Xbox Game Pass is a subscription service featuring a vast library of games for a monthly fee. With a ton of titles available, it’s easy to see why many gamers are excited about it. You’ve heard the news, you’ve seen the reception and numbers, and now it’s available (sort of) in Malaysia.. If you’re considering whether it’s worth it, or if you might regret the decision, we’re here to help you navigate through it.

So, is Game Pass worth the hype? Absolutely! But what should you play once you subscribe for RM15/US$15 a month?

Fret not. We are here to not only recommend you the best games to play, but also which subscriptions are best for you which, let’s be honest; sometimes sounds too good to be true. You’ve probably heard of it on social media or from your friends but never had the chance to delve deeper into it.

So today, allow us to run you through a quick crash course of the Xbox Game Pass: it’s a subscription-based service available on the Xbox and PC. Think Game Pass as Microsoft’s response to the PS Plus. Just like Sony’s offering, as long as your subscription is active, you are able to access – download and play a slew of titles in their library ranging from more recent to older ones. Just several times bigger thanks to its robust library.

Today we are listing a good mix of modern, select-picks and certified classics just waiting for you the second you activate your subscription.

Halo Infinite

Halo Infinite’s multiplayer mode is an excellent entry point for anyone interested in the shooter genre. If players have any love for PvP FPS games, they’ll find plenty to enjoy here. The single-player campaign is also solid. Best of all, it’s available for free on Xbox and PC Game Pass!

Forza Horizon 5

Forza Horizon 5 stands out as the best racing game of 2021 and arguably 2022, free from microtransactions that plague many racing titles. Just race all the courses in this game’s version of Mexico, get cars and Forza credits, and also tear the asphalt and grass while you’re driving on -and through- the countryside. Fun stuff, even for non-racing fans who just want the feeling of driving a fast car or off-road vehicle and faff about.

The Best Xbox Series X & S Games You Can Play Right Now

By Timothy Teoh October 01, 2024

After years of waiting, The next-gen Xbox is now available! Microsoft’s latest Xbox is now available for ordering. If you managed to secure one, congratulations! Now you need some games for the big black monolith.

We’ll say this: 4K gaming on 120fps has never looked this good, or even this affordable, especially when you have to shell out RM5,000 onward for a PC that lets you play with that kind of visual fidelity. Still, what good is a gaming console without an extensive games library?

Luckily, all your Xbox-slash-PC games will work on the Xbox Series X. Protip: if it works on the Xbox One, it’ll work on Xbox Series X and S. If a game used to be on an Xbox 360, it may be playable on the Xbox Series X. Check the Xbox Game Pass for a list of backwards compatible titles.

With that said, here are the must-own games you need for the Xbox Series X and S.

Gears Tactics

As fun as XCOM and XCOM 2 are, its turn-based combat mechanics could use a bit more flexibility and touch-up. Enter Gears Tactics, a turn-based strategy game that focuses on combat and dealing with hordes of Locusts. Mechanics like overwatch get a great and practical makeover, while Gears staples like executions give you a tactical bonus if you play them right.

Gears Tactics is a fun and cerebral-challenging addition to the turn-based strategy line of games that go beyond what is expected. While itâ€™s not wholly original, it presents a lot of time-tested mechanics in a streamlined and intuitive way while also not being afraid of challenging its audience.

Assassin’s Creed Valhalla

Ubisoft hits gold again with their latest Assassin’s Creed entry, set in 873AD during the Viking invasion of Britain. You play Eivor and your job is to unite with the viking and Dane tribes in the country while fighting off the British and other enemies of your motherland. While you can raid monasteries of their loot to expand your settlement, you can

Two major caveats: this game doesn’t respect your time. And it’s still kinda buggy, like Ubisoft buggy. But the corrupt save file issues rarely happen on the Xbox Series X of the game compared to the PC and PS4 versions, so that’s a bonus.

While the company needs to sort out their Ubisoft Connect, at least AC Valhalla mostly works and serves to be this year’s next-gen sandbox game that will keep you plenty busy in a viking-filled setting.
