Your first port of call should be signing up to Xbox Game Pass. With Xbox Game Pass, you have instant access to hundreds of Xbox games and bucket loads of Xbox achievements and Gamerscore.

To help narrow down your search for some easy Gamerscore, we've gone through the entire library and listed out all the games with easy-to-unlock achievements in our Game Pass easy achievements and PC Game Pass easy achievements articles. Here, you'll find loads of games with simple achievements to unlock, all of which have been ordered by completion time. These lists are updated regularly, so make sure you bookmark them in your browser.

Another way to find Game Pass titles with easy Gamerscore is by checking out our full Xbox Game Pass games list, where you can sort it by TA Ratio by clicking the 'Ratio' header twice. Generally speaking, games with a ratio lower than 1.5 are relatively easy to complete. Checking the 'Comp Time' column will give you an estimate of how long the game will take. Community submissions drive these completion times.

While perusing our weekly quick completions articles, you'll often see games from the same publishers and developers crop up time and time again. Some of these publishers and/or developers are notorious in the world of achievement hunting for putting out games with ridiculously simple achievement lists — their games will often feature free title updates that bump up a game's total Gamerscore to 5,000G.

Be on the lookout for games from Afil Games, Sometimes You, Chilidog Interactive, Xitilon, Sometimes You, and Ratalaika Games. Their games are usually cheap and only take a few hours to complete — they aren't always the best, but plenty of them are tolerable enough.

If you like a game and want to see more from the same publisher and developer, head to the game's achievement page. You can click on the name of the publisher or developer in the Game Information box. This will take you to a list of every game from that developer or publisher with Xbox achievements.

Here's a shortcut to both Afil Games and Sometimes You so you can see what we mean.

The TrueAchievements Gamer Menu

If you have already signed up to TrueAchievements, you can also use our Gamer Menu to find out which achievements you are close to completing. By clicking on your profile image in the top right hand of the screen, you'll open your personalized Gamer Menu.

You'll see a heading titled Next Achievements, which shows you the next three achievements you are close to unlocking. If you click the All button, a full list of achievements sorted by their relative difficulty will pop up, allowing you to easily see which achievements in your collection are easy to tick off.

Hopefully, some of these tips will help you on your quest for more Gamerscore. For more info about TrueAchievements and Gamerscore, head on over to our Site Help section for a bunch more guides and articles.
