Microsoft reveals the Wave 2 Xbox Game Pass lineup for January 2025, which includes eight new titles and five XGP Standard releases.

On January 31, Xbox Game Pass will remove Death's Door and five other titles. Death's Door, a highly-rated indie game, combines Soulslike elements with Zelda-style gameplay. Darkest Dungeon is another well-reviewed game leaving Game Pass in January 2025.

While the PC, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S versions of My Time at Sandrock have been available as part of the Game Pass Ultimate catalog since the summer of 2025, Microsoft made it available to Game Pass Standard subscribers earlier this week. It’s also on PS4, PS5, and Nintendo Switch.

With the massive deals launched through Game Pass, some releases lose up to 80% of profits they may have earned otherwise.

There is no official word of older Call of Duty games being added to Xbox Game Pass this year, but according to a fairly reliable industry insider, especially when it comes to Xbox, older Call of Duty games are coming “around May.”

Xbox Game Pass gives you access to hundreds of titles, including new releases like Indiana Jones and the Great Circle on Xbox consoles, PCs, phones and portable gaming devices. The popular Microsoft subscription service starts at $10 a month,
