Yesterday we reported on the great value Xbox Game Pass subscribers got during 2023 and Microsoft has just announced the first batch of titles for January and there are some big names in amongst them.
News had been circulating that Grand Theft Auto 5 was leaving the service after just six months and this is true, but who doesn’t own that by now?
Focusing on what is to come we have Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, which is a game that will please many people with a great Viking setting and many hours of gameplay. Resident Evil 2 remake also makes an appearance in the middle of the month for horror fans. The remake version is the definitive version to play.
Elsewhere, if you are a sports fan the excellent Super Mega Baseball 4 arrives in little over a week via EA Play, and its cartoon graphics and superb gameplay will be a great way to remove some of the January blues. Other decent games in the list are Hell Let Loose and We Happy Few.
