Eternal Strands, Sniper Elite: Resistance, more come to Xbox Game Pass in January 2025 Wave 2

by

As we near the end of January, I’m thrilled to learn about the fresh wave of Xbox Game Pass titles that are on their way!

The upcoming announcements for Wave 2 feature exciting games, one of which is Eternal Strands – an engaging indie action game reminiscent of Shadow of the Colossus. Mark your calendars as it’s set to launch on January 28, and it will be accessible through our subscription service.

Among the new Xbox Game Pass titles are “Sniper Elite: Resistance,” due out on January 30 and marking either the sixth or ninth installment in the series of stealth shooters that revolve around rifles, depending on counting methodology; and “Lonely Mountain: Snow Riders,” an indie snow racing game from the creators of Lonely Mountains: Downhill, is currently accessible via the service.

As an enthusiastic fan, I’m thrilled to share that the long-awaited sequel to my beloved game, “Citizen Sleeper 2”, will officially launch on my device on January 31st! That’s not all, folks! Another exciting title, “Orcs Must Die! Deathtrap”, is set to invade our screens a few days earlier, on January 28th. Can’t wait to dive in and explore these new worlds!

From January 22 through the end of the month, here’s a complete rundown of the games and game content joining Xbox Game Pass:

In the period spanning January 22 to the final days of the month, we have the following list of new games and game content being added to Xbox Game Pass:
