Best Xbox Game Pass games to play this weekend (March 6-8 2026)

While March is off to a strong start for new games already, with Pokémon Pokopia, Slay the Spire 2, and Marathon all releasing this past week, none of those are on Xbox Game Pass. Neither is February’s Resident Evil Requiem, one of the year’s best games so far (and one that might end up in the GOTY conversation by year’s end). But you know what is on Game Pass? A bounty of excellent games well worth checking out.
