First on this list of the best and most in-demand games on Xbox Game Pass right now is something that avid players would be very familiar with – “Halo,” but this time, its “Master Chief Collection.”
“Halo: The Master Chief Collection” is actually a compilation of first-person shooter games that belong to the “Halo” series. Meaning to say, you won’t just get one game from one purchase, but a wide range.
Each game in the collection received graphical upgrades. For instance, “Halo 2” got a high-definition redesign of its audio, video, and cutscenes, also in celebration of its 10th anniversary. Moreover, the game includes access to the live-action series “Halo: Nightfall,” as well as the “Halo 5: Guardians” multiplayer beta. What a way to kick off your Game Pass experience.
‘Starfield’
New and hot, “Starfield,” which just launched last week, is an action role-playing game from Bethesda Game Studios and Bethesda Softworks. Also the first new intellectual property that Bethesda developed in 25 years, “Starfield” takes place in a space-themed setting.
Players can switch between a first- and third-person perspective at any point. The game features an open world from an area within the Milky Way galaxy, featuring both real and fictional planetary systems. Gamers can land on over 1,000 planets, as well as a wide range of moons and space stations. Discover your inner astronaut with this game.
‘Grand Theft Auto V’
Equally as impressive, “Grand Theft Auto V” is an action-adventure game that’s one of the biggest offerings of Rockstar Games. It is the seventh main entry in the “GTA” series and the 15th installment overall.
The game is set in a fictional place called San Andreas, inspired by Southern California. Its single-player story follows three main protagonists – retired back robber Michael de Santa, drug dealer and gunrunner Trevor Philips, and street gangster Franklin Clinton – as they take on missions and commit heists under pressure from a corrupt government agency and influential criminals.
Also, “GTA V’s” open world design will let you roam San Andreas’ open countryside, as well as the fictional city of Los Santos, which is meanwhile based on Los Angeles. If you fancy stealing cars, this is a game for you.
