Play this tonight

Crimson Desert

Indiana Jones and the Great Circle earns its Game Pass queue slot with a story-rich open world that rivals Last Crusade.

  • Updated 11d ago

Indiana Jones and the Great Circle

Deserves your Game Pass queue slot — Great Circle holds its own next to Last Crusade, and the April 2025 PS5 port added native 4K Pro support.

  • Updated 70d ago

Dragon’s Dogma 2

If you can forgive the original's quirks, DD2 holds up — patches fixed CPU performance and the microtransaction outrage was overblown (everything's findable in-game).

  • Updated 70d ago

Final Fantasy VII Rebirth

Despite a bare-minimum PC port, FF7 Rebirth's 100-hour follow-up to Remake holds its own — Queen's Blood alone could eat 20 hours.

  • Updated 70d ago

Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree

Best-in-class single-player DLC if you finished base Elden Ring — Land of Shadow rivals a full game, and patch 1.14 tamed Consort Radahn's combos.

  • Updated 70d ago

S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl

Finally fixed since launch — patches 1.5 through 1.8 restored A-Life and tamed the worst stutters that wrecked the November 2024 reception.

  • Updated 70d ago

Palworld

Holds up in solo or co-op despite the 99% playerbase crash from 2M peak to 25k — Pokémon-with-guns hook earns its $30.

  • Updated 70d ago

Tainted Grail: The Fall of Avalon

A grim Arthurian RPG that earned its 'Morrowind-likes' label — Tainted Grail's Avalon is bleak, branching, and rewards players who came for writing over combat.

  • Updated 71d ago

ARC Raiders

Embark's prettiest and friendliest extraction shooter — ARC Raiders trades Tarkov's hardcore detail for cleaner combat and a real sci-fi world to fight over.

  • Updated 71d ago

Dying Light: The Beast

Techland brought Kyle Crane back for the right reasons — The Beast is Dying Light at its most focused since the original, with parkour, Crane, and a meaner map.
