/
Xbox has revealed wave 2 of PC and Xbox Game Pass titles for January 2026. This batch features 7 titles.
Xbox and PC Game Pass for January 2026 Wave 2 - Notable Picks for this Month
The second wave of games for January is big for Warhammer 40K fans as those subscribed get Space Marine 2, a fantastic third-person shooter that I believe can easily make a newcomer a fan of the Warhammer 40K universe.
We then have Death Stranding: Director’s Cut, a sci-fi action game that’s very difficult to describe, as there’s nothing like it. You deliver goods and packages to various towns and locations while going through hazardous terrain with time-aging rain, deadly ghostly apparitions, and the terrain itself, such as rocky slopes, rivers, steep mountains, and more. It’s worth checking out for those new to Hideo Kojima’s crazy series.
Here’s the full list.

Octopath Traveler 0 is a mixed bag, with some genuinely likeable characters and engaging story arcs, alongside others that fall flat. You then have a final act that had me banging my head against the wall. Still, its satisfying combat system, strong party synergy, and striking visual style make it an enjoyable JRPG overall.
