A recently launched release date trailer confirmed that Xbox Game Pass will be adding another day-one game called Go Mecha Ball to its January 2024 lineup. The latest confirmation news comes weeks before Microsoft officially announces all the new Xbox Game Pass games for January 2024.
Notably, this is not the only confirmed game coming to Xbox Game Pass. Other game release date announcements have leaked some sneak previews of what fans to expect in the coming year.
Go Mecha Ball confirmed on Xbox Game Pass in January 2024?
Go Mecha Ball was recently leaked to be a part of the Xbox Game Pass in January 2024. Interestingly, it becomes the second day one game confirmed for Xbox Game Pass in January 2024. Go Mecha Ball joins the lineup on January 25, 2023.
The game is a twin-stick shooter title including roguelike elements. Go Mecha Ball features some platforming elements too. And looking at what is known about the game so far, experts suggest that the game has a lot of potential. Anyone curious about Go Mecha Ball can try it through their Xbox Game Pass subscription beginning January 25, 2024.
The players get a chance to make their way through arcade-style levels, with the help of pinball-style physics mixed with an arsenal of fatal weapons. They must defeat waves of enemy bots, fight big bosses, and upgrade their mech between runs.
Which games are coming to Xbox Game Pass in January 2024?
So far, a couple of day-one games have been confirmed via release date trailers for Xbox Game Pass in January 2024. Before Go Mecha Ball was confirmed for Xbox Game Pass the other title was confirmed was Turnip Boy Robs a Bank. The game will be joining Xbox Game Pass on January 15, 2023.
Turnip Boy Robs a Bank is a 2D game of the roguelite genre. It draws some inspiration from classic Legend of Zelda titles. The original Turnip Boy game was once featured on Xbox Game Pass. Thus, it is not surprising to see Turnip Boy Robs a Bank make its debut on Microsoft‘s service as a day-one game.
Notably, Go Mecha Ball and Turnip Boy Robs a Bank are not the only 2024 Xbox Game Pass games with confirmed release dates. Xbox Game Pass subscribers can also expect Persona 3 Reload to join Xbox Game Pass later on February 2. Similarly, Open Roads may also arrive on the platform on February 22, 2023. Later in the year, Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes and Manor Lords, are also expected to join Game Pass on April 23 and April 26, respectively.
Besides these confirmed release dates, other games likely coming to Xbox Game Pass games in 2024 don’t seem to have specific release dates yet. These include Lightyear Frontier which has a release window of March 2024, and STALKER 2: Heart of Chornobyl, which is aiming for a Q1 2024 release. Similarly, games like Soulslike Another Crab’s Treasure, Harold Halibut, Still Wakes the Deep, Obsidian’s Avowed, and Ninja Theory’s Hellblade 2 are also expected to grace the service.
