Xbox players with Game Pass subscriptions have much to look forward to in 2024 as the service kicks off with some remarkable additions. Two massive games, Assassin’s Creed Valhalla and Figment, have recently landed on Game Pass, offering players an exciting start to the year.

Assassin’s Creed Valhalla is the first major addition to Game Pass, an epic adventure set in the Viking age. Released in 2020, this installment in Ubisoft’s renowned franchise takes players on a journey as Eivor, a fierce Viking warrior. 

Players will lead their troops, wield powerful weapons, and navigate the Dark Ages in a captivating open-world environment. With its rich storytelling, immersive world, and engaging gameplay, Assassin’s Creed Valhalla is a must-play for fans of the series and newcomers alike.

Figment: A whimsical journey into the mind

Figment, developed by Bedtime Digital Games, is a delightful and eccentric action-adventure game that combines music, combat, and puzzles. Previously released on other platforms, Figment has now made its way to Xbox, and it’s well worth the wait. 

Join Dusty and his companion, Piper, on a surreal quest through the mind, where nothing happens as expected. With its unique art style and combination of combat and brain-teasing puzzles, Figment offers players a whimsical and memorable gaming experience.

The excitement doesn’t stop with these two additions, as Game Pass subscribers can look forward to more titles coming their way later in January:

Super Mega Baseball 4 and We Happy Few (January 11th): Sports enthusiasts can enjoy Super Mega Baseball 4, while fans of dark and twisted narratives can delve into We Happy Few, offering a diverse range of gaming experiences.

Those Who Remain and Resident Evil 2 (January 16th): Horror enthusiasts will have their hearts pounding with the arrival of Those Who Remain and the iconic Resident Evil 2, making for a spine-chilling gaming month on Game Pass.

Games leaving Game Pass

As is customary, some games will depart from the Game Pass service in mid-January (15th). Xbox players will need to bid farewell to the following titles:

Garden Story: This charming adventure game will no longer be available on Game Pass, so if you haven’t played it yet, now’s the time to do so.

MotoGP 22: Motorcycle racing fans will need to find other ways to satisfy their racing cravings as MotoGP 22 leaves the service.

Persona 4 Golden and Persona 3 Portable: Fans of the Persona series will have to say goodbye to Persona 4 Golden and Persona 3 Portable on Game Pass.
