Here’s our first batch of Xbox Game Pass titles for January

Microsoft has announced its first wave of Game Pass titles for January.

A number of these games are, I am sorry to say, already available to those on the higher Game Pass tier, but are now becoming available for those on Game Pass Standard.

As is the case with every month, the arrival of these new games means that others will be leaving Game Pass. The following games will leave the service on 15th January:

Common’ Hood (Cloud, Console, and PC)
Escape Academy (Cloud, Console, and PC)
Exoprimal (Cloud, Console, and PC)
Figment (Cloud, Console, and PC)
Insurgency Sandstorm (Cloud, Console, and PC)
Those Who Remain (Cloud, Console, and PC)

If you want to keep playing these games after they leave Game Pass, you’ll need to purchase them. On the plus side, Game Pass subscribers get a 20 percent discount.
