Best games on Xbox Game Pass
Top ratedThe highest-rated games in the Xbox Game Pass catalogue, ranked purely by Microsoft Store player rating — no editorial spin, just what people who've actually played each game think of it. Every title here is free to play with an active subscription; the price shown is what it would cost to buy and keep outright, so you can see exactly how much value you're getting.
Ranking by rating instead of hype means a quiet five-year-old game can sit above this month's biggest release, and that's on purpose — a large review count backing up a high score is a much better signal than a trailer. If a specific style of game is what you're after, the ratings here span every category; browsing by genre narrows it down to just RPGs, shooters, horror, racing and the rest, and browsing by feature narrows it down by things like Play Anywhere or cloud gaming support instead. For what's changed most recently, check new additions to Game Pass, and before committing real playtime to something, it's worth a quick look at what's leaving the catalogue soon so you're not thirty hours into a save you're about to lose access to. Still deciding whether a subscription makes sense at all? See is Xbox Game Pass worth it for the full breakdown.

FAQ
How is "best" decided on this page?
Ranking comes straight from each game's Microsoft Store player rating — the same star score you'd see if you looked the game up yourself. We don't run our own editorial score or weight anything by how new or hyped a title is, so the order reflects what people who've actually played the game think of it, not marketing.
Does a high rating mean a game suits me?
Not automatically — a 4.8-star strategy game won't mean much if you don't like strategy games. Use this list to find the top of the catalogue overall, then narrow down by what you actually enjoy on the genre pages below.
Why isn't a game I like higher on the list?
Ratings only count once a game has enough Microsoft Store reviews to be meaningful, and very new releases sometimes haven't built up a rating yet — check the newest additions page for those.
Do I have to pay extra for these games?
No — every game on this page is included free with an active Xbox Game Pass subscription. The price shown next to each title is what it would cost to buy and own outright, so you can see the value of playing it through Game Pass instead.
