Warhammer 40K: Space Marine II and Death Stranding announced for Xbox Game Pass

The next wave of games coming to Xbox Game Pass has been revealed, and it brings in heavy hits like Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine II and Death Stranding Director's Cut.

Microsoft today unveiled the second wave of games that will be hitting its Xbox Game Pass subscription services to finish off January. The company has planned out a heavy list of games this time, which includes the co-op hit of 2024, Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine II, and even the Sony-published Hideo Kojima title Death Stranding Director’s Cut.

Following the addition of the original Final Fantasy from Square Enix during the last wave, this time, Final Fantasy II's updated version is incoming for all platforms too. The well-received side-scrolling Ninja Gaiden game, Ragebound, is also a part of the latest drops, making this a very well-stacked wave for subscribers.
