It’s a good month to be an Xbox Game Pass subscriber, with no less than eleven new games landing on the service between now and January 20th. We have all-time favourites, brand new games, and games suitable for all the family. In other words, whoever you are, we’re pretty sure there’ll be a new game for you to play on Game Pass.

Leading the charge is one of our favourite roguelike games of last year, Lost in Random: The Eternal Die. A spin-off of the excellent Lost in Random, this action-adventure has you exploring the world of Random, defeating enemies and surviving for as long as possible. You’ll also be able to play Atomfall, an apocalyptic open-world title we named as one of the best games of 2025, on a lower tier.

For Star Wars fans, there’s Star Wars: Outlaws, an open-world adventure that we absolutely loved. And if you’re a horror aficionado, Resident Evil Village is coming to the service to keep you awake at night. Brand new metroidvania Mio: Memories in Orbit is coming to Game Pass on the 20th January, too.

Of course, the availability of games depends on which level of Game Pass you subscribe to. We’ve outlined them all below.

  • MIO: Memories in Orbit (PC, Xbox Series X/S and Cloud) – Available from 20th January on Ultimate and PC Game Pass

As always, new games coming to Xbox Game Pass means that some games will be leaving the service. On 15th January, five games will be leaving the service: Neon White, Road 96, The Ascent, The Grinch Christmas Adventures and Flintlock: The Siege of Dawn. That gives you just over a week to play them, or add them to your library with a discount.
