We love Microsoft's Xbox Game Pass service, as it gives millions of gamers affordable access to many of the best gaming experiences available in the Xbox ecosystem. With that said, not every game is on Game Pass, and as a result, subscribers to the service that don't like to spend money on games directly will likely miss out on several incredible games.
Thanks to Prime Day, however, it's possible to pick games like this up at significantly reduced prices. Even though Amazon's annual sales event has officially ended, many of the best Prime Day deals on Xbox games not available through Game Pass have remained available, giving gamers another chance to save big.
We've managed to hunt them all down, and whether you're looking for an action-packed shooter, a rich RPG, a chance to explore a breathtaking open world, or something else, at least one of these deals will be right up your alley.
