by George Feb 28,2025

Xbox Game Pass Welcomes a Snowy Avalanche of New Games in January 2025!

Get ready for a thrilling January on Xbox Game Pass! Lonely Mountains: Snow Riders, a day-one title for Ultimate subscribers, drops on January 21st, kicking off a wave of exciting new additions. The first half of the month saw some shuffling of titles between tiers, but the second half is where the real action is.

Initially, Lonely Mountains: Snow Riders will be exclusive to Xbox Game Pass Ultimate members. This exhilarating skiing game offers both cooperative and competitive multiplayer modes, promising hours of snowy fun.

Beyond the slopes, January 2025 also brings a diverse range of titles to Game Pass, including:

Xbox Game Pass January 2025 Lineup:

  • Carrion - January 2nd
  • Road 96 - January 7th
  • Diablo - January 14th
  • EA Sports UFC 3 - January 14th
  • Lonely Mountains: Snow Riders - January 21st
  • Eternal Strands - January 28th
  • Sniper Elite: Resistance - January 30th
  • Citizen Sleeper 2 - January 31st

The second half of January is particularly impressive, boasting not only Lonely Mountains: Snow Riders but also three other day-one releases: Eternal Strands (January 28th), Sniper Elite: Resistance (January 30th), and Citizen Sleeper 2: Starward Vector (January 31st). Eternal Strands, in particular, is generating significant buzz, with its Zelda-esque action-adventure gameplay developed by a BioWare veteran.

While February 2025 currently looks less packed, with Avowed slated for release on February 18th (Xbox Game Pass Ultimate), January's impressive lineup provides ample entertainment for Game Pass Ultimate subscribers while they await further announcements.
