It’s a new year, which means new games are coming to Xbox Game Pass with its ever-evolving library of free games for Xbox fans to enjoy. With a monthly membership fee, players can enjoy a plethora of titles at no additional cost in addition to day-one first-party games, DLC, and more. Now that it’s January and the start of the new year, here is what is coming to — and leaving — Xbox Game Pass this month.
A personal favorite being added to the PC version of Xbox Game Pass is What Remains of Edith Finch. This indie title is a delightful collection of short stories revolving around a Washington family. Tales of loss, survival, and human resistance; it’s a beautiful game and one I definitely recommend if you haven’t played it yet.

Don’t have Xbox Game Pass yet? With this membership, there are two options to choose from with the Xbox Game Pass and the Xbox Game Pass Ultimate. Both offer Team Green fans a chance to play over 100 titles at no additional cost, including day-one launches of first-party titles. With the acquisition of Bethesda, there will be even more incentive to join up with this particular service.
Xbox Game Pass is $9.99 a month, whereas Xbox Game Pass Ultimate comes in at $14.99 and includes Xbox Live Gold. It’s a pretty good deal, especially for those that are picky with their games. Either way, we have some new shakeups for the start of the new year!
