After the company's recent announcement of Xbox Game Pass membership changes, including a price increase for the Ultimate Tier to $30 per month, many subscribers are looking for new ways to maximize their membership. If you holding onto their membership or considering joining, we present our latest picks.

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

Persona 4: The Golden Edition

Among the best methods to get your money's worth from Game Pass is by diving into a lengthy, captivating role-playing game — and Persona 4 Golden fits that description perfectly. You take on the part of a high school student who has just moved to the quiet countryside of Inaba. By day, your objectives involve forming friendships, taking on employment, and managing studies. By night, you work to solve a disturbing string of murders by venturing into unique dungeons based on your companions' deepest insecurities.

With a memorable cast of characters, strategic turn-based combat, impeccable art design, and a plot packed with surprises, Persona 4: The Golden Edition is regarded as a classic for many reasons. It also boasts a incredibly engrossing cycle that will have you playing past bedtime, repeatedly.

Sopa: Tale of the Stolen Potato

Although big titles like Ninja Gaiden IV are a key attraction for Game Pass, the subscription also showcases lesser-known games. A great example of this is Sopa - Tale of the Stolen Potato. Inspired by the animated classic, this enchanting indie adventure is a fantasy journey rooted in Latin American traditions. Players join Miho, who, after helping his grandmother make soup, is transported to a vibrant realm filled with potato-nabbing frogs and various quirky animals.

Sopa: Tale of the Stolen Potato unfolds like an educational PC game from the 1990s, as Miho tackles challenges and aids the world's residents by gathering an assortment of objects. Even if it's a little rough around the edges, Sopa: Tale of the Stolen Potato is a heartwarming small game that openly showcases its appreciation for the region's culture.

Cocoon

Cocoon: A Puzzle Adventure is set to leave the service on October 15, leaving only a short time to play it via your membership — and you absolutely must. Developer Geometric Interactive crafted one of the finest puzzlers of this generation in the 2023 release Cocoon: A Puzzle Adventure. Its central gameplay element focuses on moving between realms inside other dimensions, and often you'll carry those realms, in the form of vibrant spheres, alongside you.

Although it doesn't have explicit guidance, everything about Cocoon's challenges is designed in a highly natural way, yet they will test you as well. The year 2023 proved a massive period for games, so it's understandable if Cocoon was a bit overlooked by the masses. Let's correct that while we can.
