As we step into the new year, Xbox Game Pass subscribers have a lot to look forward to! Microsoft’s subscription service continues to deliver a stellar lineup of games, ranging from indie gems to blockbuster titles. Here’s a closer look at five exciting games joining the Game Pass library soon:
Carrion
Described as a “reverse horror” game, Carrion lets players step into the shoes—or rather, the tendrils—of a monstrous creature escaping a research facility. Developed by Phobia Game Studio, this unique title flips the script on traditional horror games. Instead of being the prey, you are the predator, hunting down scientists and soldiers in a bid for freedom. The game’s pixel-art style and fluid gameplay have earned it critical acclaim, and it’s a must-play for fans of unconventional horror.
Road 96
Get ready for a road trip unlike any other. Road 96 is an emotionally charged narrative adventure where every choice matters. Set in a dystopian country on the brink of revolution, players must navigate procedural storylines, make difficult decisions, and form connections with an array of unique characters. Developed by DigixArt, Road 96 combines beautiful visuals with compelling storytelling, making it an unforgettable journey.
Sniper Elite: Resistance
The Sniper Elite series is back with a bang—or a silent shot. In Sniper Elite: Resistance, players return to the thrilling world of long-range combat and stealth tactics. Set during World War II, this entry introduces new mechanics like sabotage missions and dynamic environments that react to your actions. Whether you’re lining up the perfect shot or sneaking through enemy lines, this game offers plenty of heart-pounding action.
Avowed
Obsidian Entertainment’s Avowed is one of the most anticipated RPGs of the year. Set in the expansive world of Eora, familiar to fans of Pillars of Eternity, this first-person role-playing game promises deep lore, immersive storytelling, and engaging combat. With its rich magic system and vast open world, Avowed is shaping up to be a worthy contender for the RPG crown. If you love sprawling adventures with endless customization, this is one to watch.
Atomfall
Step into the future with Atomfall, a sci-fi action game that combines fast-paced combat with a gripping narrative. Set in a world recovering from a cataclysmic event, players must uncover the secrets of a mysterious technology while battling rogue AIs and rival factions. With stunning visuals, seamless gameplay, and a hauntingly beautiful soundtrack, Atomfall is poised to be a standout experience for sci-fi fans.
