Xbox Game Pass Reveals First Wave of New Games for January 2026, Including Star Wars & More

January isn’t usually packed with new game releases, but there are still a few interesting titles coming. It’s also a good time to revisit older games you may have missed. The January 2026 Xbox Game Pass lineup should have something for everyone, whether you love Star Wars or enjoy horror games. Plus, several major games from 2025, like Atomfall and Rematch, will be available.

Dave Bautista’s New Action Thriller Becomes Prime Video’s #1 Movie (but There’s a Catch)

Currently, Prime Video’s most popular movies include action-packed titles like The Accountant with Ben Affleck, Jason Statham’s A Working Man, and the upcoming John Wick spin-off, Ballerina. However, topping the chart is Trap House, a 2025 thriller directed by Michael Dowse. The film stars Dave Bautista as DEA agent Ray Seale, who discovers he’s chasing his own teenage children, a group of thieves. Unfortunately for viewers in the U.S., Trap House isn’t available for streaming on Prime Video or any other major platform right now, so it can only be rented or purchased.

HyperX made a Hit Box-style leverless fight stick with native Xbox compatibility and TMR sensors — it’s (obviously) drift-proof and customizable with 3D printers

At first, it might seem like just a bunch of colorful buttons, but the name “leverless” gives it away – it doesn’t use a traditional joystick. It works a lot like the popular “Hit Box” controllers used by professional fighting game players, which use separate buttons for each direction of movement.

If James Cameron Leaves The Avatar Franchise, There’s An A+ Horror Director Who’s Down To Step In

I recently learned from ScreenRant that James Wan is definitely interested in directing a future Avatar film should Cameron ever decide to pass the torch. He told them while promoting his new project, The Copenhagen Test, that Avatar is one of the only huge franchises he hasn’t tackled yet, and he’s eager to jump in if given the chance. It’s exciting to hear he’s so enthusiastic about potentially taking on such a massive project, especially since Avatar is readily available to stream on Disney+.
