These Six Xbox Games Have Made January A Month To Remember

January has always typically been a quiet time for new Xbox releases, but last year broke the mould with some major arrivals such as Hi-Fi RUSH and GoldenEye 007, and somehow January 2024 has surpassed expectations once again.

Specifically, we want to highlight six games that have all arrived in excellent form on Xbox throughout January, starting with Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown on January 15th, and concluding with today's reviews of Persona 3 Reload.

Looking at Metacritic, five of these games have fallen between the 83 and 93 ranges in terms of their average reviews for Xbox Series X so far. In fact, Like A Dragon: Infinite Wealth would have been the third best-rated title if it released in 2023, beating the likes of Alan Wake 2, Resident Evil 4, Dead Space and many amazing games.

The other Xbox title from January 2024 that we have to point out is Palworld, which has quickly become one of the most popular games in the world. That makes it one of the most important Xbox console exclusives of recent years!

So, in case you haven't been keeping up with the news this month, we wanted to bring these six superb Xbox releases from January to your attention once more. You'll find lots more details below, including our hands-on impressions.
