Listed below are numerous PC Game Pass titles that will give your Gamerscore a healthy boost. Some of these have achievement lists that are shared with the console version of the game, and others have their own exclusive Windows achievement list, so if you're an Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscriber, you'll be able to play through some of these titles twice and earn 2,000G!

Games with a separate Windows achievement list have been marked with the 'Windows' tag in their heading.

If you're looking for quick and easy games for the console version of Game Pass, give our Game Pass easy achievements article a read.

0.5-1 hour

My Friend Peppa Pig

If you can withstand an hour of Peppa Pig staring into your soul and her grating voice, you can earn yourself a nice quick and easy 1,000G with My Friend Peppa Pig. The adventure game has just 11 achievements that can easily be unlocked by using some of the achievement guides found here. My Friend Peppa Pig does not have a separate Windows achievement list, so you can only complete this one once, which is a good thing.

1-2 hours

Venba

Puzzle game Venba is next up on our list of PC Game Pass quick completions. Unlocking all 15 achievements here should only take you around an hour as they're all pretty simple, and thanks to a handy chapter select, you'll easily be able to go back and mop up any achievements that you miss. To ensure that you don't miss any, give our Venba walkthrough (written by Cosm1c Joker) a look over.

Escape Academy

First things first, if you want to complete Escape Academy in just a couple of hours, you're going to have to use our excellent Escape Academy walkthrough (written by ManicMetalhead), which gives solutions to each of the game's puzzles, and you're going to need either a co-op partner or a second controller/input. If you're willing to just blitz through the game for its Gamerscore, following the walkthrough will help you unlock all 27 Escape Academy achievements in under two hours.

Maquette

While Maquette does have some high-ratio achievements, a completion here is pretty simple if you follow a guide. Estimates suggest that with a guide, you'll be able to blaze through the puzzle game in under two hours (perhaps quicker if you're really speedy), though you will be spoiling the game for yourself somewhat. The list here is relatively simple, but the speed-run achievements could prove a challenge — thankfully, we have some excellent guides on TA that will help with those.

Gang Beasts

Now, when compared to other games on this list, Gang Beasts does have a fairly high TA ratio, but as estimates suggest, it should only take you a couple of hours to unlock all 19 of its achievements. As per TheOnlyMatto's superb Gang Beasts achievement walkthrough, you should be able to complete the party game in that time frame with the help of two controllers. Sure, the controls are a little finicky, and they will take some getting used to, but once you've got them mastered, you should have no trouble nabbing that 1,000G. Gang Beasts is an Xbox Play Anywhere title, which means it shares an achievement list between the console and PC versions of the game.

Unpacking

A quick completion doesn't get much more simple than Unpacking. Thanks to an accessibility setting that allows you to unpack items wherever you want, unlocking all 25 of the game's achievements will take you less than two hours. For more on this, give Rossco7530's superb Unpacking walkthrough a read. Be careful not to miss the puzzle game's subtle narrative, though — it's pretty sweet. Unpacking has just one achievement list, so no stacks here, unfortunately!

Doom 64

Doom 64 can be completed in under two hours, thanks to its password screen. The remastered first-person shooter's ten achievements are a breeze to unlock thanks to PangoBara's superb Doom 64 walkthrough, which details what passwords you need to use and when. Unfortunately, Doom 64 is a Play Anywhere title, meaning it has just one achievement list shared between console and PC.

2-3 hours

Full Throttle Remastered

Full Throttle Remastered is one of Double Fine's finest games. According to estimates, the point-and-click adventure's 40-strong achievement list will take between two and three hours to unlock. The game has a litany of missable achievements that you'll need to keep an eye out for during your playthrough, so be sure to check out some of the individual achievement guides we have before starting your playthrough. If you want to make it really easy on yourself, you can play while following DarkR Phantom's Full Throttle Remastered walkthrough. Full Throttle Remastered is an Xbox Play Anywhere title and shares an achievement list between console and PC.

Day of the Tentacle Remastered

Sticking with Double Fine, we have Day of the Tentacle Remastered, which is a simple point-and-click adventure game that has 58 achievements worth a total of 1,000 Gamerscore. According to estimates, unlocking all 58 achievements will take between two and three hours to complete if you're following our Day of the Tentacle walkthrough. The game's achievement list is littered with missable achievements, so we highly recommend you follow the walkthrough written by TA user Chad and Jessie. Once again, Day of the Tentacle is an Xbox Play Anywhere title, meaning it does not have a separate, stackable achievement list on PC.

3-4 hours

Dordogne

To unlock all 31 achievements in the narrative adventure game Dordogne, you'll need to set aside around four hours of your time. While some achievements are awarded from the main story, there are a fair few cumulative and collectible achievements you'll need to keep an eye on — check out some of our individual achievement guides for more on these. Thankfully, a chapter select was recently added to Dordogne, so if you do miss an achievement, you can easily go back and grab it.

