Xbox Game Pass Unveils Top Strategy Games for January 2025
Quick Links
The console market once lacked robust strategy game offerings, with a few exceptions and unsuccessful attempts (like StarCraft's awkward Nintendo 64 debut). However, numerous titles now bring strategic gameplay to living room consoles, particularly on Xbox.
Xbox Game Pass provides a diverse selection for armchair commanders. Whether you prefer managing vast galactic empires or directing quirky invertebrate bomb-slingers, Game Pass caters to various strategic preferences.
Tactical games, while technically a separate genre, are included due to their strategic similarities.
Updated January 5, 2025 by Mark Sammut: The new year brings anticipation for 2025's gaming releases. Xbox Game Pass appears poised for a strong year, building on its 2024 success. While not always the focus, new strategy games are expected, with some confirmed titles. Commandos: Origins and Football Manager 25 are potential additions, particularly the former. In the meantime, subscribers can explore a strategy game added in December 2024. See below for details.
