Xbox Game Pass December 2025 Lineup

Xbox has confirmed a new wave of titles joining the Xbox Game Pass lineup for December 2025.

The final update of the year brings a diverse mix of day-one launches, returning favorites, and a few notable indies to close out 2025 on a strong note. Microsoft also clarified that there will only be a single announcement for the month, meaning subscribers won’t see a second wave later in December.

Spotlight on the Biggest Additions

Lost Records: Bloom & Rage

The headline addition for early December comes from DON’T NOD Montréal, the studio known for Life is Strange. Bloom & Rage marks the beginning of a new IP, blending ‘90s nostalgia, supernatural elements, and emotional storytelling.

Monster Train 2

Shiny Shoe returns with a sequel that expands on its roguelite deckbuilder formula. Players command demons and fallen angels aboard customizable helltrains while battling massive Titans from multiple realms. The game promises deeper strategy, more clans, and fresh upgrades for long-term replay value.

Spray Paint Simulator

For players who want something more chilled-out, Spray Paint Simulator transforms painting into a surprisingly detailed business sim. Set in the quirky town of Splatterville, you’ll paint cars, kitchens, bridges, and even giant robots while building your brand and unlocking a creative free-spray mode.

33 Immortals

Thunder Lotus Games brings one of the most unique co-op ideas in recent memory: a 33-player action-roguelike where damned souls band together to raid realms across Hell, Purgatory, and Heaven. Instant matchmaking and large-scale boss fights make this one a standout for multiplayer fans.

Indiana Jones and the Great Circle

MachineGames offers a blockbuster AAA experience set between Raiders of the Lost Ark and The Last Crusade. Expect cinematic first-person adventure, puzzles, and plenty of whip action as Indy uncovers a global conspiracy tied to ancient architecture.

Routine

This first-person sci-fi horror title launches day one on Game Pass, throwing players onto an abandoned lunar base with a heavy 80s retro-futuristic vibe. Exploration, tension, and psychological unease define the experience.

A Game About Digging A Hole

Minimalist but strangely addictive, this title lets players calmly dig through their backyard to uncover ores, upgrade tools, and eventually discover a mysterious secret waiting underground.

Death Howl

A soulslike deckbuilder from 11 bit studios, this emotionally charged story follows a mother traversing a mythical spirit world to save her son. Card crafting, totems, and tactical encounters shape this atmospheric experience.

Dome Keeper

This hybrid action miner challenges players to dig for resources and then rush back to defend their dome from waves of alien attackers. Resource management becomes increasingly critical as survival grows tougher each round.

Mortal Kombat 1

NetherRealm’s rebooted universe arrives on Game Pass with Fire God Liu Kang reshaping the franchise’s lore. New mechanics, Kameo fighters, and updated fatalities make it a major holiday-season highlight.

Bratz: Rhythm & Style

A colorful rhythm-fashion adventure featuring the Bratz Pack as they travel the world, customize outfits, and take on rivals in dance and runway battles.
