Growing up sucks, huh? It feels like the older you get, the more responsibilities are placed upon you, and suddenly it becomes difficult to find time for your favourite hobby. Xbox is that hobby of course, at least for the team here at PX!

What the lack of time does do, is change how you think about your backlog. Suddenly, 100+ hour games feel out of the question (unless you’re allocating time for them), and those smaller bite-sized experiences feel much more manageable. Personally, I gravitate to sports games – partly because I love them, and partly because they’re quick.

And of course, it’s always worth jumping into a quick multiplayer session in the likes of Call of Duty: Black Ops 6!

There are some great narrative experiences on Xbox Game Pass that serve this purpose as well. Still Wakes The Deep, The Walking Dead, Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice – short and sweet games that you can hack away at in quick bursts.

Realistically, there are thousands of titles that you could pick for this purpose, so we’ll stop waffling – we just want to hear what you personally pick when you’re low on time. Are there any Xbox games that specifically stick out to you?

Tell us the games you play in these situations down in the comments section below.
