Three Game Pass Titles We Are Playing Over the Weekend (Oct. 10-12)

After the company's latest news of Game Pass subscription updates, including a cost hike for the top tier to $thirty per month, numerous subscribers are seeking new methods to get the most from their subscription. If you holding onto their membership or considering signing up, we present our latest picks.

This weekend's titles include a beloved JRPG, a charming independent adventure, and a superb puzzle game scheduled to leave the service shortly.

Persona 4: The Golden Edition

Among the top ways to get your money's worth from your subscription is by diving into a lengthy, captivating role-playing game — and Persona 4 Golden matches that description exactly. Players take on the part of a teenager who has relocated to the sleepy rural town of Inaba. During the day, your goals involve making friendships, taking on employment, and managing schoolwork. At night, you investigate a chilling string of murders by exploring unique locations themed around your friends' deepest insecurities.

With a unforgettable cast of characters, strategic turn-based combat, impeccable art design, and a storyline packed with surprises, Persona 4: The Golden Edition is considered a masterpiece for many reasons. It also features a highly engrossing cycle that will keep you up past bedtime, night after night.

Sopa - Tale of the Stolen Potato

While major titles like Ninja Gaiden 4 are a primary selling point for Game Pass, the subscription also highlights lesser-known games. A perfect example of this is Sopa: Tale of the Stolen Potato. Inspired by the animated classic, this charming independent adventure is a fantasy journey rooted in South American traditions. Players join Miho, who, after assisting his grandmother make soup, is transported to a colorful realm populated by potato-stealing frogs and other quirky creatures.

Sopa unfolds like an educational PC game from the 1990s, as Miho tackles puzzles and aids the world's residents by gathering an inventory of items. Even if it's a little unpolished, Sopa: Tale of the Stolen Potato is a heartwarming little experience that proudly celebrates its appreciation for South America.

Cocoon

Cocoon: A Puzzle Adventure is set to exit the service on October 15, giving you only a few days to experience it via your membership — and you absolutely should. Studio the creators crafted one of the finest puzzlers of recent years in 2023's Cocoon. Its core gameplay element focuses on transitioning between worlds inside additional dimensions, and often you'll carry those realms, in the form of colorful spheres, with you.

Although it lacks explicit guidance, everything about Cocoon: A Puzzle Adventure's puzzles is built in a very intuitive way, though they will test you as well. 2023 was a big period for games, so it's understandable if Cocoon was somewhat missed by many players. We should rectify that now.
