The Xbox Game Pass has a lot of games to offer the designation simulation.
The term simulation is a very vager with regard to computer and video games, because he actually spans several genres. Racing games can be simulations, there are economic simulations, sports games simulate real sports and then the whole professional simulations are added. All these are completely different games. We do not want to be too small with our best-of-articles to the Xbox Game Pass. Therefore, this list of the best simulations that you can play about the subscription service from Microsoft is a very colorful field. But Hey, colorful fields are a nice thing.
Elite Dangerous
- Platforms: Console, Cloud
Some maybe one will say, "Hey, did not you have listed Elite Dangerous with the best action games?" Well, yes, theoretically perhaps, because one of the core elements of space play are fighting. But we are honest: Elite Dangerous is not a real action game. For this, the pace is too low and the mechanics too complex. In addition, you can also play it theoretically, without (off the tutorial) ever to fight.
Elite Dangerous is a very classic space simulation - a sandbox in which she chooses freely, which career path you want to crimping. You can bring a dealer to bring a smuggle, a pirate, a mercenary or tourists from A to B. Ultimately, it is just about making money so that you can buy better ships and upgrade you. That takes a lot of time and patience and is a long grind. But if you stand on spaceships and science fiction, this grind can make a lot of fun. Note on the edge: The most recent extension "Odyssey" is not part of the Game Pass version, but the ever has become very good, which is not so much missing.
F1 2019
- Platforms: PC, Console, Cloud
Too bad that we can not recommend you F1 2021 at this point or at least its direct predecessor. In the Xbox Game Pass is found only the part of 2019, but if you are a subscriber and does not play one of the two successors anyway, then there is no reason to try F1 2019 - unless you like no racing games, but then You jump directly to the next game anyway.
F1 2019 is still a fantastic formula 1 season. For the first time in serial history, Story content has been offered, but limiting itself to the first hour of the career mode. But the power is really fun, because the races are exciting against the Ki, which is driving physics 1a and the progression is extremely motivated with the upgrade of its own racing pin. There is a rich range of multiplayer modes and lots of F1 atmosphere.
Football Manager 2021
- Platforms: PC, console
The Football Manager is the best thing you can play as a football fan, if you are more interested in the management aspect and less on the lawn. She slips into the skin of a coach and leads your electoral association to fame and honor. Optically, everything may be very simple. The 3D games look like football matches from 20 years ago and the menus have the charm of Excel spreadsheets. But behind the ugly packaging is a great simulation of the football world with a huge database and numerous ways to set your team tactical and exercise.
On the PC you have the choice between the normal Football Manager 2021 and its Xbox Edition, which is a little slimmed and but also more beginner. On the consoles, the default version does not exist, which is not designed on the operation via Gamepad anyway. Console players still do not have to fear to be saved with a simplified modification. Also on the Xbox devices, the Football Manager 2021 is a complex game for which you need to take time when you want to play seriously. But you can also have a lot of time having fun - hundreds, if not thousands of hours.
Forza Horizon 4
- Platforms: PC, Console, Cloud
If you hear the word simulation, you will probably think of the motorsport as the Horizon series in terms of Forza. And yes, of course there is also Forza Motorsport 7 in the Xbox Game Pass, which is definitely a realistic racing game than Forza Horizon 4. But do you know what? The latter is just much better. And in this text we are not about realism, but quality.
Forza Horizon 4 is a fantastic open-world racing game, which is not too much in the arcade direction. The cars are just as cars and not like soap crates and that power damn a lot of fun. For this purpose, the fleet is huge and varied. You can boast with fast sports sparkles over the streets, but even behind the wheel of family loops or thick trucks. Furthermore, the game world is beautifully designed and you have a lot to do. And every week there is another season, so that you are on the road with the best of sunshine and sometimes through a snow landscape. Oh yes, really pretty Forza Horizon 4 is still.
Golf With Your Friends
- Platforms: PC, Console, Cloud
Who of us did not already sit on a mini golf course and charged balls? It does not really like to be cool, but fun definitely makes it. They have also recognized video game developers who have been coming to us for ages with mini golf. One of the most well-known titles of the younger past is Golf With Your Friends. That was for some time in the Early Access and has been enthusiastic about many players. Since 2020 it has been officially published and now also included in the Xbox Game Pass.
In Golf With Your Friends, the name program is. Up to twelve players can compete against each other. The game comes with a wide selection of courses therefore, all of which are assigned to specific topics, for example dinosaurs. And because Team17 is the Publisher, there is also a Worms course. For a theoretically endless replenishment at levels, there is a built-in editor and various power-ups provide some something. You can annoy your opponent by leaving a trace of sticky honey with your ball, in which the competition remains.
