Top 5 Japanese Xbox Game Pass Games
Dragon Quest XI: Echoes of an Elusive Age

With a huge world, thousands of mysteries and a great story, Dragon Quest XI S will give you more than 100 hours of gameplay which will feel very short when you reach the end. Luckily, the game doesn’t end when we see the credits, as there are many secret bosses that appear at the end of the game.
Ninja Gaiden 3: Razor’s Edge
As part of the Master Collection, Ninja Gaiden 3 returns, making a place for itself in the Xbox Game Pass catalog. Developed by the incredible Team Ninja, it offers an extreme “challenge”, as well as an equally extreme “feeling of achievement”. In addition to “Ryu Hayabusa”, the main character, the ninjas “Ayane”, “Kasumi”, and “Momiji” also appear as playable characters. The title gives us exciting battles where you won’t be able to let your guard down, as well as great character customization.
Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc
Hope’s Peak Academy is home to Japan’s best and brightest high school students, the beacons of hope for the future. But that hope suddenly dies when Makoto Naegi and his classmates find themselves imprisoned in the school, cut off from the outside world and subject to the whims of a strange and murderous little bear named Monokuma. He pits the students against each other, promising freedom to anyone who can murder a classmate and get away with it. It’s up to you to find out who Monokuma really is and why you’ve been taken from the world you once knew. But be careful what you wish for, sometimes there is nothing more deadly than the truth…
Yakuza: Like a Dragon
The seventh installment of the Yakuza saga, comes completely renewing the shape of the franchise. Going from a beat’em up to a JRPG, Yakuza: Like a Dragon is one of the best JRPGs of recent times. On this occasion, our protagonist will be Ichiban Kasuga, a man who has sworn allegiance to the Arakawa family, a group of Yakuzas from Kamurocho. At the beginning of the story we see how this family has conflicts with another, and as a result of this we will end up in jail instead of the son of our boss. We will go out 20 years later and we will discover that nothing is like before and the boss Arakawa is now part of the family that were our rivals before.
dragon ball fighter z
Dragon Ball FighterZ has a similar visual style to the BlazBlue fighting games, this is mainly due to the fact that they are developed by the same studio, but with notable differences. Every block of FighterZ’s fights looks like it’s straight out of the anime series. The best thing about the title is that it is not only limited to introducing a large number of characters from this series, but also the combat mechanics are as complex as any other competitive fighting game. One of the best 2D fighting games currently available on Xbox Game Pass.
