Xbox Game Pass subscribers will be able to play Lonely Mountains: Snow Riders on January 21st, the day it launches on Xbox and Steam.

Megagon Industries has announced a January 21, 2025, release date for Lonely Mountains: Snow Riders. The indie developer and publisher has also confirmed that the Steam and Xbox release will be available on Game Pass for console at launch.

Xbox has announced more games coming to Game Pass this month, including Lonely Mountain: Snow Riders, a new Sniper Elite game, Orcs Must Die! Deathtrap, and Citizen Sleeper 2.

Microsoft has revealed that additional games will arrive in Xbox Game Pass in January for console, PC, and Xbox Cloud Gaming, alongside some games leaving the subscription.

Xbox has revealed a bunch more Xbox Game Pass Games for January some of which are new to the entire platform and others which are new to Xbox Game Pass Standard (the new lower tier). The big new titles are Sniper Elite: Resistance and Citizen Sleeper 2 which will both launch on Xbox Game Pass.
