Xbox Game Pass: 10 Must-Plays You Should Try
1. Forza Horizon 4
Racing games are not everybody's idea of fun, which is why games such as Forza Horizon are often overlooked by people completely disinterested in the genre.
For no extra cost, however, it's worth taking a look at one of the pass' flagship titles.
Horizon is an arcade racer, in contrast to the more simulation-style experience offered by Forza's main instalments. Here there's more than simple circuit racing, and we have an open world littered with collectables, story missions, character creation and playground games, in which everybody leaves the second their team loses a round.
Continued free updates have seen new content added regularly, including the battle royale mode which seemingly every triple-A multiplayer game must include in today's age. And whilst the paid-for VIP and Car passes can be given a miss, the LEGO add-on is a joy; a highly destructible environment built from everyone's favourite construction toy.
Horizon is still fundamentally a racing game, but it is a far more accessible and enjoyable offering than its straight-laced cousins; if anything, the fact the Windows shutdown jingle can be used as a horn is single-handedly a dealmaker.
