Check out first games joining and leaving Xbox Game Pass in 2025

The Xbox Game Pass offers a great way for gamers to experience various titles at a small price. Each month, new games are added to the list, ranging from Indie to AAA titles. As for the current month, players are set to get the first wave of new games of 2025 with five new additions in January. There are a few more announced for the next few months, but today we mainly focus on the ones coming this month.

The first game joining Game Pass, 'Carrion,’ is now available, with others following soon behind. There is also a Day 1 addition ‘Sniper Elite: Resistance’, the latest entry in the Sniper Elite series, coming late January. Apart from regular games, the subscription also provides players with EA play and Ubisoft Plus subscriptions, allowing players to play more games by simply linking the Xbox account.
