And PS, Crackdown 3 drops in mere days. Days! Hype intensifies!”

Here are this month’s games:
Shadow of the Tomb Raider. Dropping on February 7, this Xbox One X Enhanced title is the climactic finale to Lara Croft’s origin story.
The Walking Dead: The Complete First Season. Also arriving February 7, this excellent five-part adventure series takes place in The Walking Dead universe, of course, with Lee Everett and future star Clementine enduring the zombie apocalypse.
Pumped BMX Pro. Another February 7 release, Pumped BMX Pro features more levels than ever, each with their own set of challenges for you to smash. Choose one of the pre-designed bikes; or ride to the editor to create your own custom bike before smashing the global leaderboards and your friends’ scores.
de Blob. Due February 14, this game is a colorful 3D platformer that supports up to four players via split-screen across eight unique and challenging multiplayer modes.
Batman: Return to Arkham and Batman: Arkham City. These AAA and Xbox One X Enhanced titles arrive February 21, and in the definitive edition of each game with all post-launch downloadable content.
Microsoft had previously announced that the eagerly-awaited, oft-delayed, and Xbox One X Enhanced Crackdown 3 would arrive on February 15, day and date with its retail launch (and it works on Windows 10, too). And it is reminding us that Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition was added to Xbox Game Pass on January 31
