Happy New Year! We have the first wave of Game Pass titles coming our way. Decent update, with 11 games getting added to the Premium and Ultimate tiers, most of them shared across the two, one of them a Day 1 title. Interestingly enough, there are no DLC or Ultimate Perks updated. We'll have to see if this is the norm or if they'll move them to another article. Let's get into it!
Quotes (in italic) taken from the article linked above. Pay attention to the platforms for each game (Cloud, Console, and PC), as some titles won't be available for all of them. Some of the games in the article may have been covered in the previous wave. Games that are part of EA Play are only available to PC and Ultimate subscribers. Games marked as Game Preview are still in active development and this isn't the final version.
