Among these, the first Remnant game and the latest successor are highlights. Both offer a dive into a dark, post-apocalyptic world where an otherworldly, invasive threat has taken root—quite literally. As a survivor, players will embark on a journey to stop evil in this third-person shooter and Soulslike hybrid.

The other pick most players will have their eyes on is Far Cry 6. The 2021 open-world FPS game sees players step into the shoes of Dani Rojas, who aims to rid the Caribbean isles of Yara of the iron fist of the tyrannical Castillo.

Players will engage in exciting skirmishes across vast, richly detailed environments, either in stealth or with all-out guns blazing. Interestingly, both of these options have co-op as well, meaning players can take a friend or two along for the ride as well.

Other notable games coming to Xbox Game Pass next month include Goat Simulator 3, World War Z, and Rise of the Tomb Raider, all of which are worth checking out for those unfamiliar with them.
