Microsoft has officially unveiled the complete roster of titles joining the Xbox Game Pass subscription service throughout December 2025. This announcement, detailed in a recent post on the official Microsoft Wire blog, serves as the final scheduled update for the year before the regular monthly cadence resumes in January 2026. The lineup spans a diverse range of genres, including major day-one releases, beloved franchises, and unique indie experiences, accessible across Cloud, Console, PC, and Handheld devices.
Major Day-One Launches and Early December Arrivals
The first week of December is packed with high-profile additions. Kicking off on December 3 is Monster Train 2, enhanced for Game Pass Premium, and the cozy Spray Paint Simulator. The following day, December 4, is particularly significant with three substantial releases.
Gamers can dive into the 33-player co-op roguelike 33 Immortals (Game Preview) and the day-one horror title Routine, set on a creepy 80s-inspired lunar base. The headliner, however, is Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, a first-person, single-player adventure that slots into the timeline between the classic films 'Raiders of the Lost Ark' and 'The Last Crusade'.
Furthermore, Game Pass Essential subscribers will receive three extra titles on December 3: the grand strategy of Stellaris, the zombie horde action of World War Z: Aftermath, and the survival settlement builder Medieval Dynasty.
Mid-Month Highlights and Seasonal Updates
The second week continues the momentum with a mix of indie gems and a blockbuster fighting game. On December 9, players can look forward to A Game About Digging A Hole, the soulslike deck-builder Death Howl (another day-one release), and the survival miner Dome Keeper.
December 10 sees the arrival of Mortal Kombat 1, the 2023 reboot of the iconic fighting series, into the Game Pass library. This is followed by Bratz: Rhythm and Style on December 11.
Popular live-service games are also receiving festive updates. Sea of Thieves: Season 18 launches on December 11, while Dead by Daylight's Bone Chill winter event runs from December 9 to January 6. Palworld gets its 'Home Sweet Home' update on December 17.
New Perks and Games Leaving Soon
Microsoft has also activated new perks for members, including an exclusive survivor pack for PUBG Battlegrounds, customisation items for Delta Force, and a Toyota Supra LBWK Edition Pack for The Crew Motorfest.
Subscribers should note the list of games scheduled to leave the service. Departing on December 15 are Mortal Kombat 11, Still Wakes the Deep, and Wildfrost. Furthermore, Carrion and Hell Let Loose will exit the Game Pass library on December 31. Members can purchase these titles at a discount of up to 20% to keep them permanently.
This robust December lineup ensures Xbox Game Pass members in India and worldwide have a packed holiday season of gaming, offering everything from cinematic adventures and competitive fighters to creative simulators and challenging co-op experiences.
