Xbox Game Pass January 2025 Lineup: New Arrivals and Departures

Microsoft has unveiled its first Xbox Game Pass lineup for 2025, confirming several anticipated titles and announcing some departures. The month of January brings a mix of new releases and returning favorites, catering to various tastes.

New Games Arriving in January 2025:

Microsoft's January 7th announcement included seven new additions to the Xbox Game Pass catalog. Leading the charge is Road 96, a choice-driven adventure title, available immediately across all Game Pass tiers (including PC). This marks a welcome return for the game, previously available on the service.

The remaining six titles will arrive later in the month:

  • January 8th: Lightyear Frontier (Preview), My Time at Sandrock, Robin Hood – Sherwood Builders, Rolling Hills
  • January 14th: UFC 5, Diablo

Noteworthy is the exclusivity of Diablo (Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass only) and UFC 5 (Game Pass Ultimate only). The rest of the lineup is accessible with a standard subscription. Lightyear Frontier, a sci-fi title, remains in early access.

New Game Pass Perks:

Alongside the new games, several Game Pass Ultimate perks launched on January 7th, including a weapon charm for Apex Legends and DLC packs for First Descendant, Vigor, and Metaball.

Games Leaving Xbox Game Pass on January 15th:

As new games arrive, some must depart. Microsoft confirmed the following six titles will be removed from the service on January 15th:

  • Common'hood
  • Escape Academy
  • Exoprimal
  • Figment
  • Insurgency Sandstorm
  • Those Who Remain

This initial lineup is just for the first half of January. Further announcements for the latter half of the month and beyond are expected soon.
