Xbox Game Pass adding Frostpunk, Sword Art Online, and Tekken 7 to consoles in January

Xbox Game Pass kicked off the New Year by adding Grand Theft Auto 5. Now the team behind the Xbox One game console’s subscription plan is unveiling the next batch of new additions, including a Tekken title and a hit PC strategy game.

First up on Jan. 9 is Frostpunk: Console Edition. First announced in 2016, Frostpunk was a hit on Steam, blending city-building mechanics with a grim dystopian future. The game was a commercial as well as a critical success, and works surprisingly well on a controller thanks to its radial design.

Next up is Sword Art Online: Fatal Bullet. The third-person shooter action role-playing game was first released in Feb. 2018. Based on the anime of the same name, the action of the game takes place inside a fictional game called Gun Sale Online. It’s the direct successor to Sword Art Online: Hollow Realization.

Rounding out the slate of new releases is Tekken 7, arriving on Jan. 16. Released in 2017, Polygon reviewed the fighting game favorably, calling its characters “fluid and memorable.”

Of course, just like the movies on Disney Plus, games don’t stay on Game Pass forever. Leaving this month are Lego City Undercover and Just Cause 3. Members can receive a 20% discount on those games if they’d like to buy a digital license outright and keep them in their collection. You can read the full update at the official Xbox blog.
