Finally, they’ve made us wait, but today, after the annual vacation period, Xbox has revealed the next games that will be joining Xbox Game Pass for the first half of January. Yesterday, we were surprised to learn about the arrival of two new games that are already available with Xbox Game Pass, but this was just an appetizer for what’s to come, as many more games are 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 likely learn about even more games coming to the service.

Once Microsoft releases the official calendar with specific dates and times, it will become clear how these releases will be rolled out, but the lineup already suggests that the year is off to a strong start for Xbox subscribers.
