Xbox Juggernaut Arrives on Game Pass, Jan 21

Xbox Game Pass January 2025 Lineup: A Mountain of New Games!

Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscribers are in for a treat! January 2025 brings a significant boost to the Game Pass library, particularly in the latter half of the month. While the first half saw some title shifts, the second half delivers a strong lineup of day-one releases.

Leading the charge is Lonely Mountains: Snow Riders, hitting Game Pass on January 21st. This exciting skiing game offers both co-op and PvP modes, and, as is typical for day-one releases since the recent tier changes, will initially be exclusive to Ultimate subscribers.

But Lonely Mountains: Snow Riders is just the beginning! January 28th sees the arrival of Eternal Strands, an action-adventure game from Yellow Brick Games with a distinct Zelda feel, promising a compelling experience. This is followed by Sniper Elite: Resistance on January 30th and Citizen Sleeper 2: Starward Vector on January 31st, further bolstering the month's offerings. All three are day-one Game Pass additions.

The full January 2025 Game Pass lineup (including earlier releases) looks like this:

• Carrion - January 2nd
• Road 96 - January 7th
• Diablo - January 14th
• EA Sports UFC 3 - January 14th
• Lonely Mountains: Snow Riders - January 21st
• Eternal Strands - January 28th
• Sniper Elite: Resistance - January 30th
• Citizen Sleeper 2: Starward Vector - January 31st

February 2025 currently appears less packed, with only Avowed (for Ultimate subscribers) confirmed for February 18th. However, January's impressive additions provide plenty to keep Game Pass Ultimate members entertained in the meantime. Enjoy the ride!
