Microsoft is refreshing the Xbox Game Pass catalog as early as the first half of 2026. Meanwhile, the company confirms which games are joining and which are leaving the subscription service this January. Therefore, Brazilian subscribers can expect new titles for console, PC, and even for playing via cloud. So, this year’s initial selection promises to please both fans of major productions and independent games, maintaining the cost-benefit that made the service a success in Brazil.
As a result of this monthly update, some games have been available since the first days of January. However, other titles are scheduled to arrive in the coming weeks. Additionally, it’s good to stay alert, as some games will be leaving the catalog soon. Thanks to the subscription model, players can try a wide variety without a high initial investment per game, which has become an important differentiator for the Brazilian audience seeking savings.
What to expect from the new games
Among the new additions, the January 2026 lineup on Game Pass brings varied experiences. The list includes everything from action adventures to independent titles that promise to surprise. Although details about each game are still being released, the expectation is for a solid offering to start the year. In other words, Microsoft’s strategy seems focused on keeping the catalog always fresh and attractive to retain and win new subscribers in the domestic market.
To not miss anything, players should access the Xbox Game Pass app or the console to see the complete list and activate downloads. The advantage of the service, after all, lies precisely in discovering games you might not otherwise try. With more announcements expected throughout the month, the January 2026 Game Pass catalog reinforces its role as one of the best options for those who play on Xbox, PC, or even on mobile via cloud gaming.
