Xbox Game Pass January 2026 Wave 1 Lineup Officially Announced

It’s been five weeks since Microsoft last shared what’s coming to Xbox Game Pass. Usually, they announce new games twice a month, but for several years, they’ve combined their December announcements into one. This makes the wait for the first games of the new year a bit longer. This year, the wait ended on January 6th when Microsoft revealed the first set of games coming to Xbox Game Pass in 2026.

Solo Leveling Finally Receives A Major Update For April 2026

Look, I know live-action anime adaptations can be really hit or miss – we’ve all seen some pretty disappointing ones, like the Death Note movie. But I’m seriously hyped about the Solo Leveling live-action! We just got news that filming is finally starting in April 2026, which is amazing! While we don’t know everything yet, Netflix has shared some details – like how many episodes to expect and a few of the actors involved – and they’re promising a really high-quality production. And that’s not all! 2026 is shaping up to be a huge year for Solo Leveling, with a new video game and even a possible movie also on the way. I’m so excited to see how this all turns out!

Escape From Tarkov’s Last Mission Just Got Harder for Squads

As a big fan of Escape from Tarkov, I was really frustrated by the recent changes to the final mission. It was already tough, and a lot of us were annoyed during the holidays that not everyone in a five-person squad could actually get out after the final cutscene. Honestly, I was hoping Battlestate Games would fix it, but they ended up making things even harder. It’s the opposite of what the community wanted, and it’s pretty disappointing.

One Piece Finally Confirms The Strongest Yonko Of All Time

As a huge One Piece fan, it’s always been clear to me that the Yonko are the absolute strongest pirates out there! Now that we know Imu is the big bad – and seriously powerful – the Yonko still hold that top-tier strength. I don’t see that changing at all as we head into the Final Saga; they’re going to remain forces to be reckoned with!

Amazon Prime Gaming Has 10 Free Games for January 2026

As of today, I’m still able to snag a whopping 22 free games with my Amazon Prime membership! Seriously, they have some great ones like XCOM 2, New Tales from the Borderlands, Deus Ex: Mankind Divided, LEGO 2K Drive, and even the original Fallout games. But you’ve gotta hurry, because they’re adding 10 new free games that will slowly replace the current selection, so don’t miss out!

Cyberpunk 2077 Director Denies Claims that Early Game Montage was Cut Content

Igor Sarzyński, Creative Director for Cyberpunk 2077, explained that the game’s initial section was intentionally short and that making it longer wouldn’t have improved the experience. Although Cyberpunk 2077 had a difficult launch, it has since become a major success story in the gaming world. Despite this turnaround, some players still have concerns, but the game’s narrative lead doesn’t agree with all of the criticism.
