Octopath Traveler
Available now.
Microsoft brought this Japanese roleplaying game back to Game Pass Ultimate, so if you weren’t able to play it before, now’s your chance. This JRPG is set in a land called Orsterra, and you follow eight different characters — hence the name Octopath — as they journey through the land.

Octopath Traveler 2
Available now.
…the second title in this series, which introduces a new world, called Solistia, and eight new characters with distinct stories. Solistia is a more modern setting, similar to the late 19th or early 20th century, compared with the medieval setting of Orsterra in the original. But the sequel matches the original’s vast open world filled with quests, unique characters and mystery.
