Summary
- Lonely Mountains: Snow Riders joins Xbox Game Pass on January 21 as a day one game for Ultimate subscribers.
- Additional new games, like Eternal Strands and Citizen Sleeper 2, are also coming to Game Pass in the second half of January 2025.
Xbox Game Pass is set to enhance its offerings with the addition of Lonely Mountains: Snow Riders on January 21, 2025. This exciting skiing game, featuring both co-op and PvP modes, will be available to Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscribers right from its launch day. The announcement comes after a somewhat quiet start to the month, with the initial wave of January 2025 games including titles like Carrion, Road 96, the original Diablo, and EA Sports UFC 5.
While the first half of January 2025 saw mostly tier changes with games moving from Ultimate to Standard, the second half promises a more robust lineup. Alongside Lonely Mountains: Snow Riders, subscribers can look forward to Eternal Strands on January 28, Sniper Elite: Resistance on January 30, and Citizen Sleeper 2: Starward Vector on January 31. These titles will be available as day one releases, offering a diverse range of gaming experiences to Game Pass Ultimate members.
Among these, Eternal Strands stands out, developed by Yellow Brick Games and led by industry veteran Mike Laidlaw. This action-adventure game echoes the charm of the Zelda series and promises to be a significant addition to the Game Pass catalog.
Looking ahead, February 2025 appears less packed, with Avowed slated for release on February 18 for Game Pass Ultimate subscribers. As the gaming community eagerly anticipates these new additions, they can enjoy the rich lineup of January 2025 games while awaiting further announcements for the upcoming month.
