The fierce competition between Xbox, PlayStation, and Nintendo is still going on in full throttle. Sony’s PS5 currently holds the lead, but Microsoft wields a strong advantage. While the Sony side is currently leading the race thanks to the PS5, Microsoft has a powerful weapon in its hands. The company has a service called Game Pass, which is like Netflix but for games. It gives you a vast library of games to play for a small monthly fee. Moreover this service is available on PC as well. Recently, Microsoft unveiled the upcoming January additions to the Game Pass library, and once you check out these games, you might find yourself eager to grab an Xbox.

Microsoft adds new games to the Xbox Game Pass library every month and sometimes removes certain games as well. For instance, we previously mentioned that GTA V would no longer be available on the service. However, don’t worry because Microsoft is committed to making up for this loss. In January, some fantastic games will be added to the Xbox Game Pass. Among these, the most notable ones are undoubtedly Resident Evil 2 and Assassin’s Creed Valhalla.
