Citizen Sleeper 2 and Eternal Strands Coming to Xbox Game Pass in January

Kicking off January’s lineup for Xbox Game Pass, we welcome two exciting titles: “Citizen Sleeper 2” and “Eternal Strands.” Fans can dive into Yellow Brick Games’ “Eternal Strands” starting January 28, 2025, while the much-awaited “Citizen Sleeper 2: Starward Vector” makes its entrance a few days later on January 31, 2025.

Let’s talk about “Eternal Strands.” Yellow Brick Games crafts an intriguing fantasy action-adventure where you play as Brynn, a Weaver harnessing formidable magical powers. The narrative kicks off decades after the Enclave isolated itself from the rest of the world with an unbreakable barrier. However, a determined group of weavers has discovered a way through this shield, and Brynn is tasked with the exploration of this lost world to reclaim their cultural roots.

As you venture through the wilderness and the bustling capital city of Dynevron, you’ll employ your magical talents and an array of enchanted weapons to take on all sorts of fantastical adversaries, from humanoid constructs to gigantic creatures, as you uncover the secrets of this forgotten land.

Now, for all you “Citizen Sleeper” enthusiasts, the sequel “Starward Vector” is set to deliver an enthralling continuation. Taking on the role of a sleeper, a digital conscience set within an artificial body, you’re on the run from the corporation that created and owns you. Your mission? Assemble a network of allies and find yourself a ship to navigate the expansive Starward Belt, all in a bid to forge a future of your own.

Jump Over the Age, the developers behind this engaging sequel, promises to expand on the original’s tabletop RPG elements by introducing a fresh ‘Push’ mechanic. This new ability can offer a significant advantage during challenging tasks or potentially lead to precarious situations based on your strategic timing and usage.

“Citizen Sleeper” has been widely recognized as one of the standout titles on Xbox Game Pass, making it a must-try for subscribers. What are your thoughts on these thrilling additions to the Game Pass library? Feel free to share your opinions in the comments!
