Xbox Game Pass Titles Featuring Expansive Open Areas (Not Full Open-World)

Forthcoming Open-World/Open-Area Games Confirmed for Game Pass
Open-world games represent the pinnacle of gaming, pushing boundaries and offering immersive, expansive worlds. These games provide players with unparalleled freedom and agency, allowing them to forge their own paths within richly detailed environments. Essentially, they offer a virtual second life for players to explore.
Unsurprisingly, many top-tier games fall into this category. Xbox Game Pass subscribers have access to a vast selection of these titles. But with so many choices, which open-world adventure should you embark on next?
This list was updated January 9, 2025, by Mark Sammut, to include upcoming open-world Game Pass releases.
Ranking isn't solely based on game quality; recent Game Pass additions will initially appear higher on the list.
