The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt celebrates its 10th anniversary this month, and CD Projekt Red have commemorated the milestone by collaborating with the Xbox team to create a tempered and battle-ready controller for players looking to expand their witcher’s toolkit. Embark on the path with the Xbox Wireless Controller – The Witcher 3 10th Anniversary Special Edition and Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2 – Core The Witcher 3 10th Anniversary Special Edition.

“Shows the power of Game Pass”
These Xbox sites always exaggerating. Every service has its popular games.
that's an odd list.
most of the games have been available for years.
I wouldn't say this gauges popularity, it gauges how many people played at least 1sec of any given game. That doesn't mean much when it's part of a subscription service. I can't say I have a better solution as play time is not a set number for anything, and sales are not the whole story either with sub services around, but this metric of just how many people got to the splash screen is not indicative of popularity
Power of Game Pass LOL. Power to not buy games
