Xbox Game Pass Offers Top RPG Deals Now

Xbox Game Pass Ultimate – 1 Month Membership – Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, Windows, Cloud Gaming Devices [Digital Code]

0$19.99 at Amazon

As someone who transitioned from console to PC gaming years ago, Steam sales typically satisfied my gaming needs - making Xbox Game Pass seem unnecessary despite its growing library. That changed overnight with two major releases that finally justified the subscription for me.

Oblivion Remastered: A Nostalgic Masterpiece Reborn

Bethesda and Virtuos stealth-launched The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered directly into Game Pass on April 22. While rumors swirled for months, the shadow drop still shocked fans. The enhanced edition delivers rebuilt character models, modernized combat mechanics, and remastered visual effects while preserving the iconic (and sometimes awkward) voice acting that made the original so memorable. Priced at $49.99 for the standard edition (including all original DLC), it's currently available through Game Pass at no additional cost.

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 - A Stylish JRPG Homage

Launching April 23 at midnight PST, Sandfall Interactive's Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 brings fresh energy to the turn-based RPG genre. The French developer's debut already boasts a 92 Metacritic rating, with IGN's 9/10 review praising its "modern throwback" design. Its Persona-inspired UI and innovative combat system make this $49.99 title another compelling Game Pass addition.

While some worry Oblivion's surprise release might overshadow Expedition 33, Game Pass subscribers get to enjoy both groundbreaking titles for less than either game's standalone price. My $20 Game Pass Ultimate subscription provided access to what would have been a $100 purchase otherwise.

Why Game Pass Became Essential

Beyond these April highlights, Game Pass continues expanding with major 2025 releases like Blue Prince, South of Midnight, and Avowed alongside perennial favorites including GTA V and Call of Duty. The service now offers exceptional value across genres.

Subscription Options and Pricing

Game Pass Ultimate ($19.99/month) provides full access across platforms, while PC-only access costs $9.99/month. Standard and Core tiers at $14.99 and $9.99 respectively exclude day-one releases. With continuous content expansions, these prices may increase again following July 2024's adjustment.

Current subscribers might consider multi-month plans to lock in rates before potential hikes. For other platforms, check our PS5, PC, and Switch deals coverage - especially with Nintendo Switch 2 preorders launching tonight in the U.S.
