Microsoft console loyalists have been treated to a good year with Xbox Game Pass in 2023 packed full of massive bangers such as Lies of P, Forza Motorsport, and Starfield. Next year isn’t starting off so hot and stuffed as of yet, but there are still some really exciting games coming toward the beginning of the year. Only a couple of games are confirmed for Xbox Game Pass January 2024 as of writing, but there are more titles official up until the end of April.
Before the new year comes about, make sure to take advantage of everything happening in December. Studio Wildcard has confirmed the official start date for ARK Survival Ascended Winter Wonderland 2023, meanwhile, if you also play on PC, Epic Games is giving away 17 free mystery games with Destiny 2 Legacy Collection available to grab until December 20th. As for more sales on PC, don’t forget about the start date for the Steam Winter Sale 2023 bargains.
Whether you are on PC or console, 2024 promises to be another amazing year of game releases. Xbox Game Pass is available on both computer and console, and some of the January 2024 releases are already confirmed.
Xbox Game Pass January 2024
The only games confirmed for Xbox Game Pass January 2024 so far are as follows:
- Turnip Boys Rob A Bank – Jan 18th
- Go Mecha Ball – Jan 25th
These are the only additions confirmed as of December 18th. Microsoft will announce the full lineup towards the beginning of January so there will be more than just two additions to play. Turnip Boys Rob A Bank is a day-one addition that looks really fun. It has a really unique throwback visual art style, and it is a single-player adventure with an emphasis on comedy.
Go Mecha Ball is also another day-one addition for next year. It also has stunning visuals with the onus on style rather than graphical prowess, and it is a twin-stick shooter with roguelite elements. You play as a mech who can walk and shoot as well as turn into a rolling ball of speed. Rolling through four different worlds, your goal is to defeat enemies and overcome varied obstacles and puzzles.
Xbox Game Pass Q1 2024 games list
Below is a list of games confirmed for Xbox Game Pass Q1 2024:

These are all the releases with specific launch dates/months for Xbox Game Pass in 2024. Looking at the above list, Persona 3 Reload really stands out. If you’ve never experienced the original PS2 classic, then you’re in for a treat as it’s completely remade with visuals on par with Persona 5, and the story and characters are as equally incredible as Persona 4 and 5, too.
Lightyear Frontier also looks amazing as an open-world sci-fi farming simulator, and Eiyuden Chronicle Hundred Heroes is another excellent day-one RPG to anticipate. Of course, there are way more games confirmed for 2024 but without specific launch dates or months. Hellblade Senua’s Saga 2 is scheduled for this year, S.T.A.L.K.E.R 2 Heart of Chernobyl as well, and the release date for ARK 2 was delayed to the end of 2024. Yes, it truly promises to be another excellent year for Microsoft subscribers.
