- Lots of games are coming to Xbox Game Pass throughout January and the beginning of February
- This includes Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2, Resident Evil Villageand MySims: Cozy bundle
- Subscribers will also be able to play Death Stranding Director’s Cut and more
Xbox has announced the next batch of titles coming to the Game Pass subscription service, and it includes some excellent experiences that I can personally recommend.
For me, the big highlight of this month is easily the arrival of Warhammer 40,000: Space Marines 2 on January 29. This third-person shooter was comfortably one of my favorite releases of 2024, offering some good old-fashioned action that doesn’t suffer from the bloat of most modern games.
You play as one of the fearsome Space Marines from the dark Warhammer 40,000 universe, striking down enemies with powerful ranged and melee weapons. It’s immensely satisfying, and there are plenty of different modes to try, including a beefy single-player story, a separate co-op campaign, and even some PvP multiplayer.
I wanted to check out too MySims: Cozy bundlea two-pack containing the old The Sims spinoffs MySims and MySims Kingdom. Both are lovely little experiences that are more akin to that sort of thing Animal Crossing than your usual Sims game – so it’s perfect if you want some relaxing titles to dive into for a few hours after work.
It arrives on January 29th, but if you don’t want to wait that long for something to play, then Resident Evil Village is worth watching with the next installment, Resident Evil Requiemreleased next month.
It’s obviously a survival horror game, so not one if you’re not a fan of scares – but still a highly enjoyable experience with some great set-piece moments. It can be played right now!
