Microsoft has just unveiled the thrilling lineup joining Xbox Game Pass in the first half of January, and it’s a gaming extravaganza! Starting next week, Assassin’s Creed Valhalla will grace Cloud, Console, and PC, offering players a Viking adventure that’s nothing short of epic. I’ve had my fair share of time as Eivor, and it’s always a blast raiding enemies, growing settlements, and striving for god-like glory in Valhalla. Fingers crossed for Assassin’s Creed III Remastered making its debut soon!
But the excitement doesn’t stop there—Resident Evil 2 makes its grand entrance the following week, bringing the beloved remake that my wife absolutely adored. Capcom, if you’re listening, she’s already daydreaming about a Code: Veronica remake in the same phenomenal style. The gaming goodness can be yours for as low as $9.99 a month; just hit that subscribe button (affiliate link) and let the gaming adventures unfold!
Let’s not forget the other gems in this month’s treasure trove. Close to the Sun, a narrative-driven steampunk adventure, set in the mysterious world of Tesla’s Helios. Hell Let Loose, a hardcore World War II first-person shooter, where teamwork is the key to survival in epic 100-player battles. Figment invites you into a surreal universe filled with music and humor, exploring the different sides of the mind. Super Mega Baseball 4 steps up to the plate, promising a home run with its signature arcade-inspired style.
We Happy Few is making a triumphant return, plunging players into a drug-fueled, retro-futuristic England where conformity is key. And for fans of horror, Those Who Remain offers a chilling experience in the town of Dormont, where darkness reigns supreme.
Unfortunately, every gaming party has its farewells. Grand Theft Auto V bids adieu on January 5, followed by Garden Story, MotoGP 22, Persona 4 Golden, and Persona 3 Portable on January 15. So, if you haven’t dived into these titles yet, now’s the time to seize the opportunity before they vanish from the gaming spotlight. Game on!
