10 Best Console Games On Xbox Game Pass Right Now
6. The Outer Worlds
Obsidian's latest is a true gem and well worth the price of Game Pass alone. With Fallout creators Tim Cain and Leonard Boyarsky heading the title, those left with a post-apocalyptic itch after the Fallout 76 debacle were more than catered for with The Outer Worlds. Fallout comparisons aside, The Outer Worlds is an excellent RPG awaiting anyone on Game Pass.
Set in an alternative future time line, where mega-corporations colonise planets, players take on the role of 'the Stranger,' who was one of a crew of the ship Hope revived by scientist Phineas Welles, after he finds the craft floating outside of the planetary system of Halcyon.
Exceeding its publisher's expectations on release, The Outer Worlds was warmly received by critics and players alike and deservedly so, adding yet another stellar RPG to Obsidian's roster. Particular praise was set aside for the writing and voice acting, and so those looking for characterful role playing experience need look no further.
The Outer Worlds has seen its first major DLC this autumn, with Peril on Gorgon dropping earlier this season in September, and Game Pass lets players get to grips with the base game in all its glory.
