2025 has already proven that the Xbox Game Pass is the best deal in the game. Especially for RPG fans, a single subscription fee will have access to hundreds of hours of content, whether it’s a fantasy adventure with a dragon or a fantasy adventure sailing through the stars.
It helps it Xbox Game Studios owns Bethesda. Bethesda is the company behind some of the best RPG franchises of all timeIncludes Fallout and Elder Scrolls. Starfield is there too, but perhaps after a few more expansions, it wasn’t as impressive as creating a list.
This list contains only one entry from each franchise, but as with spinoffs, compilations are acceptable as long as they are included in one game. If the entries tend to be very similar, it is not fair that one or two series dominate completely.
Thanks to the streaming feature of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, anyone who wants to jump straight to some amazing RPGs can do it right away on multiple devices. These are the best options for those who want to go on an adventure.

Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader
Only Xenos fight in real time
Owlcat Games has created a great game based on the Pathfinder Tabletop RPG, but the best titles on GamePass are based on another flagship RPG universe, Warhammer 40,000. However, this time the player does not need to slide the familiar power armor of Space Marines.
Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader takes on the extraordinary approach of setting the player as a Rogue Trader.
This gives you a unique glimpse into the Warhammer 40,000 universe. Turn-based battles and management of merchant ships in the darkness of spaceresisting the temptation of the gods of chaos at every turn.

avowed
Skyrim for Mushroom People
Bethesda has a reputation for constantly porting Skyrim to new platforms. So, it’s surprising that few companies are trying to copy the formula, taking into account how successful it was.
Avowed does a stunning job of taking the first person adventure style of Elder Scrolls and porting it to an eternal column of space.
Technically it’s not an open world, Avowed’s vast level has plenty of contentplayers can experiment with various magic and melee builds.
Hopefully, the DLC, further down the line to add romance options, will help flesh out the game a little more, as Baldur’s Gate 3 twisted generation wants to get badly in the cast.

Dragon Age: Inquisition
Finish the story (until Belguard)
It’s a shame that there’s no legendary edition equivalent to Dragon Age games, so it’s a shame that they all came in one package. As it stands, Dragon Age: Inquisition is the best of the original trilogy and can stand on its own.
After the invasion of the first game of Darkspawn and the political tensions at Kirkwall in the sequel, Dragon Age: Inquisition becomes even more positive, opening a portal to the sky, allowing monsters to invade the world.
It depends on the player Lead the Inquisition into battle and use their unique powers to close the portalGod’s long forgotten secret has finally been revealed.
Given the fact that Divisive Dragon Age: The Veilguard was with the fans and how quickly he jumped to the PlayStation Plus, the series could fall into hibernation. This means the Dragon Age. The Inquisition is the best that a franchise fan will get for a while.

Radioactive Fallout: New Vegas
Ready to patch
Fallout: The new Vegas is plagued by many technical issues at launch and is hardly playable. Luckily, the game has been modified and anyone looking to explore Wasteland can do so with the best entries in the fallout franchise without having to run through the geometry.
Fallout: New Vegas over Fallout 3 is difficult to choose. Both are excellent games. Fallout 3 may be a better choice for those who want an easier story. The player is like the white baby face in that game, while Fallout: New Vegas gives the hero more options for bad things.
Fallout: New Vegas offers players an unprecedented option to sid together with the various factions competing for control of the new Vegas strip, especially since it is impossible to please them all. Players can also choose to flip the bird and strike on their own, simply adopting Wastaland’s beauty and horror as explorers.

Octopath Travelers
8 characters, 1 story
It’s odd to think there was a time when JRPGs fell out of favor, especially a turn-based era, but Square Enix still managed to put out a banger that attracted audiences. Suitable Case: Octopath Traveler. This helped create the 2D-HD aesthetics used in other excellent JRPGs.
Octopath Travelers track the stories of eight different characters, allowing players to switch between them at different points and form a party from the cast. From here, After countless turn-based battles, various stories gradually unfoldeight people have to fight alongside a single enemy, so at the end they all come together.
Octopath Traveller features a job system that gives players the opportunity to customize the abilities of their characters in the same way as games like Final Fantasy V. Each hero also has unique powers that work outside of combat, giving players a good reason to switch compositions when exploring the world.

Eternal Pillar II: Dead Fire
Baldur’s Gate Pirates
If you’ve fallen in love with the world of Eora after playing Avowed, check out the series it spun: Pillars of Eternity. The first game could appear as a gate clone of OG Baldur, but the sequel is set on the high seas, so it’s where things really get better.
When ancient beings wake up and are rampaging around the world, it’s up to the watcher to sail from the first game to chase. Like Mass Effect 2, this makes sense The game begins with the hero being killed and resurrected during the incidentanyone skipping the first game has the opportunity to choose what happened and make everyone react to their decisions.
It clearly incorporates the isometric Bardour gate-style formula, with a world of Pirates of the Caribbean style, as well as an island to explore and a fleet to build. If you’re looking for a slightly different fantasy RPG, try the Pillar of Eternity.
Patrick Stewart approved
A slow entry on the list and an entry that stole a Skyrim spot. Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered cast a shadow over the world without warning (except countless leaks). Game Pass subscribers were able to return straight to the world of Tamriel.
What they found was A much greater experience than the leak hinted atSomething worth returning for those who have completed their original oblivion.
Oblivion Remaster is built on the same classic game, but with most visual improvements it makes it hard to recognize. Throw a ton of gameplay adjustments and all DLCs (except horse armor, as locked in the Deluxe Edition).

Person 3 reload
Fight and learn the devil
The Persona franchise has produced several gems, but Xbox Game Pass subscribers not only received a Persona 3 reload at launch, but also received an extension pass and added the postgame “The Answer” DLC. This is one of the best entry points for those who want to join the Persona/Symmegamitency series at a low cost.
Persona 3 is already an amazing JRPG, and players had to live on a school schedule. They balance their academic careers with dungeon exploration and ventured through the towers that appear at school every night.
Reload will completely revamp the visuals and show you some real-life features that will make combat a little more generousconvert it into the definitive version of the game.

clear clear nabure: expedition 33
French Final Fantasy
The latest entry on the list and already a powerful competitor for Game of the Year 2025, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is a turn-based RPG in a world where huge clocks are ticking and killing people older than a few. This will ultimately wipe out humanity, so the expedition is dispatched to stop “painting pills.” They believed that the monster was behind the curse.
The Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is an absolute gorgeous visual and a QTE-style twist on the combat system. An inevitable RPG experience, especially for those who love the PS2 era of JRPGS.. The game proves that there is absolutely a place for turn-based combat in modern times, even when Square Enix is trying to push Final Fantasy into an action-RPG style.
The fact that Claie Obscur: Expedition 33 has been launched once a day with Game Pass shows how much value the service can offer, especially for so many devices.

Mass Effect Legendary Edition
Just ignore the ending
Mass Effect Trilogy has produced one of the game’s most memorable stories. Humanity finally reached the star and made contact with the aliens.
Following the story of Commander Shepherd in three games, the player is Decisions that will affect the sequel continue to preserve them throughout the trilogyone of the most epic RPG stories in the game.
The fact that they are bundled with visual and quality of life tweaks makes this a definitive way to experience the mass effect trilogy, especially for those who have never played this at launch and have managed to avoid the drama and controversy that have driven them in the past.
