Xbox Game Pass January and February Lineup Add Death Stranding Director's Cut And Space Marine 2

Xbox Game Pass is set for a busy late January and early February, with Death Stranding Director's Cut and Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 leading a fresh batch of titles for subscribers on PC, cloud, and Xbox Series S/X, across Game Pass Ultimate, Premium, and PC Game Pass tiers.

Microsoft detailed the second wave of January additions in an Xbox Wire update on Tuesday, following an earlier lineup that already brought Star Wars Outlaws and Resident Evil Village to Xbox Game Pass members as part of the month’s first batch of releases.

Xbox Game Pass January Releases

From January 21, Death Stranding Director's Cut joins Xbox Game Pass on PC, cloud, and Xbox Series S/X, available for Game Pass Ultimate, Premium, and PC Game Pass users, with the expanded edition of Hideo Kojima’s game again following Sam Porter Bridges as deliveries help link isolated communities in a post-apocalyptic United States.

The same January 21 wave adds RoadCraft for PC players through Xbox Game Pass, while Ninja Gaiden Ragebound arrives on PC, cloud, and Xbox Series S/X, offering a side-scrolling action and hack-and-slash experience; Ninja Gaiden Ragebound is described as a side-scrolling action title, with the project credited to The Game Kitchen.

Later in the month, The Talos Principle 2 reaches Xbox Game Pass on January 27, followed on January 28 by action-adventure title Anno: Mutationem and rogue-lite game Drop Duchy, while MySims: Cozy Bundle and Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 both arrive on January 29 for members on PC, cloud, and Xbox Series S/X, with Space Marine 2 supporting solo play and up to three-player co-op.

Xbox Game Pass February Lineup

The current announcement for Xbox Game Pass stretches into the first week of February as well, with narrative-focused adventure Indika scheduled to join the subscription on February 2, followed a day later, on February 3, by Final Fantasy 2, which will also be available to Xbox Game Pass members when it arrives.

Xbox Game Pass Cloud and Service Updates

Alongside the new catalogue, Xbox highlighted plans for Xbox Cloud Gaming access supported by advertising, saying that some form of free entry to the streaming option is expected 'This Year' With Ads, although full details on how that model will work have not yet been outlined.

As usual for Xbox Game Pass, the incoming games are balanced by a group of departures, with Shady Part of Me, Cataclismo, Starbound, Lonely Mountains Snow Riders, Paw Patrol World, Citizen Sleeper 2 Starward Vector, and Orcs Must Die! Deathtrap all scheduled to leave the subscription library on January 31. The refreshed Xbox Game Pass schedule gives players a mix of genres, from delivery-based action and narrative journeys to shooters.
