He's played games all his life and turned that passionate hobby into a passionate career, in an industry where he's worked as a writer, editor, analyst, and more. Xbox Game Pass has a remarkable 10/10 Square Enix RPG available to play entirely for free in the library, and you should not overlook it in the slightest. The genre is one of the most popular ones in the industry, and Microsoft’s subscription service has plenty of options within those parameters that can please fans. Right now, for example, you can check out a 10/10 Xbox 360 fantasy RPG masterpiece for free on Xbox Game Pass, and perhaps get ready for the franchise’s upcoming release in early 2027. The catalog is also constantly changing, so impressive new additions are frequently being made available to members. For instance, in June, Persona 5 Royal joined Xbox Game Pass, instantly establishing itself as one of the best RPGs and games in the catalog. However, there are still many players who think of Square Enix when they think about RPGs, and these titles are commonly paid for. However, on Game Pass, you can check out a 10/10 RPG created by Square entirely for free. One Of The Best Final Fantasy Games Is Free On Xbox Game Pass Available since June, Final Fantasy 6 is free on Xbox Game Pass. The Square Enix RPG can be played entirely with a Premium, Ultimate, or PC Game Pass membership – though the Essential tier does not have access to the title for free. The iconic FF6 can be enjoyed on Xbox Series X/S, PC, and via cloud gaming through the subscription service. The game was added only two months ago, but I’d recommend playing it as soon as possible. While Final Fantasy 7 is a lot more popular, to many fans of the franchise, Final Fantasy 6 is the best entry in the series, across all aspects. Its story is impeccable, its roster of characters is unforgettable, its villain is remarkable, and its gameplay systems are pristine. On top of that, it’s the last game in the franchise’s pixel era, before moving to 3D renders with FF7. It’s a work of art and a masterclass in how JRPGs should feel, overall. You Can Check Out All Pixel Final Fantasy Core Games For Free This 10/10 RPG on Xbox Game Pass is but one of the many Final Fantasy games available for free on the service. In January, Microsoft started adding the core titles from the series to the catalog, so you can currently play the original Final Fantasy, Final Fantasy 2, Final Fantasy 3, Final Fantasy 4, Final Fantasy 5, and Final Fantasy 6. Both Final Fantasy 4 and FF6 are considered the best among the pixel ones, though FF6 is a bit more memorable. If you’re a fan of the genre and haven’t checked it out, this may be your best opportunity to do so, especially considering it’s free via the service. Final Fantasy 6 is truly a 10/10 masterpiece, and while FF9 is my favorite single-player entry in the series, this free RPG on Xbox Game Pass comes in a close second.
