After the Xbox Games Showcase, play these Game Pass greats this weekend (June 14-16)

We’re coming off a fantastic week for Xbox. Although this has been a rough year for the company and game reveals don’t make up for all the developers Microsoft has laid off, the Xbox Games Showcase did feature lots of promising games and helped reaffirm the feeling that Xbox is here to stay in gaming.

Recommended Videos Gears of War: Ultimate Edition The final announcement of 2024’s Xbox Games Showcase was Gears of War: E-Day, a prequel that will go back and tell the story of when the Locust Horde first attacked the surface of Sera. Gears of War is one of the pillar franchises of Xbox, so if you’ve somehow never played one before the announcement of Gears of War: E-Day, it gives you the perfect excuse to revisit the original.

While I personally think Dragon Age: Origins is a bit better, the plot of Inquisition will be a lot more specifically relevant to The Veilguard. Solas, the Dread Wolf and seemingly main villain of The Veilguard, is actually a party member in this game. Characters that will return in The Veilguard like Varric and Harding also pop up in this game. You’ll definitely want a refresher on the characters and events of Inquisition before you start playing The Veilguard.

Perfect Dark While GoldenEye is the most fondly remembered shooter from Rare, 2000’s Perfect Dark is arguably its real masterpiece. Originally released for Nintendo 64, this is a slick sci-fi thriller where players go up against a mysterious alien threat as the badass secret agent Joanna Dark. Its story is surprisingly entertaining for the time it was released, and Perfect Dark’s open-ended level design and shooting still feel surprisingly engaging for a game that is now over 24 years old.
