playable on: Xbox Series S|X / PC
  • Release date: 9/1/2020
  • Genre: RPG
  • Game Pass Tier: PC / Standard / Ultimate

If you ever watched Game of Thrones and enjoyed the political (and sometimes literal) backstabbing, then Crusader Kings III is worth a look. Neighboring leader look at you funny? You could woo their spouse and have your bastard rule when they’re gone. Or you could simply have them killed.

Players have even reported multiple spouses being killed off by a character that ended up being revealed as their evil twin – it really is a great generator for unique stories.

Deathloop

18 best Xbox Game Pass games in February 2025

Arkane Lyon

  • Playable on: Xbox Series S|X / PC
  • Release date: 9/20/2022
  • Genre: Action & adventure
  • Game Pass Tier: PC / Standard / Ultimate

Deathloop may have been a PS5 exclusive when we reviewed it at launch, but it’s finally made the jump to Xbox and lost none of its style, swagger, or ferocity in the transition.

Article continues after ad

This time loop mystery is full of supernatural powers and cool weaponry, while also taking place in a world with a distinct seventies flavor. We awarded it a score of 9/10, and said “Deathloop expertly blends genres for a truly unique experience that delivers on its brilliant premise.”

Doom Eternal

18 best Xbox Game Pass games in February 2025

iD Software/Bethesda

  • Playable on: Xbox One / Xbox Series S|X / PC
  • Release date: 12/1/2020
  • Genre: Shooter
  • Game Pass Tier: PC / Core / Standard / Ultimate

If Doom’s 2016 revival was dragging the granddaddy of FPS games into the modern era, Doom Eternal is that same, chainsaw-wielding ball of fury all grown up. iD Software’s sequel is bigger, brasher, and gorier than its predecessor. Its environments are more ambitious, its platforming is actually pretty fun, and it brings back the unique “push and pull” of combat that made the reboot so loved by newcomers and longtime fans alike.

It also looks positively stunning on Xbox Series S|X, meaning it’s worth another playthrough even if you’ve already finished it.

The Forza Horizon series has never had a bad entry, so imagine our surprise when Forza Horizon 5 scored an incredible 10/10 in our review. Mexico’s landscape, even more impressive visuals, and a huge car list make Forza Horizon 5 not just the best racing game this year, but one of the best racing games of all time.

  • Release date: 12/14/2020
  • Genre: Shooter
  • Game Pass Tier: PC / Core / Standard / Ultimate

Gears 5 remains a showcase for the Xbox Series S|X consoles, and for good reason – The Coalition’s third-person shooter has never looked, or played, better. Players take control of Kait Diaz in the game’s campaign, with stunning set pieces and even a more open-world-inspired section.

Double Fine/Xbox

  • Playable on: Xbox One / Xbox Series S|X / PC
  • Release date: 8/24/2021
  • Genre: Action & adventure
  • Game Pass Tier: PC / Core / Standard / Ultimate

The original Psychonauts may have launched in 2005, but its 2021 sequel doesn’t skip a beat. In fact, it picks up right where its predecessor left off, reintroducing Razputin “Raz” Aquato. Players will jump into the fractured psyche of multiple characters, with each world offering a unique playground Raz can experiment with using his Psi-Powers.

If you’re a fan of platformers or developer Double Fine’s unique mix of the whacky and heartfelt, Psychonauts 2 is a must-play.

Ubisoft

  • Playable on: Xbox One / Xbox Series S|X / PC
  • Release date: 3/12/2024
  • Genre: Shooter
  • Game Pass Tier: PC / Standard / Ultimate

Rainbow Six Siege launched to middling reviews in 2015, but now into its sixth year of content, the game has gone from strength to strength. Offering tense, tactical combat in maps where walls, floors, and ceilings can all be shredded to pieces, nowhere is safe.

Rainbow Six fans on Xbox get the Deluxe Edition – meaning you’ll unlock a handful of Operators to build out your roster.

Xbox

Sea of Thieves may have had a rocky launch, but Rare has continued to build on its systems since it launched. Adding more things to do and items to earn, Sea of Thieves is best experienced with friends, fighting off enemy ships and Krakens while singing shanties, drinking ale, and scooping water out of your ship’s hull.

Add to that a new series of Tall Tales featuring Pirates of the Caribbean’s Jack Sparrow, and Sea of Thieves is well worthy of being on our best Xbox Game Pass games list.

  • Release date: 10/27/2016
  • Genre: Shooter
  • Game Pass Tier: PC / Ultimate / EA Play

Apex Legends has been a huge success for Respawn, but we’d be lying if we said we aren’t holding out hope for a third Titanfall game. While the first game offered an incredible multiplayer mode, Titanfall 2’s single-player campaign is an all-time classic, constantly shifting expectations while maintaining rock-solid gunplay and traversal.

Then there’s the multiplayer, which is no slouch – and helped form the basis of Apex Legends’ superlative battle royale combat.
