  • NBA 2K17
  • Rime
  • Riptide Renegade GP

Halo Wars 2 is the most prolific addition to this month’s batch considering it launched in February 2017, almost one year ago. Although, Microsoft did add Gears of War 4 to the catalog a year after it released last December.

While Microsoft has continually added new games to the Xbox Game Pass library every month since the service began in June 2017, only one game in the service has been announced with a temporary lifespan. Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain, added last November, will be leaving the service on Jan. 31. No specific reason was given at the time for the three-month addition, so members only have two weeks left to enjoy Konami’s action-adventure stealth game.

Update: According to an official message from Microsoft sent to Xbox Live members, WWE 2K16 will be leaving the Xbox Game Pass service on Jan. 31 alongside Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain.
