Leading the charge is Lonely Mountains: Snow Riders, launching on January 21st. This exhilarating skiing game offers both co-op and PvP modes, providing a thrilling experience for players. As is typical with day-one releases since the recent tier changes, it will initially be exclusive to Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscribers.
The January 2025 Game Pass lineup also includes:
- January 2nd: Carrion
- January 7th: Road 96
- January 14th: Diablo (PC Game Pass) and EA Sports UFC 3
- January 28th: Eternal Strands
- January 30th: Sniper Elite: Resistance
- January 31st: Citizen Sleeper 2: Starward Vector
Eternal Strands, an action-adventure game developed by Yellow Brick Games and helmed by BioWare veteran Mike Laidlaw, is a standout addition, boasting a distinct Zelda-esque aesthetic.
Beyond January, February 2025's Game Pass additions remain largely unannounced, although Avowed is confirmed for an Xbox Game Pass Ultimate release on February 18th.
In summary, January 2025 offers a strong selection of new games for Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscribers, particularly in the latter half of the month. While February's lineup is currently less clear, the strong January offerings provide plenty to keep subscribers entertained.
