Xbox Game Pass adds an extremely replayable and utterly hectic day-one title, while another one of its games leaves early access.
The January 25 Xbox Game Pass update is adding a new day-one title in the form of Go Mecha Ball. This hectic indie release promises to add to the already sizable collection of high-quality roguelike games on Xbox Game Pass.
January has been an amazing month for Xbox Game Pass subscribers, with Microsoft’s subscription library already adding 11 titles since the turn of the year. Two of those—Turnip Boy Robs a Bank and the massively successful survival game Palworld—have been day-one releases, with Go Mecha Bell now being on the verge of joining that group.
Developed by Whale Peak Games, the twin-stick shooter still hasn’t been added to Xbox Game Pass as of this writing, circa 7am ET / 4am PT. That’s hardly out of the ordinary for day-one games, whose debuts on Microsoft’s subscription service often coincide with their launch times on other platforms. In this particular instance, Go Mecha Ball is scheduled to hit Steam circa 11am ET / 8am PT, so that’s plausibly the time when Xbox Game Pass members will be able to start playing it as well.
