Xbox has announced more games coming to Game Pass this month, including Lonely Mountain: Snow Riders, a new Sniper Elite game, Orcs Must Die! Deathtrap, and Citizen Sleeper 2.
On January 21, Xbox revealed the second wave of new and old games coming to the various tiers and plans of Game Pass. As reminder, Game Pass ain’t the simple Netflix-like subscription plan like it was previously. Now in 2025, most new games are only available to Ultimate and PC subscribers, while Xbox Game Pass Standard users have to wait for releases to eventually make their way into the cheaper tier.
This month, I’m probably most excited about the new new Orcs Must Die sequel. I’ve enjoyed the past games a lot and I’m ready for a new one. And even better, unlike the third game in the series which was trapped on Stadia at launch, Orcs Must Die! Deathtrap is releasing on PC and console.
Anyway, here’s everything coming to Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass in January. Scroll down further to see a list of what’s making the leap to Game Pass Standard later this month, too.
