Of the games announced today, Hi-Fi Rush and GoldenEye 007 are likely to generate the most excitement among subscribers! Revealed during today’s Xbox Bethesda Developer Direct, Hi-Fi Rush is the latest game from Tango Gameworks, the developer behind The Evil Within. Meanwhile, GoldenEye 007 is the 1997 Nintendo 64 classic, and is often considered one of the greatest video games of all-time. Xbox fans have also been clamoring for the Age of Empires series to release on console, and Age of Empires II marks the first of two games in the series heading to the platform.

As new games are cycled in, other games are removed, and subscribers have a limited amount of time left to play Donut County, Taiko no Tatsujin: The Drum Master, Telling Lies, and Worms WMD. All four games are slated to leave the service on January 31st.