Frog Detective: The Entire Mystery

The wonderful Frog Detective: The Entire Mystery features 18 achievements that can all be unlocked in under four hours. While a fair few are awarded for completing various story beats, there are numerous miscellaneous achievements and missables you'll need to contend with. Thankfully, by using some of the individual achievement guides here on TA, these won't be an issue. Frog Detective: The Entire Mystery is currently only available on PC Game Pass and not the console version of the service.

Inside

Not only is Inside an excellent puzzle platformer, but it's also a quick and easy completion. Inside has 14 achievements that can all be unlocked in under four hours, though you may need a helping hand from our Inside walkthrough (written by Unrehearsed) as every single achievement has been flagged as collectible. There is no achievement stack here either, I'm afraid, so if you've already completed it on console, you can't earn yourself another 1,000G.

Paw Patrol: Mighty Pups Save Adventure Bay

Our next children's game is Paw Patrol: Mighty Pups Save Adventure Bay, which has 30 achievements that can be unlocked in under four hours. While most of the list is pretty straightforward, there are numerous collectibles you'll need to pick up along the way. The Pup Treat Master achievement requires you to find all the Pup Treats hidden in the game. Just so you know, there are a whopping 7,250 treats you'll need to collect. Again, no stackable list here, I'm afraid.

4-5 hours

Cocoon

If you've got about five hours to spare and want an excellent quick completion to play, you'll want to check out Annapurna Interactive's Cocoon. A completion here is pretty straightforward, though you will need to be on the lookout for some pesky collectibles during your playthrough. If you do miss any, though, there is a chapter select, so you can easily go back and seek them out. If you are struggling with this one, be sure to give some of the excellent individual achievement guides we have a read.

A Short Hike

The charming little adventure game A Short Hike has an equally charming achievement list. A completion here should only take you five hours, and while all the achievements are easy to unlock, you may want to check out some of the individual achievement guides we have for a little more explanation. You'll also have a fair few collectibles to uncover in your time with A Short Hike, so keep those eyes peeled!

Firewatch

If you're in the mood for spending some time in the great outdoors but don't actually want to go outside, then Firewatch is the game for you. This quick completion has ten simple achievements that you should be able to unlock in five hours. Completing the story will give you half of the Gamerscore on offer here, but to unlock the rest, you'll need to complete a few random tasks — check out the Firewatch walkthrough for more on that. Sadly, no achievement stack here. If you've already unlocked all the achievements on console, you can't unlock them again on PC.

Ravenlok

Ravenlok's dark fairytale world is where we're adventuring to next. Unlocking all of the game's 50 achievements is a relatively stress-free experience that should only take you about four hours or so. There is one missable achievement, which is very simple to unlock, and a bunch of collectible achievements that you can mop up at the end. For more on these, check out our Ravenlok walkthrough.

Somerville

Sci-fi narrative adventure Somerville is a quick completion that also offers an intriguing Inside-like sci-fi story. The adventure game has 11 achievements that can all be unlocked in under five hours, and while the achievement descriptions are pretty opaque, they are all really simple, especially if you're playing while following some of our individual achievement guides.

5-6 hours

Scorn

While Scorn may look like a difficult completion with its opaque achievement descriptions, it's pretty easy. Using some of the individual achievement guides we have on TA, you should be able to breeze through Scorn's 12 achievements in under six hours. Most are unlocked by simply playing through the game, but there are a few achievements flagged as missable that you'll need to be wary of. Unfortunately, the PC version of the game does share an achievement list with the console version, so there is no stack here!

6-8 hours

Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice (Windows)

Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice is one of the highest-rated games on this list according to its 4.17/5 rating here on TA. The action-adventure game has 14 achievements worth a total of 1,000 Gamerscore and can be completed in around six to eight hours. The Stories From the North achievement is the hardest one on the list. It involves collecting 44 Lorestones that are hidden throughout the game. We have a great Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice Walkthrough written by Kylko that details where to find all of the Lorestones and how to grab every achievement from the game.

Toem

According to estimates, Toem will take between six and eight hours to unlock all 48 of its achievements, but if you're quick, you can probably polish this one off in about five hours. The Toem achievement list is very simple stuff and pretty self-explanatory, but if you do find yourself at a loss, make sure you check out some of the individual achievement guides on TA, as they'll be able to point you in the right direction.

The Gunk

To unlock all 17 of The Gunk 's achievements and earn yourself another 1,000G, make sure you set aside around six hours. Most of the list is relatively easy, but there are a couple of achievements that can be a bit tricky. Both Space Archaeologists and All In are missable and require either a fair bit of resource gathering or the scanning of flora and fauna. If you want to know more about these two, check out the individual achievement guides we have. Sadly, unlike Hellblade above, there is no stackable achievement list here.

Soma

While estimates suggest you'll need around eight hours to complete Soma, you can breeze through its achievement list using the game's Safe mode and our Soma walkthrough (thanks, Wyyvern). The mean monsters in Soma won't chase you with Safe mode on, which means you can merrily make your way through the first-person sci-fi horror game without a care in the world.
