Microsoft has announced the games coming to Xbox Game Pass in December 2024, headlined by Indiana Jones and the Great Circle but also including the likes of Crash Team Racing: Nitro Fueled. Indiana Jones and the Great Circle is the highly anticipated release from Wolfenstein developer MachineGames and is Indy's first proper foray into the video game space.

Game Pass Standard subscribers can now race over 500 real-world cars across different environments and famous race tracks, like Daytona International Speedway and Laguna Seca Raceway. Dynamic time of day and weather conditions add more challenges to each race and ensure that no two races are the same. Available: Dec. 4

Fans should prioritize the games they want to play before they're gone.

Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, Forza Motorsport and more awesome titles are part of the new additions coming to Xbox Game Pass this month.

Xbox giveth and Xbox taketh away. November saw some big names come to the Game Pass subscription service, like Stalker 2, Flight Simulator 2024, and Aliens: Dark Descent, but December sees some some real bangers removed.

Microsoft announces the first wave of the December 2024 Xbox Game Pass lineup, which includes five new titles and several XGP Standard additions.

Update [Tue 3rd Dec 2024, 6am]: It turns out that just seven games will be leaving Xbox Game Pass in early December rather than the original eight that were reported, as Hello Neighbor 2 is no longer on the list. We also now know what's leaving Xbox Game Pass in late December, as covered elsewhere on Pure Xbox:

A total of 6 additional games will leave on December 31. The list includes BlazBlue: Cross Tag Battle, Humankind, LEGO 2K Drive, Party Animals, and more. In total, Xbox Game Pass and PC Game Pass will lose 13 games this month. Below is the list of titles leaving at the end of December:

Microsoft added the remastered Spyro trilogy to Game Pass earlier in November, letting subscribers play as the iconic purple dragon. Now, Microsoft is taking subscribers back to the Chornobyl Exclusion Zone in the sequel to the award-winning Stalker.

As usual, you can get a discount of at least 20% on these Xbox Game Pass titles until they leave in a few weeks' time, and some of them may be reduced even further - Party Animals, for example, has a 50% discount on the Xbox Store.
