New Xbox Game Pass January 2023 releases: Free games on console, PC & Cloud and everything leaving

January 2023 is approaching, so what is Xbox Game Pass granting players to kick off the new year? Here’s everything coming and going from Xbox Game Pass in January 2023.

Xbox Game Pass is a useful feature for Xbox players that allows them access to hundreds of free titles for a monthly fee. Now, they can play these games from the comfort of their phone, PC, and Xbox — meaning more titles are available for more gamers. January 2023 is already looking great for such availability, even if a few titles are leaving.

While December saw the hilarious addition of High on Life and the musical shooter Metal Hellsinger, January looks to be equally as strong, bringing back some nostalgic hits along with a few new experiences. Here’s everything coming to Game Pass in January 2023.
