New Games Coming to the Xbox Game Pass
Xbox Game Pass subscribers can look forward to numerous top-class games on the Xbox, PC, and Android devices in the second half of January. The first of these is the mystery thriller, Control from developer Remedy, and it's available on PC from January 21. In the game, you play the role of Jesse Faden who tracks down supernatural phenomena in a constantly changing building complex. It's a gripping, action-packed, third-person shooter with a thrilling story.
More games come to the Xbox Game Pass on January 21. On PC, Xbox, and Android, the strategy game Desperados III, from Mimimi Productions, is something tactical gamers should definitely check out.
The game Outer Wilds, one of the hottest indie games in recent years, is finally coming to Android devices as well.
Psycho-Horror and Gang Wars on the Xbox Game Pass
Things get creepy on January 28 with the horror game, The Medium by Bloober Team. In this acid trip, you slip into the skin of Marianna, who is a medium able to communicate with ghosts. I think I've seen this TV show before...let's hope this game is better than the show. In this game, you must solve a murder case at an abandoned resort, but what awaits you there, blurs the boundaries between reality and imagination.
If ghosts are too scary for you, then maybe try your hand at being a Japanese gangster! You'll definitely get your money's worth with the Yakuza Remastered Collection.
Strategy game fans can expect the first DLC for the cult classic Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition. The expansion, Lords of the West, has a lot to offer with two new civilizations and three new campaigns. This will be released on the Xbox Game Pass on January 26.
