Xbox Game Pass Adds Two New Games, Including a Day One Release
The January 18 Xbox Game Pass update will introduce two additional games to the service: F1 23 and Turnip Boy Robs a Bank. These releases mark the second expansion of Microsoft's subscription catalog since the turn of the week, arriving just two days after Xbox Game Pass added two acclaimed horror games in the form of Those Who Remain and the Resident Evil 2 remake.
The ever-growing Xbox service has already expanded five other times since the turn of the month.

Its follow-up promises to expand on the original formula by combining roguelite—not to be confused with roguelike—elements with another absurd setting that will provide its titular character with new opportunities to commit even more felonies.
F1 23 and Turnip Boy Robs a Bank are yet to be added to Xbox Game Pass as of this writing, circa 6am ET.
Apart from this unhinged indie release, today's Xbox Game Pass update is also catering to racing fans with the addition of F1 23. The latest entry in the long-running sports series originally hit the market in mid-June 2023, debuting to glowing reviews. Its audience reception was equally stellar, as underlined by the fact that the Steam version of F1 23 presently has 'Very Positive' reviews, based on over 11,000 user opinions.
Developed by the racing veterans at Codemasters, F1 23 introduces a wide array of novelties compared to its predecessor, including
