Xbox Game Pass January 2026 additions and removals

More coming and going.

Xbox Game Pass January 2026 additions and removals are starting to be detailed by Microsoft and its partners. Here’s what’s coming and going throughout the month.

And just so you know what’s up, here’s a post about how Xbox Game Pass has changed of late.

Last month: December 2025  >  This month: January 2026  >  Next month: February 2026

Game Pass is a multi-tiered system; Xbox Game Pass Essentials offers the least, Xbox Game Pass Premium has more, but less than the behemoth that is Xbox Game Pass Ultimate.

Those subscribed to Xbox Game Pass Ultimate have access to Xbox Game Pass and PC Game Pass alongside access to the EA Play Vault and Ubisoft+ Classics as well. Finally, all tiers have access Xbox Cloud Streaming on supported devices.

Below, you’ll find the titles you can soon expect (or in some cases, lose) on Xbox Game Pass, PC Game Pass and Xbox Cloud Streaming.

We’ll be adding to the lists below as more games are revealed.

Steve Wright

Steve's the owner and Editor-in-Chief of Stevivor.com, the country’s leading independent video games outlet. Steve arrived in Australia back in 2001 on what was meant to be a three-month working holiday before deciding to emigrate and, eventually, becoming a citizen.

Stevivor is a combination of ‘Steve’ and ‘Survivor’, which made more sense back in 2001 when Jeff Probst was up in Queensland. The site started as Steve’s travel blog before transitioning over into video games.

Aside from video games, Steve has interests in hockey and Star Trek, playing the former and helping to cover video games about the latter on TrekMovie.com. By day, Steve works as the communications manager of the peak body representing Victorians as they age.
