Not to be outdone by a surprisingly good month of PlayStation Plus offerings, Xbox Game Pass plans to spend the second half of January providing subscribers with a lot of bang for their buck.
Starting today, Xbox Game Pass users can check out the winter sport-focused follow-up to mountain biking game Lonely Mountains: Downhill, and later in the month, they’ll get day one access to Citizen Sleeper 2: Starward Vector and Sniper Elite: Resistance. But don’t let those big names steer you away from games like Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess, Capcom’s surprise strategy game from last year, and The Case of the Golden Idol, a fantastic puzzle game in the vein of Return of the Obra Dinn.
Anyway, here’s the full list:
- Lonely Mountains: Snow Riders (cloud, console, PC) – Jan. 21
- Flock (console) – Jan. 22 (added to Game Pass Standard)
- Gigantic: Rampage Edition (cloud, console, PC) – Jan. 22
- Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess (console) – Jan. 22 (added to Game Pass Standard)

A few games will also be leaving Xbox Game Pass on Jan. 31 (Darkest Dungeon, Death’s Door, and Maquette are all very much worth checking out while they’re still free to subscribers if you haven’t already):
- Anuchard (cloud, console, PC)
