Game Pass Game(s) of the Week — Forza Horizon 6 & Luna Abyss
This week we have two games because Forza Horizon 6 is an absolute must-play right now, but Luna Abyss also has me extremely curious. They could not be more different from each other, yet both feel like perfect examples of the kind of variety that keeps me constantly checking what is hitting Game Pass next.
Forza Horizon 6 immediately reminds you why the Horizon series became such a massive deal in the first place. The Japan setting absolutely carries the game’s vibe, whether you are drifting through neon-lit city streets at night or flying down mountain roads while the soundtrack kicks in. Playground Games somehow keeps making these worlds feel relaxing and chaotic at the same time. It is the kind of game where you log in planning to race for 20 minutes and suddenly realize three hours disappeared. On the ASUS ROG Xbox Ally X, it honestly feels incredible as a handheld experience. Horizon has always been easy to jump into, but Horizon 6 especially nails that “one more race” feeling better than almost anything else out right now.
Then there is Luna Abyss, which feels like it is landing at exactly the right time. If you have been looking at games like Saros and wishing Xbox had more of that intense sci-fi bullet hell energy in its lineup, this feels like it could scratch that itch. The atmosphere already looks heavy and unsettling in a good way, while the fast movement and nonstop enemy pressure give it that addictive rhythm fans of the genre love. It has the vibe of a game that could quietly build a cult following once people get their hands on it through Game Pass.
Forza Horizon 6 is available now on Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass, while Luna Abyss arrives May 21 on Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass. Whether you want to relax behind the wheel for hours or survive a screen full of chaos, this week feels stacked.
