Xbox Game Pass Just Added a HUGE New Game

Summary

  • Sniper Elite: Resistance is now available on Xbox Game Pass Ultimate for solo and co-op gameplay.
  • The game features sniping mechanics, stealth elements, and multiplayer modes.
  • Franchise fans can also purchase the Deluxe Edition with Season Pass content and physical copies.

On January 30, Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscribers will gain immediate access to Rebellion Developments’ “Sniper Elite: Resistance.” This third-person tactical shooter, set in Vichy, France, follows the adventures of Harry Hawker from the Special Operations Executive during World War 2. The events of “Sniper Elite: Resistance” intertwine with those of 2022’s “Sniper Elite 5.” So, Xbox Game Pass Ultimate members can dive into this exciting chapter starting on January 30.

In line with its title’s meaning, the Sniper Elite series primarily concentrates on sharpshooting. Over time, this core aspect has been refined in each subsequent edition. Stealth and strategic combat are equally highlighted, along with options for weapon customization and various side objectives such as eliminating targets. The newest installment from Rebellion Developments offers a single-player or online co-op campaign, plus 16-player competitive multiplayer and Invasion, an innovative asymmetrical multiplayer mode initially presented in Sniper Elite 5.

Launched on January 30th, the game titled “Sniper Elite: Resistance” has been predominantly praised by critics so far. Lucky for Xbox Game Pass Ultimate members, they can play it on both PC and Xbox platforms without any extra charges from day one! You can also access it on PC through Steam or Epic Games Store. Additionally, PlayStation 4 and 5 console users are welcome to join in the action as well.

As a devoted enthusiast of the Sniper Elite series, if you’re craving a more immersive experience, I highly recommend checking out the Deluxe Edition of Sniper Elite: Resistance. This special edition comes with Season Pass content that will be rolled out throughout this year, offering an exciting extension to your gameplay. For those who prefer a physical copy, there’s also a traditional, boxed version available for purchase – perfect for those who enjoy the tangible feel of a tactical shooter in their hands.

To date, Xbox Game Pass subscribers, whether Standard or Ultimate, have had a thrilling January ride. One standout inclusion was the sudden arrival of “Ninja Gaiden 2: Black” on Game Pass on January 23, coinciding with the news that “Ninja Gaiden 4” will be accessible to subscribers on its release day this Fall 2025. On January 28, “Eternal Strands“, the long-awaited third-person action-adventure game from Yellow Brick Games, was added to the already impressive array of titles available to Ultimate subscribers upon its launch.

In February 2025, the complete lineup of games joining Xbox Game Pass hasn’t been unveiled yet, but subscribers are eagerly waiting for one highly anticipated game set to debut on February 18 – Obsidian Entertainment’s Avowed, initially in development since 2018. On this day, it will officially launch as a day one title on Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, available both on PC and console platforms.
