Xbox Game Pass is finally getting 2024’s best JRPG

Xbox Game Pass is adding yet another show-stopping role-playing game to its catalog with Metaphor: ReFantazio, arriving on the service on May 29. The game joins heavy hitters Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered and Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 alongside charming experiences like Eiyuden Chronicles: Hundred Heroes and Avowed. Game Pass has an RPG for everyone.

Metaphor: ReFantazio is a beautifully bizarre JRPG from Atlus, the creators of Shin Megami Tensei and Persona, that puts the player in control of a young warrior on a quest to enact revenge on a tyrannical general for assassinating the king.

The strange new adventure was critically acclaimed upon release, securing many best game of the year nods and even slaying a gargantuan like Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth for Best RPG at the 2024 Game Awards. Additionally, Metaphor snagged wins for best narrative and art direction at the annual commemoration.
