Three Xbox Game Pass games to enjoy this weekend (March 14-16)
We have one last quieter month of March before big games arrive, and this is the time when your Game Pass subscription is most valuable.
Ubisoft has observed how Game Pass serves multiple functions as a service. Some users utilize this platform to play the best Xbox Series X titles at launch, while others take advantage of it between games, and there are those who simply explore its extensive library. A notable use of Game Pass is preparing for upcoming game releases, whether by playing previous installments of a saga or titles in similar genres to get acclimated. With Assassin’s Creed Shadows on the horizon, we showcase some of the best options to enjoy this weekend.
Assassin’s Creed Odyssey
Within the extensive Assassin’s Creed offerings on Game Pass, Odyssey stands out as one of the best entries since the franchise ventured into the RPG world. Although set in an earlier point in the timeline, the connection between games is quite tenuous. What truly matters is the vastness and how entertaining its world is. Unlike Valhalla, Odyssey doesn’t feel as overwhelming, allowing you to reacquaint yourself with parkour, stealth, and combat. This installment offers one of the most captivating narratives in the series, and even if you only explore it a little to avoid burnout before Shadows, it will serve as excellent preparation. Odyssey is available on PS4, Xbox One, Switch, and PC.
Enter the Gungeon
Roguelike fans are eagerly awaiting the release of 33 Immortals, but until it arrives, they can enjoy Enter the Gungeon, which has returned to Game Pass. This game also emphasizes the importance of positioning and dodging, combining it with a chaotic art style. The player takes on the role of a solitary fighter facing bosses that unleash a torrential downpour of bullets. The varied and random weaponry comes with different utilities and amusing names, as well as multiple synergies with other items. With secrets, bosses, and unlockables, Gungeon establishes itself as one of the most satisfying roguelike experiences without falling into saturation. It is available on PS4, Xbox One, Switch, and PC.
Powerwash Simulator
As spring arrives, many begin to think about cleaning, and Powerwash Simulator offers a fun virtual alternative. While it is recommended to clean at home, experimenting with this simulator can be more satisfying. Far from being just a meme game, it has gained considerable popularity among users. Cleaning virtual environments with a pressure washer provides a sense of achievement that can be extremely relaxing. There is additional content that allows you to clean scenarios from series and movies like Wallace and Gromit, Shrek, or Back to the Future. Powerwash Simulator is available on PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, Switch, and PC.
Xbox continues to offer a solid catalog of titles on Game Pass, preparing for the release of games like Avowed. Although only a few games have arrived this month, the variety remains exciting. Players can enjoy titles like Madden NFL 25, which offers an exhilarating experience in American football, perfect for gearing up for the Super Bowl. With technical innovations like the FieldSENSE physics system, Madden 25 aims to open a new horizon in the gaming experience.
