If you've just got an Xbox or PC, there's plenty to be excited about, let's put it that way.Citizen Sleeper 2 could be one of the best games of 2025(Image: Jump Over The Age)January will see Carrion and Road 96 return to Xbox Game Pass on January 2 and January 7 respectively, but there are three new titles arriving too.They're all slated to close out the month, so be sure to clear some space on your hard drive, because Eternal Strands arrives on January 28, Sniper Elite: Resistance on January 30, and Citizen Sleeper 2: Starward Vector on January 31.Kicking off with Eternal Strands, players can step into the role of a magic-wielding weaver called Brynn in a colourful world.
