5 Short XGP Games Including Superliminal Have Been Listed

---

ScreenRant has highlighted five XGP games that can each be finished in under 10 hours, aimed at subscribers who want a complete game without taking on another long campaign. The list spans Superliminal, Firewatch, INSIDE from Playdead, Resident Evil 3 Remake, and Donut County, with completion times ranging from about 2 hours to 6 to 7 hours.

Superliminal is not just on the list because it is short. It is a puzzle game built around visual illusion, space, and perspective, asking players to solve rooms by rethinking distance, scale, and position. The average run takes about 2 to 4 hours, but that length works in its favor. Each room feels like a small self-contained space where the basic rules of navigation have to be relearned.

It also helps that Superliminal is currently available across XGP Essential, Premium, and Ultimate. For subscribers, that makes it one of the list's more practical picks. It suits players who do not want to be pulled along by quest logs, but still enjoy pushing against a consistent ruleset.

Firewatch is a different kind of short game. It is a narrative-driven exploration game that runs about 4 to 5 hours, casting the player as Henry, a fire lookout stationed in the forest and speaking with Delilah over the radio. Its exploration is not about checking icons off a map. It is about following trails, towers, ridgelines, and conversations until the relationship between Henry, Delilah, and the place comes into focus.

That focus also defines its limits. Players hoping to climb every distant ridge may notice the game's boundaries now and then, but the atmosphere and route design are clear enough that finishing it feels like seeing a focused story through rather than leaving a larger game unfinished. Firewatch is also available through XGP Essential, Premium, and Ultimate.

INSIDE, from Playdead, takes the short-form idea somewhere harsher. As the spiritual successor to Limbo, it pushes a cold, oppressive mood through factories, shadows, and platform puzzles. It does not offer the freedom of branching exploration, but it makes each step forward feel controlled and tense.

For players who want a complete, tightly controlled experience in one evening, INSIDE remains one of the most efficient picks here. It is currently included in XGP Essential, Premium, and Ultimate.

Resident Evil 3 Remake is the longest game on this list, though still brief by Game Pass standards. ScreenRant describes it as a tightly paced horror action game, and the average completion time sits around 6 to 7 hours. It is currently available through XGP Premium and Ultimate.

Compared with Resident Evil 2 Remake, it feels more like a condensed escape through the city. The pace is brisk, and there is less room to double back and linger over sandbox details. Players who prefer broader survival-horror spaces may find it too narrow, but for anyone who wants to get through a horror-action campaign in one sitting or two, the length is part of the appeal.

The shortest recommendation is Donut County, a relaxed puzzle game with a run time of about 2 hours. Its central idea is simple: the player controls an ever-expanding hole that swallows objects in the environment. The feedback is immediate, the tone is light, and the appeal comes from watching a small community map disappear piece by piece, from signs to buildings.

Donut County is currently included in XGP Premium and Ultimate. As a recommendation, it makes the most sense as a short reset between larger RPGs, open-world games, or anything that asks for dozens of hours.

ScreenRant's broader point is that XGP's value is not limited to long games. Its catalog has plenty of large, hours-heavy releases, but it also hides strong games that can be cleared in a few hours. These five all fit under the 10-hour mark, and each offers a complete arc rather than a chopped-down sample of something bigger.

For subscribers, the practical advice is simple. If you treat XGP as a long-term pass, Superliminal, Firewatch, INSIDE, Resident Evil 3 Remake, and Donut County are easy games to fit between bigger games. If you are subscribing for only one short game, check the tier first: Superliminal, Firewatch, and INSIDE are in Essential, Premium, and Ultimate, while Resident Evil 3 Remake and Donut County are in Premium and Ultimate.
