Xbox Game Pass January 2026 Wave 2 New Games
The Wave 2 lineup will kick things off with Death Stranding Director’s Cut. The game was released in 2019 and marked the first Hideo Kojima video game since his split from Konami. It introduced gamers to a whole new universe and a post-apocalyptic world set in the United States. Our protagonist, Sam Porter Bridges, is a courier who delivers supplies to isolated colonies and also helps connect them with a wireless network. However, the antagonist wants to eliminate the remaining bit of humanity on the planet. The game received its much-awaited sequel, Death Stranding 2: On The Beach, last year.
Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 is the newest title in the popular Warhammer series. It is a direct sequel to Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine, released over a decade ago. This is a third-person shooter with some elements of hack and slash. It offers both single-player and multiplayer support in the campaign mode. Apart from the campaign, the game has various modes that can be solo or online with other players.
