3 new Xbox Game Pass games to play this weekend (May 9-11)
Table of Contents Revenge of the Savage Planet Dredge Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2
We are all on the edge of our seats just waiting for Doom: The Dark Ages to unlock on our PCs and consoles, but Game Pass is the gift that keeps on giving. We're barely even a week into the month and we already have a slate of new additions to the service, including a day one title. Whether you're just trying to pass the time this weekend as fast as possible before Doom, or have no interest in that gory shooter and are looking for something a bit different to play before your next upcoming Xbox Series X game comes out, we won't leave you hanging. These are the 3 best new Xbox Game Pass games we know you will love playing this weekend.
Revenge of the Savage Planet
Just like with its first game, developer Raccoon Logic (formerly known as Typhoon Studios) takes aim at the absurdity and heartless nature of modern corporations and their incompetency with Revenge of the Savage Planet. As a game, this entry opens things up as an open world adventure with crafting and lite Metroidvania elements as you unlock new pieces of equipment. From the jump, this game proudly presents its world as a parody, with your main character waking from a cryopod and watching an orientation video immediately followed by a video laying you off. Similar to High on Life, the gameplay is merely okay here, but it is the world and humor that will win you over.

Revenge of the Savage Planet is available now on PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, and PC.
Dredge
We can't say we ever imagined a horror game based on fishing, unless we played as the fish, perhaps. Dredge sets you on the dark and dangerous waters off the town of Greater Marrow. Using your dingy little fishing boat, you will go out fishing and salvaging items by completing a little minigame. However, as you venture further out to sea and stay out after dark, panic will rise, you will begin to hallucinate, and monsters from deep below will come to the surface. By trading in your hauls, you can upgrade your boat to go further and stay out longer to catch more deadly game. Besides being a mechanically addicting game despite the stress, there is also a lovely little horror tale to follow.
Dredge is available now on PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, Mobile, and PC.
Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2
Dragon Ball fans, it is time to break out your OC and bring them to life. Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 is the ultimate fanfiction Dragon Ball game where your unique character travels through time to help make sure the events of the story occur as they are supposed to. This includes inserting yourself in all the key battles of the show, from Goku's fight with Radditz through the entire Z saga, but even non-canonical and new story moments that will be a blast for fans who have theorycrafted how hypothetical battles would play out. The gameplay is easy enough to get into as a 3D arena fighter, but has multiple hub areas to explore, NPCs to talk to, almost endless amounts of quests, and a huge multiplayer community that is still going strong.
Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 is available now on PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, Switch, and PC.

MLB logo patch from Clayton Kershaw's 3,000th strikeout jersey to be put into a baseball card
Clayton Kershaw became just the 20th pitcher in Major League history to reach 3,000 career strikeouts on Wednesday night, and on Thursday Topps announced that the MLB logo patch from the back of the jersey he wore as he did it will be going into a one-of-a-kind baseball card. The card is part of the Topps Dynasty Black brand, which began with cards bearing memorabilia from the game where Shohei Ohtani hit his 50th home run and stole his 50th base last season to become the first member of the 50/50 club. The Kershaw MLB logo patch card will be autographed and a redemption card for it will be sent in a randomly selected order of the print-to-order Topps Now card made to commemorate Kershaw's 3,000th strikeout. BREAKING: The game-worn MLB Logoman from Clayton Kershaw's 3,000th strikeout is going into a 1/1 Dynasty Black trading card. One lucky collector who buys the Topps Now base card will receive this 1/1 card with their order. — Topps (@Topps) July 3, 2025 League logo patches are arguably the piece of memorabilia put into cards that is most coveted by collectors. NBA, NFL, and MLB cards bearing these patches have sold for millions, including the Topps Dynasty Black card with the MLB logo patch from Ohtani's 50/50 game-used pants that sold at auction for $1,067,500 in March. That was nearly double the second most expensive Ohtani card ever. Ohtani's first million dollar card! Last night the 2024 Topps Shohei Ohtani Black Dynasty '50/50' Relic 1/1 sold for $1,067,500, a record price for any Ohtani card — Heritage Auctions Sports (@Heritage_Sport) March 30, 2025 Although this will only be the fourth Topps Dynasty Black card made to date (the previous three all included pieces of Ohtani's pants and batting gloves from the 50/50 game), the series has already established itself as the most exclusive in the sports card industry, since each card includes pieces of hall-of-fame-worthy items from historic milestone events. Advertisement Kershaw's most expensive publicly sold card to date was his 2006 Bowman Chrome Draft Picks Autographs Red Refractor (of which only five were made) with a BGS Pristine 10 card grade and 10 autograph grade, which went for $123,221.22 at auction in November of last year. This Topps Dynasty Black card is almost certain to sell for multiples of that if it reaches the secondary market. The Athletic maintains full editorial independence in all our coverage.
