Xbox Game Pass games by genre

Pick a genre below to see the best games on Xbox Game Pass in that category, each with the Microsoft Store price of buying it outright. From long RPGs and tense horror games to quick puzzle sessions and licensed sports titles, sorting the library by genre is usually a faster way to find something worth playing than scrolling the full catalogue.

Horror and RPGs are two of the most-searched categories here, but every genre listed is sorted by rating by default so the best-reviewed games surface first. If you'd rather browse by technical capability instead — Play Anywhere, 4K, cloud gaming — see games by feature, or check the best-rated games and what's new across the whole library.
