The addition of a new title to Xbox Game Pass in January is going to represent a major boon for members of Microsoft’s subscription service, but players will have to keep an open mind if they wish to enjoy a great game. The service’s catalog is undergoing changes every month with new additions. For example, this month, Xbox Game Pass got Star Wars Outlaws added to the catalog for Ultimate and PC Game Pass members.
Meanwhile, the service is losing a few of its titles soon. For example, starting on January 15, members will no longer have access to Neon White on Xbox Game Pass, as the critically acclaimed shooter game will be removed from the catalog, with no prospect to return so far. Despite the losses of a few great titles, there are also some remarkable titles arriving this month, including one that is seriously underrated.
My Little Pony: A Zephyr Heights Mystery Joins Xbox Game Pass
You Can Enjoy The Game On Consoles, PC, Cloud, & Handheld Devices
As part of the Xbox Game Pass January 2026 games, My Little Pony: A Zephyr Heights Mystery will join the catalog on January 15. As per the official announcement on Xbox Wire, the title will become available for members of the Premium, Ultimate, and PC Game Pass tiers. This will only leave the Essential tier out of the benefit.
My Little Pony: A Zephyr Heights Mystery can be enjoyed on both Xbox Series X/S and Xbox One consoles, as well as PC, compatible handheld devices, and via cloud gaming. Games added to the service’s catalog often tend to stay for a few months or even a year, which means you will have a lot of time available to play the new addition before it is removed.
My Little Pony: A Zephyr Heights Mystery Is An Underrated 2024 Adventure Game
The Game Has Very Positive Review Scores
Even though the franchise is mostly destined toward children, which may repel some types of players, My Little Pony: A Zephyr Heights Mystery is actually a very good game. Released in May 2024, the adventure-platformer title allows you to take control of one of six ponies and explore a magical kingdom. This game can be played solo or in co-op mode, which allows the second player to pick another character entirely.
On the game’s page on the Xbox storefront, My Little Pony: A Zephyr Heights Mystery has impressive review scores. Similarly, the game boasts 80% Very Positive reviews on Steam. If the childlike theme does not put you off, or if you would like to enjoy a family-friendly game with a child, this may be a perfect title to check out, especially without any extra costs via the subscription service.
My Little Pony: A Zephyr Heights Mystery is one of the many games that are added to the catalog and go unnoticed, perhaps out of prejudice toward the franchise or its intended audience’s age. As much as it may not be for every type of player out there, it’s a great addition to Xbox Game Pass.
