We've had a few games arrive on Xbox Game Pass this week, and arguably none bigger than Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden - an action-RPG from 2024 that's proved very popular over the past couple of years.

Here at Pure Xbox, we played this one all the way back at launch in February '24, giving it a "great" 8/10 score at the time and highlighting it as a "super solid action-RPG that delivers an absorbing and emotional ghost story".

You can read that review below, and here's an excerpt from it:

"All in all, it adds up to another tasty indie surprise to add to your current pile of must-play games, and one of DON'T NOD'S most well-rounded efforts yet. A great time for fans of emotionally engaging spook stories, then, and anyone else who enjoys their action-RPGs to stick with them for a little while once the credits roll."

It's been a few days now since Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden made its Xbox Game Pass debut, so we're keen to hear what you think about it in the poll below (regardless of how much you've played up until now).

And, if you haven't got access to it via Game Pass, don't forget that Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden has a free trial for everyone on the Xbox Store, and it's also discounted by 60% as part of the ongoing Xbox Black Friday Sale 2025.
