Microsoft has now confirmed the next big games coming to Xbox Game Pass for console, PC and Xbox Cloud Gaming in January.
Some big names coming to Xbox Game Pass at the end of January, including Persona 3 Portable and Persona 4 Golden, Monster Hunter Rise and Inkulinati.
The games are on all iterations of GPU unless stated otherwise. Persona 3 Portable and Persona 4 Golden go live on 19 January, ahead of Monster Hunter Rise on 20 January, and Inkulinati (only on cloud & console) on 31 January.
This follows several huge releases in Mortal Shell: Enhanced Edition, Stranded Deep, and the Valheim: Mistlands Biome Update (PC only), which were added to Game Pass earlier in the month.
Xbox Game Pass is just getting better and better, with quite a few big releases planned this year. It might be worth checking out an Xbox All Access deal if you don’t have a console.
These include the Vampire shooter Redfall, Skyrim’s space-age sibling Starfield, and quite possibly Star Wars Jedi: Survivor (as it will be on EA Play, eventually).
Here’s the games being added this month

Persona 3 Portable (Cloud, Console, and PC) – 19 January

Persona 4 Golden (Cloud, Console, and PC) – 19 January
Experience a coming-of-age story that sets the protagonist and his friends on a journey kickstarted by a chain of serial murders. The world-renowned Persona 4 Golden promises unforgettable adventures, meaningful bonds, and heartwarming experiences shared together with friends.

As ever, with bringing in new titles, it sadly means some need to be removed. The following games will leave Game Pass on January 15:
- Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc

- We Happy Few
- Windjammers 2
