After the company's recent news of Xbox Game Pass subscription updates, including a price increase for the Ultimate Tier to $30 monthly, numerous subscribers are seeking new ways to get the most from their subscription. If you holding onto their membership or thinking about joining, we present our latest recommendations.

Our selected titles include a acclaimed JRPG, a charming independent adventure, and a superb puzzle game set to depart from the platform shortly.

Persona 4 Golden

Among the top methods to get your money's worth from your subscription is by immersing yourself in a lengthy, captivating RPG — and Persona 4 Golden matches that bill exactly. You take on the role of a high school student who has just moved to the sleepy countryside of Inaba. By day, your goals involve forming new friends, working employment, and keeping up with schoolwork. At night, you investigate a chilling string of murders by exploring unique locations themed around your companions' inner fears.

With a memorable group of heroes, strategic battle system, impeccable art design, and a storyline packed with surprises, Persona 4 Golden is considered a masterpiece for many reasons. It also boasts a highly engrossing cycle that will have you playing past bedtime, repeatedly.

Sopa: Tale of the Stolen Potato

Although big releases like Ninja Gaiden IV are a key selling point for Game Pass, the subscription also showcases lesser-known indie gems. A perfect example of this is Sopa: Tale of the Stolen Potato. Inspired by Spirited Away, this charming independent game is a fantasy journey steeped in South American traditions. Players follow Miho, who, after helping his grandmother make soup, is transported to a vibrant realm populated by potato-nabbing frogs and various eccentric animals.

Sopa unfolds like an learning-focused PC game from the 1990s, as Miho solves challenges and helps the world's residents by gathering an inventory of objects. Even if it's a bit rough around the edges, Sopa: Tale of the Stolen Potato is a heartwarming small experience that openly showcases its love for South America.

Cocoon

Cocoon: A Puzzle Adventure is scheduled to leave Game Pass on October 15, leaving only a few days to play it via subscription — and you definitely should. Developer Geometric Interactive designed one of the finest puzzle games of recent years in the 2023 release Cocoon. Its central gameplay element revolves around moving between worlds within other dimensions, and often you'll carry those realms, in the form of colorful spheres, alongside you.

Although it lacks explicit instructions, everything about Cocoon's puzzles is built in a very natural manner, yet they will test you as well. 2023 was a massive year for video games, so it's understandable if Cocoon was somewhat missed by many players. Let's correct that while we can.
