The first additions to Xbox Game Pass for January 2024 have just been announced. The year is starting off very well for subscribers.
Even in 2023, Xbox Game Pass has established itself as the best offer in the industry. It added nearly $9,000 worth of new subscriber additions throughout the year and it’s not about to stop. 2024 will still be marked by major releases that will be available as soon as they are released, including Hellblade 2, STALKER 2 and Hollow Knight Silksong… we believe it will be released this year. Since January was one of the months with fewest excursions, it was difficult to know what the month had in store for us. No more reason to make plans for the comet, the Xbox Game Pass games for January 2024 have been revealed, the year is off to a great start!
Xbox Game Pass will be available from early 2024
The first Game Pass expansion was unexpectedly launched today. Close to the Sun, a narrative horror game that immerses you in an alternative universe inspired by the inventions of Nikola Tesla and often (somewhat unfairly) compared to Bioshock, has therefore opened the ball for this 2024. The official announcement was therefore imminent and the first wave of growth for this month of January has just fallen. It will be marked above all by the arrival/return of two major productions. On the one hand, the excellent Resident Evil 2 remake and on the other, Assassin’s Creed Valhalla and its delve into the heart of Eivor’s Viking epic. There are also smaller original productions that have the advantage of taking subscribers into their strange, sometimes confusing worlds. Enough talk, here are the first Xbox Game Pass games for January 2024!:
- Close to the Sun (Cloud, Consoles and PC) – Available
- Hell Let Loose (Cloud, PC and Xbox Series X|S) – January 4th
- Assassin’s Creed Valhalla (Cloud, Consoles and PC) – January 9th
- Figment (Cloud, Consoles and PC) – January 9th
- Super Mega Baseball 4 (Cloud, Consoles and PC) EA Play – January 11th
- We Happy Few (Cloud, Consoles and PC) – January 11th
- Resident Evil 2 (Cloud, Consoles and PC) – January 16th
- Those Who Remain (Cloud, Consoles and PC) – January 16th
There’s still no Baldur’s Gate 1 and 2 on the horizon, despite what a notification many players received today suggested. Maybe they’ll come with the second wave of Xbox Game Pass games this January? Answer in the coming weeks.
Releases in January 2024
You’ve known the song by heart for a long time: these additions are accompanied by releases, and not just any releases. Subscribers will have to say goodbye to GTA 5 on January 5, 2024. What is quite unusual is that his departure takes place in isolation from the others, where everyone usually goes hand in hand. As of January 15th, a few more productions are leaving Xbox Game Pass, namely:
- Garden Story (Cloud, Console and PC)
- MotoGP 22 (Cloud, Console and PC)
- Persona 4 Golden (Cloud, Console and PC)
- Persona 3 Portable (Cloud, Console and PC)
