This lineup combines the arrival of a widely recognized title with an absolute premiere within the service, expanding options for both those seeking high-profile productions and those who enjoy discovering new proposals from day one.

Two great games arrive on January 20th on Xbox Game Pass

On one hand, Resident Evil Village will join Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, Premium, and PC Game Pass. This installment takes players to a village marked by horror, with a proposal that mixes exploration, action, and constant tension, and has become one of the most valued experiences in the saga in recent years.

Alongside it, MIO: Memories in Orbit will debut, arriving Day One on Xbox Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass. This is a new proposal that bets on a very careful setting and a more personal approach, designed for those seeking something different within the catalog from day one.

Thus, January 20th is shaping up to be one of the strongest dates of the month for Xbox Game Pass, combining a major addition with a direct premiere that expands the variety of the service on both console and PC.
