3 Can’t-Miss Game Pass Picks for Sept. 19–21 — Play Them Before Hades 2 Steals Your Weekend
Fall’s release schedule keeps filling up, and this weekend (Sept. 19–21, 2025) is a great time to try three solid games on Game Pass before Hades 2 takes over everyone’s free time. Hades 2 is leaving early access next week and will also launch on Nintendo Switch, and the original Hades recently returned to the service for its five-year anniversary. Meanwhile, these three picks — a single-player adventure, a social multiplayer, and a tense horror title — are all available on Game Pass right now.
Indiana Jones and the Great Circle
Indiana Jones and the Great Circle is a first-person puzzle sandbox that emphasizes stealth, exploration, and methodical problem-solving. Rather than straightforward action, the game focuses on open-ended levels where players piece together mysteries and plan their approaches, with design comparisons often made to titles like Dishonored or Hitman.
Additionally, the game features a notable performance by Troy Baker, whose Harrison Ford impression drew public attention; Ford himself praised the portrayal while on stage, as reported by Kotaku. The base game is on Game Pass, though a recent expansion is sold separately.
Golf With Your Friends
Golf With Your Friends is a mini-golf party game that supports up to 12 players and is built for casual, chaotic multiplayer sessions. Courses often include physics-based obstacles and interactive elements, which makes matches equal parts relaxed hangout and unpredictable fun.
Consequently, it’s a good choice for groups looking for an easy-to-join game night pick. Because matches are short and flexible, the title works well alongside other social games in a multiplayer rotation.
Dead Space (2023 remake)

The Dead Space remake from 2023 is available on Game Pass through EA Play for Game Pass Ultimate members. The game follows engineer Isaac Clarke aboard a derelict spaceship overrun by hostile, reanimated creatures; gameplay blends combat, strategic dismemberment, exploration, and mission-based side content.
Moreover, Dead Space mixes horror with backtracking and environmental storytelling, encouraging thorough exploration while delivering tense, atmospheric encounters. Many players note the game’s intensity, so taking breaks during long sessions is common.
