Xbox Game Pass adds Control, The Medium, Yakuza Remastered and more this month

We've officially entered the second half of January, which means it is time for another Xbox Game Pass announcement. We've already had one batch of games hitting the service on the 7th and 14th of the month. Now we have a new batch of games coming on the 21st and 28th, headlined by Control, The Medium and Yakuza: Remastered Collection.

On the 21st of January, the following games will be joining Xbox Game Pass:

  • Control (PC)
  • Desperados III (PC, Console, Android)
  • Donut County (PC, Console, Android)
  • Outer Wilds (Android)

On the 26th of January, Cyber Shadow will be coming to Xbox Game Pass across PC, Console and Android. That brings us up to the 28th of January, when Xbox Series X/S and PC exclusive ‘The Medium' launches – the first day-one Game Pass game of the year. Alongside The Medium, we'll also be getting the Yakuza Remastered Collection on Game Pass accessible through PC, Xbox One/Series consoles and Android. The Remastered Collection includes touched up versions of Yakuza 3, Yakuza 4 and Yakuza 5.

Unfortunately to make room for new games, older titles have to be cycled out. On the 29th of January, the following titles will be leaving Game Pass:

  • Death Squared (Console)
  • Death’s Gambit (PC)
  • Final Fantasy XV (Console and PC)
  • Fishing Sim World: Pro Tour (Console and PC)
  • Gris (PC)
  • Indivisible (Console and PC)
  • Reigns: Game of Thrones (PC)
  • Sea Salt (Console and PC)

In a couple of weeks time, we'll get to see what the Xbox Game Pass team has in-store for us in February.

KitGuru Games: Predicting the Next Half a Decade of Call of Duty Releases

Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790) famously once said: “The three absolutes in life are death, taxes and a new Call of Duty coming out every single year”. Sure enough, the US founding father has yet to be proven wrong, with Activision and a dozen studios having ensured that come the tail-end of any given year, there will be a new COD ready to release. And so, what can we expect from the franchise later this year? What about 2027, 2028 or even 2030? By looking back at the past two decades of Call of Duty games, their trends, progression and regression, I believe I can predict the next 5 years worth of annual COD entries.
