It’s business as usual for Xbox Game Pass as the game subscription service announced another bunch of new titles to start the year.

A total of eight games are coming to the service this month, including the action RPG Assassin’s Creed Valhalla and the Resident Evil 2 remake from 2019.

Like clockwork, Game Pass is also bidding farewell to several titles, most notably Grand Theft Auto 5. The blockbuster crime game is being removed just six months after it was added, despite the hype around GTA 6

You can find the full list of additions at the bottom of this list, alongside the titles leaving Game Pass.

The highlight this month is Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, which is the latest game from the storied franchise to be added to Game Pass following Assassin’s Creed Odyssey and Assassin’s Creed Origins.

Released in 2020, Valhalla rewinds the clock to the ninth century, when Vikings were pillaging their way into the British Isles. Praised for its vast open world, the game also features brutal combat and a sprawling skill tree that should satisfy RPG fans.
