Microsoft’s Xbox Game Pass continues to compete with PlayStation Plus Extra and EA Play by rotating in a mix of big-name shooters and smaller, more experimental indies. This batch leans on recognisable action with Call of Duty: Vanguard, while RV There Yet? and Winds of Arcana: Ruination aim to pad out the library with something different for nights when you’re not in the mood for another multiplayer grind.
Which of these is actually worth your download time?
Vanguard is the headline: a campaign and multiplayer suite that suits anyone who likes fast, familiar Call of Duty gunplay, with progression that rewards regular sessions. RV There Yet? reads more like a palate cleanser—lighter pacing and a change of tone between bigger releases. Winds of Arcana: Ruination should appeal if you prefer fantasy-flavoured combat and systems to tinker with, rather than pure reflex shooting.
- Best for quick action: Call of Duty: Vanguard
- Best for something calmer: RV There Yet?
- Best for RPG-style depth: Winds of Arcana: Ruination
