🔗 Share this article Three Game Pass Games We Are Playing Over the Weekend (October 10-12) Following Microsoft's recent announcement of Xbox Game Pass membership changes, featuring a price increase for the Ultimate Tier to $30 per month, numerous subscribers are looking for fresh ways to get the most from their membership. If you holding onto their subscription or considering joining, we present our latest recommendations. Our selected games include a beloved JRPG, a delightful independent journey, and a brilliant puzzler set to depart from the platform shortly. Persona 4 Golden One of the best ways to get your money's worth from Game Pass is by diving into a lengthy, engaging RPG — and Persona 4 Golden fits that bill perfectly. Players take on the part of a high school student who has just moved to the sleepy rural town of Inaba. By day, your objectives include making new friends, taking on employment, and managing studies. At night, you investigate a disturbing serial murder case by exploring unique locations themed around your friends' deepest insecurities. With a memorable group of heroes, strategic turn-based combat, impeccable visuals, and a storyline packed with twists, Persona 4 Golden is regarded as a masterpiece for good reason. It also features a highly engrossing gameplay loop that will have you playing past bedtime, repeatedly. Sopa - Tale of the Stolen Potato While big releases like Ninja Gaiden 4 are a key selling point for Game Pass, the platform also showcases lesser-known games. A great instance of this is Sopa: Tale of the Stolen Potato. Inspired by the animated classic, this charming indie game is a magical realist journey steeped in Latin American traditions. Players join Miho, who, after helping his grandmother make soup, is transported to a colorful realm populated by potato-stealing frogs and various eccentric creatures. Sopa plays out like an learning-focused PC game from the 1990s, as Miho tackles challenges and helps the world's inhabitants by collecting an assortment of items. Even if it's a bit unpolished, Sopa is a heartwarming small game that proudly celebrates its appreciation for South America. Cocoon: A Puzzle Adventure Cocoon is scheduled to exit the service on Oct. 15, giving you only a few days to experience it via subscription — and you definitely should. Developer Geometric Interactive crafted one of the finest puzzle games of recent years in the 2023 release Cocoon. Its core puzzle mechanic revolves around moving between worlds within additional worlds, and often you'll carry those realms, in the shape of vibrant orbs, alongside you. While it lacks explicit instructions, everything about Cocoon: A Puzzle Adventure's challenges is designed in a highly natural manner, yet they will challenge you as well. 2023 was a big year for video games, so it's no surprise if Cocoon: A Puzzle Adventure was somewhat overlooked by many players. Let's rectify that now.
