One of the great things about awards is that they give more exposure to projects you may have missed. At that point, the full list of nominees for The Game Awards 2022 was revealed earlier this week and included a number of games big and small. Of course, then, you might want to check out some of them.
Luckily, some of them are actually available on Xbox Game Pass, making them easier and more accessible to try out on Xbox consoles, PC, and mobile devices.

Xbox Game Pass for console and PC costs R $ 29 per month each. Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, which includes both, as well as Xbox Cloud Gaming (mobile streaming), EA Play, and Xbox Live Gold is also a good pick to take advantage of on this list.
