🔗 Share this article 3 Xbox Game Pass Games We Are Playing This Weekend (October 10-12) Following the company's recent news of Xbox Game Pass membership updates, including a cost hike for the Ultimate Tier to $thirty monthly, many subscribers are seeking new ways to maximize their membership. If you keeping their subscription or considering signing up, here are our latest picks. Our selected games include a acclaimed Japanese role-playing game, a delightful indie adventure, and a superb puzzle game scheduled to leave the service shortly. Persona 4: The Golden Edition One of the top methods to get your money's worth from Game Pass is by diving into a extensive, engaging RPG — and Persona 4: The Golden Edition fits that description exactly. You step into the role of a high school student who has relocated to the quiet rural town of Inaba. By day, your objectives include making new friends, working employment, and managing studies. At night, you investigate a chilling string of murders by venturing into unique locations based on your friends' deepest insecurities. With a memorable group of heroes, strategic turn-based combat, flawless art design, and a plot packed with surprises, Persona 4: The Golden Edition is considered a classic for many reasons. It also boasts a highly engrossing cycle that will keep you up past bedtime, night after night. Sopa - Tale of the Stolen Potato While major releases like Ninja Gaiden 4 are a key attraction for the service, the subscription also highlights smaller indie gems. A perfect instance of this is Sopa: Tale of the Stolen Potato. Inspired by the animated classic, this enchanting indie game is a fantasy journey steeped in South American traditions. Players follow Miho, who, after helping his grandma make soup, is transported to a vibrant realm filled with potato-nabbing frogs and other quirky creatures. Sopa unfolds like an educational computer title from the 1990s, as Miho solves challenges and aids the world's inhabitants by collecting an assortment of items. Even if it's a bit rough around the edges, Sopa is a sweet small game that openly celebrates its love for the region's culture. Cocoon: A Puzzle Adventure Cocoon: A Puzzle Adventure is set to leave Game Pass on October 15, giving you only a short time to experience it via subscription — and you absolutely should. Studio Geometric Interactive designed one of the finest puzzlers of recent years in 2023's Cocoon: A Puzzle Adventure. Its core gameplay element revolves around moving among worlds inside additional dimensions, and often you'll carry those worlds, in the shape of vibrant spheres, with you. While it lacks direct guidance, everything about Cocoon's puzzles is designed in a highly intuitive manner, yet they can challenge you as well. The year 2023 proved a big year for games, so it's understandable if Cocoon was a bit overlooked by the masses. Let's correct that now.
