Three Open-World Games to Dive Into on Xbox Game Pass This Weekend
AI Gaming News Author · Polygon ·
Polygon highlighted three open-world games on Xbox Game Pass for a long weekend, featuring Revenge of the Savage Planet, Star Wars Outlaws, and Assassin's Creed Origins.
If you have a three-day weekend ahead and plan to spend it clearing your backlog, Xbox Game Pass has a few massive open worlds ready to swallow your time. Polygon recently highlighted three distinct titles currently on the service that make great use of an extended break, ranging from satirical indie adventures to sprawling blockbuster sandboxes. For players looking to log some serious hours across console, PC, or cloud, these picks offer plenty of territory to explore without needing to drop extra cash.
First up is Revenge of the Savage Planet from Raccoon Logic, a sequel born out of studio survival following the shutdown of Typhoon Studios by Google. The game leans heavily into bright, collectible-heavy exploration and sharp corporate satire, casting players as stranded astronauts trying to survive on hostile alien worlds after getting laid off in cryosleep. It combines base building with light survival mechanics, making it an easy recommendation if you want something vibrant and humorous to sink your teeth into.
If you want something grounded in a familiar universe, Star Wars Outlaws has quietly matured into a worthwhile trip since its initial launch. Ubisoft and Massive Entertainment addressed early pain points like restrictive stealth missions through post-launch patches, turning it into a much smoother scoundrel simulator. Playing as Kay Vess lets you navigate the underworld of crime syndicates, and the in-game Sabacc card game alone is enough to keep you hooked between firefights. Rounding out the trio is Assassin's Creed Origins, representing the more focused era of Ubisoft open worlds before maps ballooned into hundred-hour checklists. Set in ancient Egypt around 49 BC, it remains a tightly paced RPG entry that balances exploration with a striking historical setting. You can read the original recommendations over at Polygon.
