A Golden Page in Gaming History, Free on Xbox Game Pass

I urge you to use your Xbox Game Pass subscription to play the “best version” of a game that is praised as a “golden page in gaming history” before it’s removed from the catalog. The subscription service provided by Microsoft offers hundreds of games on both consoles and PC. The catalog is constantly updated; the August additions to Xbox Game Pass, for example, include Citizen Sleeper 2.

Among the hundreds of available titles, there’s also a variety of genres, catering to a wide audience. There are great RPGs on Xbox Game Pass, as well as racing titles, action games, and much more. If you’re looking for an action-packed title in the catalog, you can look toward Hi-Fi Rush, while the cozy category includes Stardew Valley, for example.

Grim Fandango Remastered Is Free On Xbox Game Pass

The Game Can Be Played On Consoles, PC, & Cloud

Aside from specific genres, the service also has a load of memorable titles. One of them is Grim Fandango Remastered, which can be played on Xbox Game Pass without any extra fees aside from the subscription itself. The remastered title, developed by Double Fine, can be played on Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, PC, and cloud gaming.

The game’s original version was directed by Tim Schafer (founder of Double Fine and designer for titles like Psychonauts and Brutal Legend) and released in 1998. Grim Fandango Remastered joined the Xbox Game Pass catalog in 2020 and has been available since then. However, given how unexpected some game removals are, I’d recommend playing it as soon as possible.

Grim Fandango Is “Golden Page In Gaming History”

The Adventure Game Is Considered One Of The Best Ever Made

A masterpiece on Xbox Game Pass, Grim Fandango Remastered is the enhanced version of the original game, now adapted for modern platforms. According to Atomix’s review of the remaster, this is “the best version of a golden page in gaming history.The outlet also mentions that everyone should play the game created by Tim Schafer.

The adventure game follows the story of Manny Cavalera. Manny is tasked with guiding Meche Colomar through the Land of the Dead. The goal is to get through the game’s various stages by solving puzzles, talking to NPCs, and investigating your surroundings.

The original Grim Fandango was well received, with many claiming that it is one of the best games ever made. There are a few criticisms directed at the remastered version, citing that the technical quality is questionable and that it hasn’t aged too well since its original release. Even so, you can play Grim Fandango’s “best version” for free on Xbox Game Pass.
