Xbox Game Pass January 2025 Lineup: A Snowy Start and More to Come
Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscribers are in for a treat! Lonely Mountains: Snow Riders, a thrilling skiing game featuring co-op and PvP modes, drops as a day-one title on January 21st. This exciting addition follows a relatively quiet first half of January, where most changes involved tier shifts rather than new game additions.
While the initial January 2025 wave was light, the second half promises a significant boost. Following Lonely Mountains: Snow Riders, Game Pass will welcome three more day-one titles: Eternal Strands (January 28th), Sniper Elite: Resistance (January 30th), and Citizen Sleeper 2: Starward Vector (January 31st).
Eternal Strands, developed by Yellow Brick Games and helmed by BioWare veteran Mike Laidlaw, stands out with its Zelda-inspired action-adventure gameplay. All these new titles will be available to Ultimate subscribers at no extra cost.
The complete list of January 2025 Game Pass additions includes:
- 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 - January 31st
February 2025's lineup remains largely unannounced, although Avowed is confirmed for Xbox Game Pass Ultimate on February 18th. Until then, Ultimate subscribers can enjoy the exciting array of January releases, including the snowy adventures of Lonely Mountains: Snow Riders and the intriguing world of Eternal Strands.
