Microsoft announced the first round of new Xbox Game Pass games for January 2024, which includes Resident Evil 2 Remake. It’s one of eight games joining the service in the first half of January, including one game releasing via the EA Play service.
Here are all the initial Game Pass releases for January 2024:

The remake of Resident Evil 2 originally released in 2019 for the PC, Xbox One and PS4. It was a remake of the 1998 PlayStation game which featured the debut of Leon Kennedy and Claire Redfield. The RE2 remake has since been followed by remakes of Resident Evil 3 and Resident Evil 4. While neither of these has been included in the Xbox Game Pass library, Resident Evil 7 was temporarily available through the service in 2022.
As well as the new additions, a few games will be leaving Xbox Game Pass this month. Persona 3 Portable and Persona 4 Golden were already confirmed to be leaving on January 15, 2024. Garden Story and Moto GP 22 will also be removed on the same date. Grand Theft Auto V will also be removed from the console library again on January 5, 2024.
More games are likely to be announced for Xbox Game Pass in the second half of January 2024.
