After weeks of rumours, Xbox Game Pass has dropped a 'fun' game-one PC title for January.

In case you missed it, Microsoft has surprised subscribers with an early launch, and fans are keen to start playing.

In a statement via X, Microsoft announced: "Quarantine Zone: The Last Check drops on Monday!!!"

"I got my hands on it, going to be reviewing it tomorrow," one social media user replied. "I will say it was honestly a fun game when I did the demo."

Another agreed, "I wanted it so badly, thank you so much."

"Xbox GP, the gift that keeps on giving," a third added.

For those of you unfamiliar with the survival game, Quarantine Zone: The Last Check puts players in control of a checkpoint in the midst of a zombie apocalypse.

You'll have to manage food, fuel, and defence, while deciding who can enter the safe zone.

So, how can you play the game, and where can you get Xbox Game Pass on offer?
