There are loads of great titles to check out as part of the subscription, spanning a wide range of genres, but we've picked out just a small few that we think you should definitely check out with Xbox Game Pass Ultimate.
A Way Out (Xbox One)
This exhilarating co-op adventure first dropped on Xbox One back in 2018, and delivers a memorable story packed with extremely varied gameplay. You can only play it with two players - either online or locally on the couch - but we highly suggest finding someone to play, as it's a highly entertaining way to spend six hours-or-so.
From the creators of Brothers – A Tale of Two Sons comes A Way Out, an exclusively co-op adventure where you play the role of one of two prisoners making their daring escape from prison.

Dead Space (Xbox 360)
Well over a decade since it first released for the Xbox 360, Dead Space is still considered one of the scariest and most thrilling survival horror games in the history of the platform.

Dragon Age: Inquisition actually launched in the early days of the Xbox One back in 2014 - yes, it's been that long since we were last treated to a new Dragon Age game! Fortunately, this one is excellent, so we highly recommend going back and checking it out with EA Play, especially if you never got around to it six years ago.

Mass Effect. Dead Space. Dragon Age. Battlefield. Etc.
Tons of great games on EA Play & it’s great that we get them in Game Pass! 👍🏻
I want to echo everything said here regarding Titanfall 2. That multiplayer is what I believe the kids refer to as "chef's kiss".
Currently playing Jedi Fallen Order, Game is amazing..
I'm all in on Battlefront II, can't wait to play fallen order. Forgot about the boxing game...heard it's fantastic. As usual too many to choose from, would love to play them all eventually. One game at a time...or 4-5 but you get the jist
Another vote for Peggle 2 here. Also unravel and the sequel. Great games.
