If you're an RPG enthusiast who’s been sitting on the sidelines when it comes to Xbox Game Pass, April 2025 might be the moment that changes everything. Two major RPGs just landed on the platform, and together they’re redefining what makes the subscription worthwhile.
First up is The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered. This isn't just a basic port—it’s a full visual and mechanical overhaul of the classic 2006 title. With smoother controls, upgraded VFX, and modernized voice work, the game manages to keep its nostalgic charm while meeting current-gen expectations. It launched on April 22 for $49.99, but is available at no extra cost for Game Pass subscribers.
The very next day, Game Pass users are getting Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. This debut title from Sandfall Interactive is an original JRPG-style game with a stunning UI and a tactical combat system praised by critics. IGN called it “a true modern throwback,” and with a Metacritic score of 92, it’s shaping up to be one of 2025’s best-reviewed games so far.
Individually, both games are worth their asking price. But the real draw is that you can access both through Xbox Game Pass, giving you top-tier RPGs for a fraction of the cost. Add in other recent hits like Avowed, South of Midnight, and GTA V, and you’ve got a lineup that few other platforms can match.
Looking for a great middle-ground option? The
XGPS Membership Accounts for Sale subscription delivers access to hundreds of games at a lower monthly price, perfect for players who don’t need day-one drops but still want tons of variety.
With this kind of library, Xbox Game Pass is no longer just a good deal—it’s a no-brainer for anyone who loves role-playing games. Whether you're rediscovering old favorites or diving into fresh experiences, 2025 might be the best year yet to subscribe.
