With leaks suggesting that August will bring some exciting additions to Xbox Game Pass, now is the perfect time to enjoy the great titles that were added in July before the new wave arrives. If you’re looking for games to play this weekend, here are three recommendations that are guaranteed to provide a fantastic gaming experience.
Valorant
Valorant is now available on Xbox Series X/S with full controller support and cross-play with PlayStation 5. While it’s free to play, Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscribers receive additional benefits within the game, such as unlocking all Agents and a 20% match XP boost. If you enjoy competitive games, the Xbox port of Riot Games’ 5v5 hero shooter is a must-play with Xbox Game Pass. You can also access Valorant on PC and PS5.
Journey to the Savage Planet: Employee of the Month Edition
Journey to the Savage Planet, which arrived on Xbox Game Pass in early July, is a satirical first-person game set on a strange alien planet where players work for a megacorporation that shows little regard for them. The game offers a mix of exploration, narrative delivery, and combat, reminiscent of Metroid Prime. The Employee of the Month Edition is available on Xbox Game Pass for PC, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S, as well as on Nintendo Switch, PS4, and PS5.
The Case of the Golden Idol
For fans of indie games, The Case of the Golden Idol is a hidden gem on Xbox Game Pass that offers a unique gameplay experience. Players must solve murders by carefully examining the environment for crucial clues. This point-and-click adventure game will test your deductive skills as you piece together each case. You can play The Case of the Golden Idol on PC, Xbox consoles, and the cloud, as well as on Mac, Nintendo Switch, PS4, PS5, iOS, and Android.
