Wave 1 of January 2025 Game Pass games has been announced. The games are Diablo, My Time at Sandrock, Robin Hood – Sherwood Builders, Rolling Hills, Lightyear Frontier, and EA Sports UFC 5. On top of these 6 games, Road 96 returns today as well. The last few months, Game Pass has included at least one Activision Blizzard game, so having Diablo coming to the service isn’t that surprising. There are rumors that a Call of Duty: World at War is going to hit the service in May and that no other COD will come before that. If it’s true, then assuming this trend continue, we could see more Diablo, Crash Bandicoot, or Spyro pop up before then. There are also persistent rumors since August that Microsoft has secured a deal to bring Marvel’s Activision games back to the store and presumably Game Pass. This would mean that Amazing Spider-Man 2, Web of Shadows, Deadpool, and more would be coming back. These games were previously delisted and the only way to get them is through physical copies of the game. Some copies, like Amazing Spider-Man 2 are listed for $99 or more for the Xbox One version of the game. As always, take these rumors with a grain of salt.
Are you excited for these first Game Pass games of 2025? Is there anything you’re hoping for in Wave 2 or beyond? Let us know in the comments.
