Now Playing: Assassin's Creed Valhalla Review

The Game Pass library then adds Super Mega Baseball 4 on January 11, along with We Happy Few, which makes its return to the library. We Happy Few is developed by the Microsoft-owned developer Compulsion Games, and many wondered why it was removed a year ago this month. That’s not exactly clear, but the game will be back on Game Pass quite soon.

Resident Evil 2’s remake launches on January 16 into Game Pass, while the horror game Those Who Remain arrives that day as well. The first half of January 2024’s Game Pass launches do not include any day-one new releases.

Microsoft typically announces monthly Game Pass additions in two waves, so check back later in the month for a second wave of additions to the catalog.

In terms of titles leaving Game Pass in the first half of January 2024, GTA V, Garden Story, MotoGP 22, Persona 4 Golden, and Person 3 Portable are all getting dumped from the library soon.
