5 Exclusives You Need To Try On Xbox Game Pass

There's no point arguing that the PlayStation has beaten Xbox this generation. However, as this generation comes to an end, it's Microsoft who are offering games with the best value with Xbox Game Pass. With over 100 games to choose from, it's the best subscription service out there right now.

If you have an Xbox One, you need to get Game Pass - it's a no-brainer.

#5 Ryse: Son of Rome

Ryse had flaws but it's still a good time

Ryse: Son of Rome is another Xbox One launch exclusive that is often overlooked. However, despite the story leaving a little to be desired, it's a very competent hack and slash game that takes you back to Ancient Rome. It's unfortunate that Microsoft never released a sequel which could have built on Ryse's many strengths, and if done right, could have been their exclusive series to rival Playstation's God of War.

#4 Sea of Thieves

Sea of Thieves

If I'd paid full price for Sea of Thieves at launch, I'd have been angry. Although it was gorgeous and fun for the first couple of hours, gameplay was repetitive and there was no progression system to speak of.

However, Rare has listened to fans since its launch and there are a ton of new additions to the game with more coming in the near future. If you're on Game Pass, try Sea of Thieves out. With the right crew, it can be a great time.

#3 Sunset Overdrive

Sunset Overdrive

Insomniac Games surprised everyone when they released Sunset Overdrive as a launch exclusive for the Xbox One. The game is still a blast with the outlandish story being complemented by equally larger than life characters.

The gameplay was tight and movement was fluid. Sadly, the game is often overlooked because of poor sales since the Xbox One's launch was an unmitigated disaster. Sunset Overdrive was released on Steam recently and I urge you guys to pick it up.

#2 Forza Horizon 4

Forza Horizon 4

Forza Horizon 4 is arguably the best racing game released this generation. Horizon 4 takes us to Britain and the stunning graphics is accompanied by tight handling and a variety of options. Not to mention, for car enthusiasts, you can tinker the performance of your car with a variety of options.

All this would mean nothing if gameplay wasn't fun and we're happy to report that Playground Games really hit the nail on the head with this one. It's easily one of the best Microsoft exclusive's released this generation.

#1 Halo: The Masterchief collection

Halo - Xbox's greatest exclusive

We end this list with the pinnacle of Microsoft exclusives - Halo. When the Xbox first launched, it was Halo that helped it compete with the PlayStation 2 before overtaking Sony's PS3 in the following generation. It's the best series of shooters ever released on consoles and the Masterchief collection neatly packs the best titles in the series into a neat collection.

The Masterchief collection has Halo: Combat Evolved, Halo, Halo 3, and Halo 4 and it's crazy to think that all of this is part of the Xbox Game Pass.
