If the addition of Star Wars Outlaws, Resident Evil Village (out today, by the way), and more to Game Pass this month wasn’t enough, Wave 2 has been announced, and it’s arguably more impressive. It kicks off tomorrow with Death Stranding Director’s Cut for cloud, PC, and Xbox Series X/S for Ultimate, Premium and PC subscribers.
RoadCraft and Ninja Gaiden: Ragebound are also coming to the same tiers tomorrow, making for an already packed week. However, January 27th sees the arrival of The Talos Principle 2 for PC and Xbox Series X/S, followed by Anno: Mutationem and Drop Duchy on January 28th. All three titles will be available for Ultimate, PC and Premium subscribers.
On January 29th, you can look forward to another heavy hitter – MySims: Cozy Bundle. Oh, and a little something called Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2, one of the best third-person shooters available. Truly the Barbenheimer of our times.
February 2nd sees the addition of Indika for Ultimate and PC Game Pass, followed by Final Fantasy 2 on February 3rd. The latter follows the arrival of the first game in Squaresoft’s legendary series, so at this rate, we can probably experience Final Fantasy 16 by next year.
Unfortunately, as with every new Game Pass wave, some titles are being removed from the service’s library. From January 31st, you’ll no longer have access to the following:
- Shady Part of Me (Cloud, PC, and Console)
- Cataclismo (PC)
- Starbound (Cloud, PC, and Console)
- Lonely Mountains Snow Riders (Cloud, PC, and Console)
- Paw Patrol World (Cloud, PC, and Console)
- Citizen Sleeper 2 Starward Vector (Cloud, PC, and Console)
- Orcs Must Die! Deathtrap (Cloud, PC, and Console)
