In a surprising turn of events, Xbox Game Pass is shaking off a lackluster few months and finally stepping up its game! This January, subscribers can rejoice as the subscription service is bringing in more titles than it's losing—a breath of fresh air for avid gamers seeking enticing new adventures.

However, it's never easy to say goodbye, and this month is no exception. In just over a week, six games will vanish from Xbox Game Pass, and while none may have made the headlines recently, they all have their unique charm that players will surely miss.

Among the titles disappearing is Darkest Dungeon, a critically acclaimed indie game that has garnered an impressive rating of 85 on Metacritic. Known for its punishing difficulty, players must navigate through treacherous dungeons with a team vulnerable to various afflictions—stress, depression, and even broken limbs! This roguelike RPG requires not just skill but a strategic mindset, as the loss of a team member means they are gone for good, making every decision count.

Also worth noting is Death’s Door, which boasts a remarkable rating of 89 on Metacritic. This whimsical, top-down action-adventure game puts you in the shoes of a crow tasked with collecting souls. A spiritual successor to Acid Nerve's previous title, Titan Souls, it combines charming visuals with engaging puzzle mechanics reminiscent of classic Zelda games.

The clock is ticking, with all six games set to depart Xbox Game Pass by January 31. If you're a fast gamer or seeking shorter experiences, there's still a chance to dive into these compelling worlds in the limited time remaining.

Here’s the complete list of games leaving Xbox Game Pass at the end of January: - Anuchard – Cloud, console, & PC - Broforce Forever – Cloud, console, & PC - Darkest Dungeon – Cloud, console, & PC - Death’s Door – Cloud, console, & PC - Maquette – Cloud, console, & PC - Serious Sam: Siberian Mayhem – Cloud, console, & PC
