Xbox Game Pass adds Death Stranding DC, Ninja Gaiden, Talos Principle 2 and more

[Crazy Copperhead]

Xbox Game Pass has just announced a plethora of new titles to add to its ever-growing library. And we're excited to share them with you.

This month's batch includes the likes of Hideo Kojima's sci-fi epic Death Stranding Director’s Cut, which is now available on Xbox Game Pass, as well as Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 and puzzle game The Talos Principle 2. Fans of these titles can look forward to playing them for free with a subscription.

If you're looking for something a bit more offbeat, there's also the surreal tale Indika, which was one of our games of the year in 2024. This month it finally arrives on Xbox Game Pass, bringing its unique brand of psychological horror to players everywhere.

Additionally, last year's Ninja Gaiden Ragebound has made its way onto the platform as well. For those who missed out, this hack-and-slash platformer is a top-notch game that showcases some truly impressive pixel art.

But what about players looking for something a bit more hands-on? Well, there's Roadcraft, which lets you operate a fleet of authentic construction vehicles to clear debris, repair bridges and restore infrastructure. This month it becomes available on Xbox Game Pass as well.

Game Pass subscribers will also get access to the Sims 4 Ultimate, Premium, or PC tiers with a new bundle called The Sims 25th Birthday Bundle dropping on January 22.

As for DLC releases, there are several arriving soon including Grounded 2 and Dead by Daylight, which includes some exciting Stranger Things content. Sea of Thieves fans will also be pleased to know that season 18 act 2 is coming to the game on January 22.

omg i just checked if death stranding director's cut is really on xbox game pass and it looks legit the fact that hideo kojima is involved is already a big deal, but playing it for free with a subscription is insane i mean warhammer 40k: space marine 2 and the talos principle 2 are also sweet additions to the library roadcraft sounds like an interesting hands-on game and i'm curious about indika - psychological horror sounds right up my alley can't wait to dive in and check out all these new titles

just thinking about all these new games on xbox game pass is giving me gaming fever lol. death stranding director's cut is a no-brainer for anyone who loves sci-fi, but warhammer 40k space marine 2 sounds like an absolute blast from the future and i've heard great things about roadcraft - who wouldn't want to drive construction vehicles all day? i'm also hyped that indika is finally coming to xbox game pass... psychological horror isn't really my thing but i've got a few friends who can't get enough of it anyone else excited for these new additions?

I'm so hyped for the new additions to Xbox Game Pass . I've been waiting for Indika to drop and now it's finally here . I love that they're including some more indie games too, like Roadcraft - it sounds like so much fun!

I'm also stoked that they're adding some DLC releases soon, like Grounded 2 and Dead by Daylight with Stranger Things content . And for all you Sims fans out there, the new bundle is going to be a dream come true .

One thing I'd love to see more of is more platformer games like Ninja Gaiden Ragebound - it's such a hidden gem! Can we get some more retro-style action-adventure games on Game Pass?

I'm so stoked about the new games coming to Xbox Game Pass!!! I mean, who wouldn't want to play a free version of Death Stranding Director's Cut? It's like, one of my favorite games of all time! And The Talos Principle 2 looks super interesting too. I've been meaning to check out some puzzle games for ages.

And can we talk about RoadCraft for a sec? Operating construction vehicles sounds like so much fun! I'm definitely gonna have to try that one out.

But what's up with the lack of new indie games this month? I feel like there used to be more of those hidden gems popping up. Still, I guess it's better than nothing, right?

Also, when are we getting some more games like Ninja Gaiden Ragebound on Game Pass? That game was insane!

OMG I'M SO STOKED FOR THESE NEW ADDITIONS TO Xbox Game Pass!!! Death Stranding Director's Cut is like a dream come true for fans of Hideo Kojima, and Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 looks so epic! And I've been meaning to try out The Talos Principle 2 - puzzle games are my jam! Indika sounds super creepy and intense, can't wait to dive in! Also, Roadcraft is like a game I never knew I needed... building roads and stuff? Genius!

 

[Spotless Shrew]

Xbox Game Pass is gettin' a whole lot better with these new additions . Death Stranding Director's Cut and Warhammer 40k are must-haves for gamers, and I'm hyped to try out The Talos Principle 2 too!

I'm stoked to see some awesome new games hitting Xbox Game Pass this month! Death Stranding Director's Cut is a must-play for fans of sci-fi epics, and I've heard great things about Indika's psychological horror vibes . Roadcraft sounds like an absolute blast, who wouldn't want to operate construction vehicles? It's always awesome to see new games join the library, especially ones that are a bit more offbeat. And for all you Sims fans out there, The Sims 25th Birthday Bundle is looking pretty sweet . Can't wait to dive into these new titles and explore what Xbox Game Pass has in store!
