The Best Play Pass Games On Android – Updated!

As far as video game subscription services go, we’re quite a fan of Google Play Pass. That’s not just because we’re Droid Gamers, but because the best Play Pass games are fantastic!

If you’ve just got Google Play Pass and you want the best experience possible, you need to try the best Play Pass games. Of course, with the Play Store, it can be hard to find the best, so we’ve collated this handy list! Check a look!

Best Play Pass Games On Android

On with the games!

Stardew Valley

As one of the best farming games ever, Stardew Valley’s mobile port is a must-play game. If you’re a fan of classic Harvest Moon then this is one of those Play Pass games you can’t miss. 

Set in an idyllic village, you’ll spend your days farming crops, exploring mines, fighting slimes and raising animals. Maybe you’ll even find love along the way. (Shane, I can make up happy! I promise!) 

It helps that Stardew Valley’s Android port is masterful. If you’re playing with touch controls or a controller, the game works perfectly. Essentially, you’re playing the full console game on your phone. Now, that’s what we Droid Gamers love. 

Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic

BioWare’s brilliant early-2000s RPG Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic received a perfect mobile port years ago. The brilliant RPG is lauded as one of the best mobile gaming has to offer. 

As it turns out, that mobile port is also one of the best Play Pass Games. A perfect port of a perfect game is the perfect Play Pass pick in our books. 

Playing as a custom Star Wars character, you’re tasked with saving the Galaxy in a brilliant story we won’t spoil here. Set 4000 years before the prequels, KOTOR shows the Star Wars universe in a new light. 

Your custom character will be given many choices along the way. Will you be a force for good? Or will you fall to the Dark Side? (And get their sweet powers in the process!) 

Dead Cells

A true gem of mobile gaming, Dead Cells is also included in Google’s fantastic subscription service. A Metroidvania rogue-lite with effortless style, there are few games better than Dead Cells. 

Dead Cells boasts brilliant action gameplay, gorgeous visuals, and a stunning soundtrack, as well as controller support. It’s an unforgettable masterpiece, the only problem is that it’s impossible to put down. 

In Dead Cells, death is not the end. Each time you die, you return to the start of a randomly generated series of dungeons. However, weapons you’ve unlocked across the way get added to your potential arsenal. 

As you learn the game and unlock new gear, you’ll become an unstoppable force of nature. Not only that, but you’ll feel like a beast as you jump, stab, and slash your way through waves of enemies. It’s a power fantasy like no other!  Right until you hit a new boss and it stomps you into the dirt in the first ten second.

REVENGE!

Terraria

You can’t have a list of best Play Pass games without including Terraria. Jokingly referred to as “2D Minecraft”, Terraria is a deep survival-crafting game that will keep you busy for months. 

Terraria started its life on PC, but this mobile version is not just a lazy port. Built from the ground up for pocket gamers, this phone port feels fantastic to play on a touch screen. However, if you need to, there’s also controller support. 

In Terraria, you’ll mine, craft, and explore a treacherous world filled with unique creatures and powerful bosses. It’s a lot more intense than Minecraft, its 3D counterpart, with eldritch foes that turn the skies red. That iconic floating eyeball is just the start of your worries.

Thimbleweed Park

Another mobile port, Thimbleweed Park is a gorgeous point-and-click adventure game from Monkey Island creators Ron Gilbert and Gary Winnick. Bringing back the classic Lucasfilm feel, this is another must-play game on mobile. 

Set in 1987, Thimbleweed Park tasks you with unfolding a mystery with 5 playable characters. Not only is there a fantastic mystery to unfold, but there’s also a joke every few minutes. 

Thimbleweed Park is a mobile conversion that fully takes advantage of touchscreens. A perfect adaptation of the PC game, this is one is the best versions you could ever play. 

Monument Valley (And Sequels)

Two of the best mobile games ever released, UsTwo Games’ Monument Valley series are undoubtedly some of the best Play Pass games around. 

A drop-dead gorgeous puzzle game, Monument Valley is a surrealist game that is absolutely breathtaking. You’ll have to guide the silent princess Ida through a series of impossible geometries. 

Both Monument Valley games are fantastic mobile experiences, games that truly take advantage of the platform. If you want to play a game that is purpose-built for phones, this is the best pick. 

Sadly Monument Valley 3 isn’t on Play Pass right now, but we can hope for the future.

Loop Hero

A novel RPG set in a world plunged into an unending time loop. It’s up to you to manipulate the world around the hero to make each loop count. It’s also got a wonderfully grim vibe and aesthetic that fans of titles like Dark Souls, Elden Ring, and Fear And Hunger will feed off.

Beholder

Time to test your judgement and ethics in the dystopian adventure game that sees you managing an apartment building, balancing the care of your tenants, with the demands by the totalitarian state to spy and report on their every move. There are no easy choices.

Final Fantasy VII

Who needs to spend huge amounts on the Rebirth trilogy when you’ve got the classic right at your fingertips? Whether you’re out to relive one of the best RPGs of its time, or you’ve never played the game before, we highly recommend it for its great worldbuilding and sprawling story. Watch out for some of the bosses.

Potion Permit

One of the more off-the-wall members of the Stardew-esque cosy games, Potion Permit sees you moving to a town as an alchemist eager to help the villagers with illness and injury. The trouble is… the village kind of hates you. Set out to prove their mistrust wrong, and don’t forget to feed your dog.

Legend Of Keepers

Experience the dungeon crawl from the other side as you take up a career in dungeon management. Make your traps are sharp, you monster staff members are happy, and your invading heroes are dead as soon as possible.

LIMBO

If you want something grim and gloomy, there’s Limbo. This is a bleak, grayscale puzzle platformer where you play a small and fragile character in a world full of things trying to kill you. If you have arachnophobia, maybe give this one a miss, though.

DREDGE

Fishing horror? It works better than you might think. DREDGE sees you trying to make ends meet with your trawler, hunting for treasure and rare fish, while also trying to handle the horrors of the deep.

Plague Inc

Okay so yes, you can play Plague Inc for free. If you’re a Play Pass user, you lose all the ads and unlock a bunch of new content, including vampire and zombie plagues. That’s a whole new world of fun. For you, anyway. Not for anyone on the simulated planet you’re raining doom on.

If you’re interested in picking up any of these games, check out Play Pass on the Google Play Store.
