Following the company's latest announcement of Game Pass subscription updates, featuring a price increase for the top tier to $thirty monthly, many subscribers are seeking new ways to get the most from their subscription. For those keeping their subscription or thinking about joining, we present our latest recommendations.

This weekend's titles feature a acclaimed JRPG, a delightful indie journey, and a brilliant puzzler set to depart from the platform shortly.

Persona 4: The Golden Edition

Among the best methods to maximize value from Game Pass is by diving into a lengthy, captivating RPG — and Persona 4: The Golden Edition fits that description exactly. You take on the part of a teenager who has relocated to the quiet countryside of Inaba. By day, your objectives include forming friendships, working employment, and keeping up with studies. By night, you work to solve a chilling string of murders by exploring strange dungeons based on your companions' deepest insecurities.

With a memorable group of heroes, strategic battle system, flawless visuals, and a plot full of surprises, Persona 4: The Golden Edition is considered a classic for many reasons. It also features a incredibly addictive gameplay loop that will have you playing past bedtime, night after night.

Sopa: Tale of the Stolen Potato

While big releases like Ninja Gaiden 4 are a primary selling point for the service, the subscription also showcases lesser-known games. A great instance of this is Sopa - Tale of the Stolen Potato. Inspired by the animated classic, this charming independent adventure is a magical realist tale steeped in Latin American traditions. You join Miho, who, after helping his grandma prepare soup, is transported to a colorful world populated by potato-stealing frogs and various eccentric animals.

Sopa: Tale of the Stolen Potato plays out like an learning-focused computer title from the 90s, as Miho tackles puzzles and aids the world's inhabitants by collecting an assortment of items. Though it's a little unpolished, Sopa: Tale of the Stolen Potato is a heartwarming little experience that openly celebrates its appreciation for the region's culture.

Cocoon

Cocoon: A Puzzle Adventure is set to exit Game Pass on October 15, leaving only a short time to play it via your membership — and you absolutely must. Studio the creators crafted one of the finest puzzle games of this generation in the 2023 release Cocoon: A Puzzle Adventure. Its central gameplay element revolves around transitioning between realms within other worlds, and often you'll transport those worlds, in the shape of vibrant spheres, alongside you.

While it lacks explicit guidance, everything about Cocoon's challenges is built in a very intuitive manner, though they can challenge you as well. 2023 was a big period for video games, so it's no surprise if Cocoon: A Puzzle Adventure was somewhat missed by the masses. Let's correct that while we can.
