As we head to the middle of January, we are starting to see momentum build with new releases. For subscribers to Xbox Game Pass this includes three new games coming to the library, including one giant Ubisoft addition in the form of Star Wars Outlaws. Read on to find out more about the three games available this week, January 12-16.
Quarantine Zone: The Last Check – PC Game Pass, January 12
“Quarantine Zone: The Last Check puts you in charge of a critical checkpoint during a zombie outbreak.
Armed with advanced screening tools and your own instincts, you must decide who gets through and who stays behind. One wrong choice could let the infection slip past your post.
But holding the line is only the beginning. You’ll need to manage scarce resources, reinforce defenses, and keep your camp alive as chaos intensifies with each passing day.“
Star Wars Outlaws – Xbox and PC, January 13
“Experience the first-ever open world Star Wars™ action-adventure game and explore distinct locations across the galaxy, both iconic and new. Risk it all as scoundrel Kay Vess, seeking freedom and the means to start a new life. Fight, steal, and outwit your way through the galaxy’s crime syndicates as you join the galaxy’s most wanted. If you’re willing to take the risk, the galaxy is full of opportunity.“

With the everypony working together, you can stop the unstable magic that’s turning phones into pizzas, breaking gravity, and splashing colors everywhere!“
