Xbox Game Pass recommendations for the weekend

• The first is Assassin’s Creed Mirage, which joined Game Pass Ultimate, PC Game Pass, and Xbox Cloud Gaming last Thursday. Set in 9th-century Baghdad, it recaptures the spirit of the early games in the series with a greater focus on stealth, urban exploration, and parkour. An ideal option for those who enjoy planning every move and getting lost in detailed scenarios.
• The second proposal is Rain World, available since August 5th on Xbox Series, Xbox One, PC, and cloud for all Game Pass plans. Here, you’ll control a fragile but ingenious creature in a broken ecosystem, where you’ll need to hunt, hide, and adapt to survive. Its unique aesthetic and marked survival mechanics make it a challenging yet satisfying experience.
