Microsoft’s overarching business plan for its Xbox Series X|S<\/a> consoles isn’t too difficult to decipher. The company has a clear vision to get as much of its player base onto their Game Pass<\/a> service as possible, with hopes that the platform will have similar success to Netflix or Disney+. Microsoft’s advertising and promotion of the service has become far more aggressive in recent months, with numerous titles being frequently added\u00a0and further day one releases being promised, such as Square Enix’s\u00a0Outriders<\/a>.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

One of the most notable moves that Microsoft has made recently has been the acquisition of ZeniMax Media, the parent company of gaming juggernaut Bethesda. The acquisition has added even further value to Game Pass, with the promise of upcoming day one releases being supplemented by a wave of new titles added to the service. Although the majority of\u00a0games added were ones that players most wanted, there are a few titles that certain sections of the Xbox fanbase would love to see included. The 10 games on this list didn’t reach the success of titles like\u00a0Fallout: New Vegas<\/a>\u00a0<\/em>or\u00a0Oblivion<\/a>,\u00a0<\/em>but they’re still enjoyable games that could all offer something to the service.<\/p>\n

10 <\/span>WET<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

WET<\/a>\u00a0<\/em>was released by Bethesda in 2009 on the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. The game was developed by\u00a0Artificial Mind & Movement, which is today known as\u00a0Behaviour Interactive. The game is known for its over-the-top action<\/a>, as the game supplemented its violent sword and gun fighting with acrobatic movements and cinematic slow-motion moments.<\/p>\n

A sequel, simply titled\u00a0WET 2,<\/em>\u00a0was\u00a0confirmed to be in development back in\u00a0November 2010. However, very little has been heard about the game since, so it’s either the best-kept secret in gaming, or it has sadly been canceled.<\/p>\n

9 <\/span>Brink<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Brink<\/a>\u00a0<\/em>isn’t a stranger to featuring on top 10 lists, though the title usually has the word “disappointment” in it. The game received a ton of hype and was expected to rejuvenate the first-person shooter genre back in 2011. However, it was met with lackluster fan reception and mediocre reviews exemplified by its Metascores ranging from 68 to 72.<\/p>\n

Despite this,\u00a0Brink\u00a0<\/em>has started to get some appreciation in recent years. The game\u00a0isn’t being excused for its faults; instead, it’s appreciated for how ahead of its time it was. The fast-paced action, squad-based gameplay<\/a>, and layered lore<\/a> have been seen in some of the gaming industry’s top multiplayer titles of recent years, like\u00a0Apex Legends<\/a>\u00a0<\/em>and\u00a0Overwatch<\/a>.\u00a0<\/em>Consequently, it would be great to have\u00a0Brink\u00a0<\/em>on Game Pass so that\u00a0its influence can be appreciated without gamers having to pay for a product that does have its shortcomings.<\/p>\n

8 <\/span>IHRA Drag Racing: Sportsman Edition<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

One of the best things about Game Pass is that generally speaking, it has something for everyone. However, there are some genres that are currently more prominent than others, one of which is Racing. Game Pass is a fantastic service for fans of racing games with titles like\u00a0Dirt 5<\/a>\u00a0<\/em>and\u00a0Forza Horizon 4<\/a>\u00a0<\/em>being available alongside the offering from EA Play such as\u00a0Need For Speed Heat<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n

It’s fair to say that IHRA Drag Racing: Sportsman Edition\u00a0<\/em>wouldn’t be one of\u00a0the\u00a0top titles if it landed on the Game Pass service, as the game received a mediocre reception upon release. However, the original Xbox title<\/a> would offer something different to the racing games currently available on the service, with its old-school gameplay and drag-racing theme.<\/p>\n

7 <\/span>Star Trek: Legacy<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

The recent announcement that\u00a0Star Wars: Squadrons<\/a>\u00a0<\/em>is coming to EA Play and subsequently Game Pass may deter Microsoft and Bethesda from putting\u00a0Star Trek: Legacy\u00a0<\/em>onto its service. However, this would be a shame as the game can provide an enjoyable experience for the\u00a0Star Trek<\/a>\u00a0<\/em>franchise’s large fanbase.<\/p>\n

2006’s Star Trek: Legacy\u00a0<\/em>was developed by\u00a0Mad Doc Software, who are today known as\u00a0Rockstar New England, following\u00a0Take-Two Interactive<\/a>‘s acquisition of the company in\u00a02008. The studio\u00a0has since offered supportive roles in developing some of Rockstar’s largest titles, including\u00a0Grand Theft Auto V<\/a>\u00a0<\/em>and\u00a0Red Dead Redemption 2<\/a>.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

