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:

So far, Xbox Game Pass subscribers only have two games to look forward to when it comes to the December 2024 lineup.

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.

A Xbox Game Pass leak has revealed another major game coming to the subscription service, presumably after Indiana Jones and the Great Circle.

Xbox Game Studios titles are permanently available on Xbox Game Pass. However, occasionally, exclusive titles leave the service for various reasons. There's bad news for racing fans, as a popular Forza installment is on its way out.

Some newly surfaced evidence suggests that yet another beloved platformer may be coming to Xbox Game Pass in the near future.

Xbox Game Pass is a subscription service for Xbox consoles and PCs. You pay a monthly fee to subscribe to the service, and in exchange, you can download and play games from the Xbox Game Pass library on your console.
