Finally, they’ve made us wait, but today, after the annual vacation period, Xbox has announced the next games to join Xbox Game Pass for the first half of January. Yesterday, we were surprised to learn about the arrival of two new games, but this was just an appetizer for what’s to come – we have many more games on the way.

For now, the service is expanding in January with all these new titles, and the best part is that there are still more announcements pending, as well as the Developer Direct, where we’ll surely learn about new games coming to the service.
