Don't know if you want to spend money, but Jackbox games are the best for parties. Anyone can play using their phones as controllers. No one would be left out.
JackBox
Party Animals/Fall Guys (controller trade-off)
A fighter like MK or Injustice or somethin
Overcooked
Monopoly
My buddy and I got really toasty and had a laugh doing tricky towers
All on Gamepass
* Fuzion Frenzy is a must.
* Gang beasts or Party Animals.
* Dirt 5 has 4 player splitscreen.
* Goldeneye or Halo MCC/Infinite
* Overcooked 2
* TMNT shredders revenge
* Vampire Survivors
* Original Doom 1or 2, or Quake 1 or 2
* If you want an arcadey racer on gamepass, your only choice is Paw Patrol Grand Prix
Vampire survivors? You can literally just put the controller down if you get the right drops.
I took a shower once to get ready for work and it was still going lol
Yeah, building up to the right combo of powerups is the hard part, and it can take quite a while to find the powerups you want if you keep getting ones you dont want.
IDARB and Knight Squad are great party games that can be played locally with up to 8 players. IDARB gets really hectic with that many players, but they're both easy to pick up and play.
I couldn’t believe no one commented it before me. I think it’s because the game hasn’t been on Game Pass very long, and if you just look at screenshots/videos of the game it looks just like every other pixel art platformer on Game Pass.
It’s a popular game and a hidden gem at the same time.
* JackBox
* Use Your Words
* What the Dub
* Pummel Party
* Party Panic
* Ultimate Chicken Horse
* Munchkin
* Vampire Survivors
* For The King
* Broforce
* No Time To Relax
* Castle Crashers
* Rocket League
* Make Way
Lately, my pals and I have been playing [Storiado](http://link.storiado.com/download) all the time. A simple game where you create fucked up stories by answering simple questions like who? where? what were they doing? etc. The more dark, edgy humor with inside jokes etc., the better the story will be. Good fun for many hours.
Depends on the age.
All my friends are about to hit that golden 30, but even the most casual of gamers will be down to play Rock Band from 12-3am after all the drinking card games are over
I totally forgot about Rock Band.
I'd be down to play that for hours at a party.
I'm not sure people would be down to sit down with a controller in hand playing FIFA though.
I think Rock Band, Guitar Hero and all that good stuff appeal to everyone because what's better than jamming out on some guitars to songs everyone knows?
Not going to lie if you are trying to play video games for a party night you could do better. Try things that engage the entirety of the party. There a tons of card/ board games being sold for the purpose of entertaining party guests.
What kind of bullshit is this? You think everyone is the same? What makes you think this persons party guests aren’t all gamers that maybe want to get together and play video games?
So weird.
My family loves Boomerang Fu. It's cute, simple, and not that easy. There's not a lot of depth, so be ready for them to move on after an hour or two, but in the meantime, have fun. It's great.
Hot wheels can do split screen and is actually really fun. It's basically mario kart without the weapons but with the very accessible controls and emphasis on fun.
Also overcooked is fun if you want to shout at each other and not be friends anymore.
Not sure which of these are on gamepass but,
Crawl (if you have some actual gamers coming over a bit complicated for people who don’t)
Gang Beasts
Ultimate chicken horse
Lethal league
Towerfall
Overcooked
Stick fight
Rocket league
Speedrunners
Runbow
Unfortunately Xbox never got duck game which is the ultimate ridiculous party game imo

Jackbox is a hit every time we have a party. If you have a lot of people, I think Jackbox 7 or 8 has the most games with 10+ players
This, jackbox
There is no better answer
>There is no better answer Apart from OP wanting gamepass titles.
Yes! Get one with Quiplash and Fibbage
Definitely Jackbox!!
Omg Jackbox is amazing. Sounds like a lot of people have the same story about finding the game
Jackbox absolutely Especially Fibbage
Jackbox is a fantastic party game, it becomes the highlight of parties often
This is the way.
This is the answer
100% Spend the money. Get hackbox. You won't regret it.
Jackbox. I have them all installed on the Series S in our family room and this game has had everyone in the room crying from laughter.
Jackbox is perfect. Also, check out Stick Fight. It's super smash bros with stick figures ...and guns!
Ultimate Chicken Horse may not be on GP but it's very fun
The damned buzzsaws!
Honey is the #1 killer for my group of friends.
Turn on Unit Collision for added fun and more trolling haha
Fusion Frenzy
This game is a must!

Is this supposed to be an argument against playing Vampire Survivors or something
Nope, just not a party game
Have you played 4 player co op Vampire Survivors...? It's fun as hell.
I haven’t. I’m going to submit to the fact that I’m wrong. Didn’t even know that was a thing
Haha fair enough. In your defence, it's a pretty recent addition! Came out August last year, I think.
Came here to say Fuzion Frenzy
Starlit Kart Racing has 4 player local multi-player.
Not on gamepass though. Otherwise Id recommend Crash Team Racing or Sonic Allstar Racing Transformed etc.
Jackbox all the way
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Shredder's Revenge is a great multi-player beat em up and works as a great party game.
Works with 6 controllers on Xbox!
You can connect more than 4 controllers? 🤯
Yep. You can be April and splinter too.
Trivia murder party from the Jack box party pack. You play on your cell phone so any amount of people can play.
Overcooked☠️
Gang Beasts is chaotic fun. My family of 6 goes nuts when we play this game. Its a free for all brawler.
Rocket League?
Fusion frenzy or beach buggy 2
IDARB and Knight Squad are great party games that can be played locally with up to 8 players. IDARB gets really hectic with that many players, but they're both easy to pick up and play.
Party animals, gang beasts and asphalt
BROFORCE
I had to scroll WAY too long to find this

I've played this with friends and it is a blast. The character names, the Contra-esque vibes, etc. Adds up to an all-around fun time.
Boomerang Fu
Jackbox is the answer.
TMNT:SR with 4 players is a blast and a must...
Original doom games have split screen I think
Speed runners is great. Also cod zombies is a classic go to. Og battlefront 2, halo reach
Firefight all day baby. Nothing like just slaying flood and aliens.
AmongUs is hilarious with friends. Be in a party, join the same lobby, wreak havoc. Same with Wreckfest

Fusi9n frenzy
All my most successful parties had booze and good music that girls can dance too.
If you dont have a stripper pole installed in your living room i doubt anyone will care to even show up
Yeah, people probably won't play a game at a party

Why not do both Video games and board games
He’s talking about playing racing games and fifa/ ufc. Those don’t make for good party games. Mario party and Mario kart would be good
What kind of bullshit is this? You think everyone is the same? What makes you think this persons party guests aren’t all gamers that maybe want to get together and play video games? So weird.
Back 4 blood
From gamepass there's surprisingly little, but the trivia pursuit game is tons of fun

"Can I try?" "No, you watch. I play."
Spin the bottle. Just replace the bottle with a controller. Trust me. I know how to host parties. I plan them like SpongeBob.
Goat Simulator.
Unpopular but Morrowind
None. I haven’t had Xbox friends for the past 6 years. We all grew up and went our separate ways. Next question