6 <\/span>Hunted: The Demon’s Forge<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Hunted: The Demon’s Forge\u00a0<\/em>was released in 2011 and drew interest for its immersive and well-crafted dark fantasy setting. The game follows two protagonists,\u00a0Caddoc and E’lara, as they search for an artifact that appeared to the former in a vision. As the use of two protagonists suggests, the game can be played co-operatively.<\/p>\n

Hunted: The Demon’s Forge\u00a0<\/em>was developed by\u00a0inXile Entertainment, who released\u00a0Wasteland 3<\/em><\/a>\u00a0last year to critical acclaim.<\/p>\n

5 <\/span>Pirates of the Caribbean<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Back when the Pirates of the Caribbean<\/a>\u00a0<\/em>video game was released in 2003, movie tie-in games were prevalent, with memorable titles like\u00a0Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets<\/a>\u00a0<\/em>and\u00a0The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King<\/a>\u00a0<\/em>releasing around the same time. However, the movie tie-in genre would only be prominent in the gaming industry for a few more years, as gamers soon released that these releases often had to be developed by strict deadlines, resulting in rushed products.<\/p>\n

The Pirates of the Caribbean\u00a0<\/em>game was released shortly before the film, implying that\u00a0it would suffer similar issues. However, the action-RPG<\/a> didn’t feel rushed, likely because it was initially developed as a sequel to\u00a0Sea Dogs<\/em>, giving it a more natural development cycle.<\/p>\n

4 <\/span>Call of Cthulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Game Pass has its fair share of horror games on the service already, with\u00a0Resident Evil 7: Biohazard<\/a>, The Evil Within<\/a>,\u00a0<\/em>and the deceivingly terrifying\u00a0Subnautica<\/a>\u00a0<\/em>all trying their best to keep players up at night. However, the horror genre continues to be one of the gaming industry’s most prevalent, so it may be worth Bethesda and Microsoft considering the inclusion of\u00a0Call of Cthulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth<\/em>.<\/p>\n

RELATED:\u00a05 Best Bethesda Games (And 5 Worst), According To Metacritic<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

Call of Cthulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth\u00a0<\/em>was initially released on the original Xbox in 2005, before coming to PC the following year. The game was ahead of its time by giving players no weaponry to begin with, similar to titles like\u00a0Amnesia: The Dark Descent<\/a>\u00a0<\/em>and\u00a0Outlast<\/a>.\u00a0<\/em>Players will eventually find firearms, though like in any good survival horror game, ammunition is scarce.<\/p>\n

3 <\/span>Quake 4<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Quake 4<\/a>\u00a0<\/em>was initially published by Activision in 2005, though Bethesda handled the 2012 re-release, making its inclusion on Game Pass a possibility. The game would be a perfect inclusion for those looking for multiplayer fun with friends, as the\u00a0Quake\u00a0<\/em>franchise has been providing such entertainment for many years with its fast-paced Deathmatch and Capture The Flag game modes.<\/p>\n

Quake 4\u00a0<\/em>was well-received by critics, receiving Metascores of 75 and 81 on PC and Xbox 360 respectively.<\/p>\n

2 <\/span>The Evil Within 2<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Much like\u00a0Quake 4<\/em>,\u00a0The Evil Within 2<\/a>\u00a0<\/em>isn’t forgotten in the sense that\u00a0most gamers have never heard of it, but that the game seems perfect for the Game Pass service but has been overlooked.\u00a0It’s possible that the game is being held back so that Microsoft can announce another AAA Bethesda game in the future, though until then, it will be seen by many as the most disappointing exclusion.<\/p>\n

The Evil Within 2\u00a0<\/em>was well-received by fans and critics, with much of the praise being directed to the game’s open-world<\/a>, which was likely implemented to differentiate the\u00a0sequel from its predecessor.<\/p>\n

1 <\/span>Rage<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Rage<\/a> <\/em>feels like a forgotten child, <\/em>much like\u00a0The Evil Within 2,<\/em>\u00a0as the series’ other entry is currently on Game Pass. The decision to include\u00a0Rage 2<\/a>\u00a0<\/em>but not its predecessor is an especially odd choice as the original game was better received than its sequel, exemplified by the Xbox 360 game scoring nearly ten points higher than its successor on Metacritic.<\/p>\n

Rage\u00a0<\/em>certainly wasn’t without its faults, but the open-world game provides an enjoyable\u00a0post-apocalyptic experience that will appeal to\u00a0people looking for a similar experience to Bethesda’s\u00a0Fallout<\/a>\u00a0<\/em>games, many of which are currently on the service.<\/p>\n