Agricultural Simulator 19
- Platforms: PC, Console, Cloud
There are not many professional simulations in the Xbox Game Pass, but the most famous and most successful is represented: The Agricultural Simulator 19 is the ultimate farm game. Ok, Stardev Valley is great, but more RPG as a simulation. On the other hand, the title of the Swiss Studio Giants Software is fully focused on realism. If you order a field here, this takes for a while. Can you imagine to have fun with a tractor to plow the field or pull your railroads with a combine harvester, the Agricultural Simulator 19 is just right for you.
The game is also just a good economic simulation. You do not only have your virtual courtyard for fun, but tries to earn plenty of money to buy you better and to build your farm. Gradually, more and more species of animals keep their way with you. In Agriculture Simulator 19, there are porks, chickens and for the first time also horses, on whose back you can ride through the idyllic landscape. And if you do not want to play alone, that's no problem: In multiplayer, you manage your yard together with up to 15 other players.
Microsoft Flight Simulator
- Platforms: PC, console
Anyone who thinks of Microsoft and simulations and does not have the Microsoft Flight Simulator in mind, we would like to ask, "How can that be?!" 2020, the series has finally returned to long abstinence. And this time, the makers really did not let lumps. Where the ground in old parts has always been a simple 2D texture, the current part forms the complete earth ball in scale 1: 1 in 3D - including road traffic and wildlife. So that this does not completely power all your hard drive, the cloud helps neatly.
Technically, the Microsoft Flight Simulator is insane impressive, especially as the different machines look really good - both from the outside and inside. There is a very sophisticated simulation. Without all the airports you have to be a trained pilot if you want to bring large-capacity aircraft safely from A to B within a short time. For beginners, there are also a lot of options to simplify flight physics. There is then no special peripherals necessary, but you can also access the Xbox controller without concerns. That the Microsoft Flight Simulator with a Yoke system is more fun, is still out of question.
skate 3
- Platforms: Console (only with Xbox Game Pass Ultimate)
We do not shy away to recommend you just pretty old stuff at this point. If you feel like skateboarding action, Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1 + 2 is too arcadig (which is not included in the Game Pass anyway), then barely leads a way past the skate series. The problem is merely that Publisher EA has not published a new part for eleven years. Skate 4 is now in progress, but will have a while to wait for a while. Fortunately, the predecessor for Game pass subscribers is playable. It is less pleasing that this is only for the consoles (never a skate has been released for the PC) and you mandatory the Xbox Game Pass Ultimate needs because Skate 3 is an EA play title.
The game may be visually rotted. It stopped for the PS3 and Xbox 360 and we are now two console generations. Skate 3 but still looks ok and in terms of content, it is still strong. You are an open game world available, in which you can skate to your heart's content. The campaign offers a variety of challenges and in their course you will switch more and more clothes for your character as well as construction options for the Skate Park Editor.
Snowrunner
- Platforms: PC, Console, Cloud
No desire for racing games with fast throats? You prefer to control heavy trucks through mud or deep snow? Then we attach Snowrunner to the heart. This is a simulation in which it is your task to fulfill delivery jobs on various extensive cards. Yes, you often just have to bring things from A to B. That may sound boring, but is extremely exciting because you rarely be on fortified roads.
As a rule, you drive on field paths and have to overcome some sludge hole. Your best friend is your winch, which for example attached to trees to pull out of the dirt. Even this seems very exciting at first sight, but exercises his very own fascination. It's just extremely satisfying if you succeed for a hard fight, with a heavy truck from a mud hole to come out and continue. In addition, Snowrunner has a motivating progression system that allows you to unlock more and more cards, vehicles and upgrades, and it looks chic.
Theehunter: Call of the Wild
- Platforms: Console, Cloud
Hunting games are available in many forms. The king of the genre is clearly the company: Call of the wild. The title comes from Expansive Worlds, a developer team that belongs to Avalanche (Just Cause, Rage 2). He offers a beautiful graphic, large, very authentic maps and a lot of species that makes your hunt. The whole thing is not an action game, in which you have seen in the past deer, wild boars and bears, but a true hunting simulation.
Most of the time you are not busy with ballers, but the search and hiking through the beautiful environments. Ideally, you always have your hunting destinations with a well-targeted shot. The less the animals suffer, the more points you receive. So you get up in the level, earns money and turns more and more things free: new skills and perks as well as weapons and other equipment. This motivates theehunter: Call of the game very long. It is a lot of fun to go hunting together with friends.
