Following the company's recent news of Game Pass subscription changes, featuring a cost hike for the Ultimate Tier to $thirty monthly, numerous subscribers are seeking new methods to maximize their membership. If you holding onto their membership or thinking about joining, we present our latest picks.

Our selected titles feature a beloved JRPG, a charming independent journey, and a brilliant puzzler scheduled to depart from the service soon.

Persona 4: The Golden Edition

Among the best ways to get your money's worth from Game Pass is by diving into a lengthy, captivating RPG — and Persona 4: The Golden Edition fits that bill exactly. You take on the part of a teenager who has just moved to the quiet rural town of Inaba. By day, your goals involve making friendships, working employment, and managing schoolwork. By night, you investigate a disturbing serial murder case by exploring unique dungeons based on your friends' deepest insecurities.

With a memorable cast of characters, strategic turn-based combat, impeccable visuals, and a storyline packed with twists, Persona 4: The Golden Edition is regarded as a masterpiece for many reasons. It also features a highly addictive cycle that will keep you up past bedtime, repeatedly.

Sopa - Tale of the Stolen Potato

Although big releases like Ninja Gaiden 4 are a primary selling point for the service, the platform also showcases smaller games. A perfect example of this is Sopa: Tale of the Stolen Potato. Inspired by Spirited Away, this enchanting indie game is a fantasy tale steeped in Latin American traditions. You follow Miho, who, after helping his grandma make soup, is transported to a colorful realm populated by potato-nabbing frogs and various quirky animals.

Sopa: Tale of the Stolen Potato plays out like an learning-focused PC game from the 90s, as Miho tackles challenges and helps the realm's residents by collecting an assortment of objects. Even if it's a little unpolished, Sopa: Tale of the Stolen Potato is a sweet small game that openly showcases its love for the region's culture.

Cocoon: A Puzzle Adventure

Cocoon: A Puzzle Adventure is set to leave Game Pass on Oct. 15, giving you only a few days to experience it via your membership — and you absolutely must. Developer the creators designed one of the finest puzzlers of recent years in 2023's Cocoon: A Puzzle Adventure. Its core puzzle mechanic revolves around moving between realms within additional worlds, and frequently you'll carry those worlds, in the form of vibrant orbs, with you.

Although it lacks direct guidance, everything about Cocoon's puzzles is designed in a highly natural way, though they will challenge you as well. 2023 was a big period for video games, so it's no surprise if Cocoon: A Puzzle Adventure was a bit missed by the masses. Let's correct that now.
