2022 may not have been the craziest year for big new releases, but Game Pass is still streaming every month. Here are some of the highlighted heavy hitters who joined the service in the first month of the year…
2022 may not have been a historic year when it came to high-profile new Xbox games, but 2022 was a pretty silly year for Game Pass subscribers. Originally, he planned to do this as a year-long wrap-up, but it turned out to be too much to cover. The service spans a series of short articles over the next few weeks. As expected, first in his January, Game Pass turned the year on its head by adding two incredible Triple-A trilogies and some of the best names in indie games in one month. I started with success. Start as you intend to continue, and all…
Spelunky 2
Looking back, Spelunky feels like one of the poster games for Xbox Live Arcade, alongside Braid and Super Meat Boy as games that were at the forefront of the indie uprising on 360. Arriving on the latest Xbox console felt a bit strange, but what better apology for locking up nearly 18 months late than being on Game Pass from day one? pile up its secrets and surprises on its ever-changing walls, making its unparalleled brand of dungeon crawling chaos harder than ever to master. Due to how difficult the list is for all but dedicated spelunkers, you can expect that ratio to be forever high.
Spelunky 2
Spelunky 2 builds on the unique randomized challenges that made the original a roguelike classic, offering a gigantic adventure designed to satisfy players new and old.
no one saves the world
Indie fans had a blast in January thanks to Game Pass. Developer He DrinkBox dropped an entirely different next game, Nobody Saves the World, into the library as a day one addition. This is an action RPG where you can morph your body into different shapes and transform into all sorts of crazy creatures and characters, then mix and match different feats and abilities to create your own destructible build. To do. This little giant killer knocked the latest Sonic game out of Game of the Year. Some might think Game Pass just pushed the numbers up, but try this unique adventure for yourself. Make sure you can easily give the Sega mascot a decent fight on its own merits alone.

Game Pass has to cater to a large audience, so it’s not all roguelike or indie. To really offer a service that appeals to the mass market, you need to mix big names as well.

Danganronpa Trigger Happy Havoc
It’s hard to imagine too many people actively using the PlayStation Vita in 2022 (sorry, Kes), so it’s always nice to see a once-high-end exclusive coming to a modern platform. That’s it. Next, Soul Sacrifice Delta, please. At its core, the Danganronpa game is a stylish visual novel-style adventure centered around a killer game, unique in both the battle for survival and the ensuing courtroom battle that determines each character’s fate. It pits a cast of weird and wonderful high school students with talent against each other.

Get it… it’s been 12 months in service so it may not be too far away.
Mass Effect: Legendary Edition
Another big trilogy, this one only applies to Game Pass Ultimate subscribers because it’s actually not on Game Pass but on EA Play, but it’s an improved version of the three big BioWare RPGs on your subscription. We cannot ignore the value proposition contained in service like this. While many hardcore fans may have picked up the collection when he launched in 2021, many smart players likely knew to wait for the inevitable EA Play drop. And, released about eight months after its release, Commander Shepard’s Marvelous Space allowed us to relive his operas at a whole new level of sophistication and detail. .
Mass Effect™ Legendary Edition

death door
The team behind the indie gem Titan Souls really raised expectations in every way for the fantastic Death’s Door, an action-adventure with fast and fluid gameplay just like the first game. Improved arsenal of weapons and options. Our brave little raven friend goes on an adventure, forcibly claiming the souls of those who have rudely refused to die, making exploration of its diverse world important while centering on boss battles. If Tunic proves too difficult to fully enjoy, Death’s Door is a simpler take on a similar concept, albeit with the balance shifting more towards combat than riddles. It’s one of our favorite games of 2021 and it’s really cool to see it brought to a whole new audience six months after its release thanks to Game Pass It was a pleasure.
death door [Xbox]
Reaping the souls of the dead and beating the clock may be monotonous, but it’s an honest job for the crows. The work is brisk when your allotted soul is stolen, and you must track the frantic thief to a realm unaffected by death. There, creatures grow well beyond their lifespan, brimming with greed and power.
In the coming weeks, we’ll be revisiting the best Game Pass drops for each month of 2022. Which of these was your favorite Game Pass addition in January 2022? Or does the honor belong to something not mentioned here? Let us know below. We hope to see you next time!
