Xbox has outlined its December 2025 Game Pass line-up, detailing the new games arriving throughout the month and where players will be able to access them across Cloud, Console, Handheld and PC.
The update, released last week through Microsoft’s official Wire post, explains which tiers each title is coming to and why this month’s announcement stands out, as it will be the only one before regular updates resume in January. It also sets out how subscribers can jump into day-one launches, claim fresh perks and prepare for several games scheduled to leave the service later in December.

Enhanced for Game Pass Premium, the sequel brings players back into a celestial conflict where allied angels and demons must reclaim Heaven from newly risen Titans.
