Microsoft’sXbox Game Passsubscription service adds new games on a regular basis, giving players an endless stream of titles to choose from. SomeXbox Game Passgames are serious time-sinks that require players to dedicate many hours to completing them, but in other cases, the games can be fully completed in a matter of hours. Just recently, Xbox Game Pass added a pair of games that have particularly simple achievements, perfect for anyone looking to boost their gamerscore.
Generally speaking, one’s Xbox gamerscore is not all that important, but achievements themselves are important to those who regularly try to complete the Microsoft Rewards tasks. Each day that Xbox players earn an achievement, they can claim 50 Microsoft Rewards points, and combined with otherMicrosoft Rewardstasks, that can add up to let fans get free games, Xbox Game Pass subscriptions, and other bonuses. So needless to say, it can be hugely advantageous for Xbox gamers to know which games have the easiest achievements to unlock.

The two recently-added Xbox Game Pass games that have especially easy achievements to unlock areMy Friend Peppa PigandEscape Academy. Dedicated players should be able to unlock 1,000 gamerscore in both titles within a matter of hours. Alternatively, they can wait to unlock achievements in the games until they need some for the Microsoft Rewards tasks.
My Friend Peppa Pig Achievements
My Friend Peppa Pigis a game based on thePeppa Pigcartoon. Just like the cartoon,My Friend Peppa Pigis aimed at very young kids, so it’s an incredibly basic and simple game. Its achievement list matches the gameplay’s simplicity, as players can unlock every achievement in the game in under an hour.
Escape Academy Achievements
TheEscape Academyachievements are a little more involved thanMy Friend Peppa Pig, and the game does require a few more hours to fully complete, but it will still be a breeze compared to the vast majority of other games on Xbox Game Pass. The only problem one might run into is unlocking the achievements forcompletingEscape Academyco-op actions. However,Escape Academyhas local and online co-op options, and if someone has no one to play with, they can always get an extra controller and get the achievements that way.
Otherwise, theEscape Academyachievements are all fairly straightforward and easy to unlock. Players will unlock the majority ofEscape Academyachievementsby simply playing through the story, which will take a few hours at most. When that’s done,Escape Academyplayers can clean up whatever achievements they missed, which goes by extremely fast since players will already know the solutions to the various puzzle rooms.
There is oneEscape Academyachievement that is “missable,” but replaying the game to get it will take less than half an hour, as long as players remember the puzzle solutions. The achievement in question is Chatterbox, which is awarded toEscape Academyplayersthat manage to have eight side conversations with character on campus. These conversations are only available in the interim between escape rooms, so if players don’t go out of their way to have these conversations, they can technically miss out on getting this achievement in their initial playthrough. But again, this problem is easily rectified, and it’s still possible to get all the achievements in the game in less than 5 hours with little effort.
My Friend Peppa PigandEscape Academyaren’t the onlyXbox Game Pass games with easy achievements, and it’s likely many more will be added to the service in the future. There are more new Xbox Game Pass games on deck for July 2022, so perhaps some of them will have easy achievements to unlock as well.
