There's a lot of bangers in that list, as well as some day-one Game Pass launches that are certainly worth checking out. High on Life 2 is a big new release this month, with skateboarding as a major new addition to the typical humour-focused FPS gameplay.

You've got Kingdom Come Deliverance, the historical RPG that kicked off the story of Henry and his rough and rowdy quest across Bohemia. It received a critically acclaimed sequel last year, but if you've not played the original now may be the perfect time to do so.

There's also Avowed, the latest big-budget RPG by Obsidian Entertainment. A first-person action RPG with a lot of love poured into it, it's perhaps the polar opposite to Kingdom Come Deliverance, but matches it in terms of quality. A big month for RPG fans for certain.

As with all prior months, Game Pass is also waving goodbye to a number of games. This month, it's just Madden NFL 24.
