Microsoft have revealed the lineup of games being added to the Xbox Game Pass catalog this month to kick off 2021, and there’s plenty of solid titles to check out across Game Pass on console, PC, and cloud. On Xbox Game Pass for console and cloud, Microsoft are adding the recently released action RPG, Torchlight 3; last year’s season update to Konami’s football sim, eFootball PES 2021; and acclaim indie adventure title, The Little Acre. Meanwhile, NetherRealm Studios’ superhero fighter Injustice 2 is coming to Xbox Game Pass across all platforms- console, PC, and cloud.

Where Xbox Game Pass for PC’s exclusive January lineup is concerned, there’s action roguelite title Neoverse, one of the best narrative aventure games out there in What Remains in Edith Finch, and the indie JRPG YIIK: A Postmodern RPG. 

PES 2021, Injustice 2, and The Little Acre will be coming to the service on January 7, while Neoverse, What Remains of Edith Finch, Torchlight 3, and YIIK will be added on January 14.

Microsoft had a fairly decent presence at The Game Awards this year with The Initiative revealing its reboot of Perfect Dark at last. It also showcased a new trailer for Xbox Game Pass with current and upcoming titles. Sure, The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim – Special Edition coming to the service is great but more importantly, The Yakuza Remastered Collection and Yakuza 6: The Song of Life have also been confirmed.

This means that remasters of Yakuza 3, 4 and 5 along with Yakuza 6 will be playable on Xbox platforms and PC for the first time. But that’s not all – they’ll also be available on Steam as per an official tweet. The Yakuza Remastered Collection arrives on January 28th 2021 for the platform (with each game also being sold separately) while Yakuza 6: The Song of Life arrives on March 25th 2021.

Other upcoming titles for Game Pass include Neoverse, Killer Queen Black (for console), Cyber Shadow and Among Us (for PC). The Medium is also out on January 28th 2021 for Xbox Series X/S and PC players. Stay tuned for more details in the coming weeks.
