Microsoft has announced the second wave of Xbox Game Pass additions in 2024, covering the rest of January and the very beginning of February. Three big names headline this expansion of the library.

F1 23, the latest racing game by EA Sports and Codemasters, will join its predecessor on Game Pass, giving subscribers access to all drivers and cars from the 2023 Formula 1 and Formula 2 seasons. You can follow the footsteps of Max Verstappen and repeat his cruise to the title or try and change history with another driver – perhaps even by leading your own team into the fight.

Palworld is an upcoming release that will be on Xbox Game Pass on Day 1 and has people very excited. It’s a rather unabashed Pokémon-like that adds some heavy survival crafting elements to Game Freak’s recipe. Oh, and it allows you to equip your little monster buddies with guns. Or them as guns. Yeah, it’s a wild one, which is why trying it on Game Pass is a perfect solution for those who are unsure if they’ll like it or not.

Then there’s Persona 3 Reload, the latest remake for an entry into the iconic RPG series, which is going to deliver all the beloved gameplay mechanics and storylines of the original, but remade for modern systems.

Here’s the full schedule for Xbox Game Pass for the remainder of January and the start of February 2024:

  • Those Who Remain (Cloud, Console, and PC) – January 16
  • Turnip Boy Robs a Bank (Cloud, Console, and PC) – January 18
  • F1 23 (Console and PC) EA Play – January 18
  • Palworld (Cloud, Console, PC) – January 19
  • Go Mecha Ball (Cloud, Console, and PC) – January 25
  • Brotato (Cloud, Console, and PC) – January 30
  • Persona 3 Reload (Cloud, Console, and PC) – February 2
  • Anuchard (Cloud, Console, and PC) – February 6

Finally, Hitman: World of Assassination is leaving the library on January 31, 2024, so get those final hit jobs wrapped up smoothly or use your discount to purchase the game permanently.
