Xbox Game Pass promises a 2025 packed with exciting games for Xbox Series X|S and PC players. While Microsoft hasn’t revealed all the titles coming to the service in January, we already know 5 of the games subscribers can enjoy at the start of the year.
What’s interesting is that most of these will be day-one releases, giving Xbox players plenty of reasons to be excited and keep their subscriptions active. Additionally, two notable titles that previously left the service will soon make their return.

The services will also add Road 96, a narrative-driven road trip adventure. The game is praised for its memorable cast of characters and the opportunity for players to shape their own journey.
Another noteworthy title is Eternal Strands, an action RPG featuring Brynn, a young adventurer fighting dangerous creatures to protect her village. She wields magical abilities to control elements in this exciting journey.
Citizen Sleeper 2: Starward Vector, the sequel to the acclaimed 2022 title, retains its role-playing mechanics and captivating futuristic setting. Players embody a human mind simulation housed in an artificial body, seeking freedom from its creators.
Finally, there’s Sniper Elite: Resistance, the latest installment in the franchise offering a blood-filled adventure set in France. It also includes a multiplayer mode with matches for up to 16 players.
