We've been waiting ages for Microsoft to give us a big, proper Xbox Game Pass roundup of titles for the month of January (and February), and we've finally just received one following the conclusion of the Xbox Developer Direct event!
The roundup includes a bunch of games that have just been announced, including Hi-Fi Rush and GoldenEye 007, along with some surprises like Hot Wheels Unleashed and JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure All-Star Battle R.
Here's the full list of games coming to Xbox Game Pass very soon:
| Date | Game | Platform |
|---|---|---|
| January 25 | Hi-Fi RUSH | Series X, Series S, PC, Cloud |
| January 27 | GoldenEye 007 | Console, Cloud |
| January 30 | RoboQuest (Game Preview) | Console |
| January 31 | Age of Empires 2: DE | Console, Cloud |
| January 31 | Inkulinati (Game Preview) | Console, PC, Cloud |
| January 31 | JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure All-Star Battle R | Console, PC, Cloud |
| February 2 | Darkest Dungeon | Console, PC, Cloud |
| February 2 | GRID Legends | Cloud |
| February 7 | Hot Wheels Unleashed - GOTY Edition | Console, PC, Cloud |
In addition to these, four games will be leaving Xbox Game Pass on January 31st, as revealed earlier this month. These games will be discounted by at least 20% for Game Pass subscribers until they're removed from the service.
Which of these are you most excited for? Let us know down in the comments section below.

Oh wow, cool to see Jojo, my friend will be happy about that.
Keen to try Hot Wheels myself, heard good things.
why not drop this in the direct.
some strange marketing choices
Great list of games! JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure All-Star Battle R is a nice surprise. Been wanting to check that one out.
SONO CHI NO SADAME..... JOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO JO!
Really glad they've finally done a big drop again!
Will be resubscribing in the morning (my annual one ran out a week or so ago) to play HiFi Rush, Hot Wheels, Inkulinati and a number of the others
If Goldeneye had online multiplayer I would have been excited, it would have been one of those games I’d play a few rounds of here and there when I had some time to kill. I’m not really fussed about going back to the campaign as great as it was back in the day. A swing and a miss with this one I feel
Not much for me I guess, but that's ok. I'll try out JoJo and Hi-Fi Rush, maybe I get hooked on either..
@stvevan as it was a devs presentation not actually xbox presentation
@MrN0vmbr Want to play multiplayer get the switch copy of the game. Simples
Strange that Shadow Warrior 3 didn't make an appearance. Happy with these though, shame The Diofield Chronicles rumour proved to be false.
@MrYoYoMan84 yeah I do have a switch but isn’t it just a straight N64 port? Not sure I can hack the single analog stick and the original graphics.
OK, Right, waiting on February 7th for Hot Wheels to be... pulled yet again since they abruptly decided 'No, not this week either'.
@Chaudy Called it!!!
GoldenEye is neat but without online it's gonna be one of those games I have installed just because I have the space. Was equally as disappointed when I not only found out the remaster of DOOM 1993 only had Local multiplayer & co-op, but then they delisted the backwards compatible one that did have online.
It’s JoJos. Dang some good stuff in there nice.
@theskelf there is a lot of licensing going on with this title and Nintendo, we are lucky the game made it to Xbox at all.
Wonder if it's time to subject myself to a second Darkest Dungeon playthrough...
Cant wait to try out aoe2 with gamepad controls too.
I have n loved Hot Wheels, but always felt like the DLC was a little bit too pricey for what ya get... So I am soooo stoked they are including the GOTY edition. Woulda sucked if it didn't have the DLC haha.
But all N all, very happy that they have a proper line up of games being dropped on game pass, that are actually high quality.
N besides the no Forza release date, todays show was excellent and put out what they said they were going to... without too much filler bullsht. Twas a great format I am looking forward to Xbox continuing to do this going forward
That's more like it. So it seems they waited to announce the batch because Hi-Fi Rush was a shadow drop in the Direct.
@Tharsman yeah nice one, some good games being added. Happy with this announcement
@Grumblevolcano I’d say that makes sense.
Goldeneye! Heck yea!
@MrYoYoMan84
I believe it’s exclusive to the n64 expansion pass for switch online
Btw what does "game preview" even mean?
@BBB Early access sounds like a bit weird idea for GP but oh well. Do you remember if they usually add final releases to game pass?
Goldeneye!!! Finally!! Hot Wheels is decent too but got that on PS5!!
@Novs It depends on the game. Grounded was part of Xbox Game Preview for a very long time for example, but obviously that's a first-party title so it was never going to be removed.
Always expected more games to drop in/after the Xbox event. Hi-Fi Rush looks great
@Tharsman Yes. I guess the reputation of the game made it possible, because all the licensing hell would have buried a less known game.
Nice. I may give a couple of those a try, but nothing I expect to play a lot.
@Jenkinns I might try darkest dungeon again, couldn't get into it last time, which I thought I would because I love slay the spire so much.
Any tips?
roboquest look super fun another great addition to gamepass
