The Xbox Game Pass lineup is always a dynamic topic for gamers, and as 2024 winds down, December’s offerings are starting to shape up. While there’s still much to uncover, one title has already captured the spotlight for next month’s lineup, giving players plenty to anticipate as the year concludes.
Only One Confirmed Release So Far: “Indiana Jones and the Great Circle”
With December 2024 quickly approaching, only one major title has been officially confirmed for Xbox Game Pass: Indiana Jones and the Great Circle. Players can look forward to its release on December 9 across Xbox Series X, Series S, PC, and Xbox Cloud Gaming. This action-adventure title, inspired by the legendary franchise, is shaping up to be a centerpiece offering for Microsoft’s subscription service next month.
For eager fans, a Premium Upgrade will be available, granting access to the game on December 6, three days ahead of its general release. This early-access option is anticipated to draw significant interest, particularly from players eager to explore the world crafted by MachineGames, the developers well-known for the critically acclaimed Wolfenstein series.
Speculation Surrounding Additional Game Pass Titles
While Indiana Jones is the solitary confirmed title for December, Xbox Game Pass could still have a few surprises up its sleeve. A look at the current slate of upcoming releases reveals 19 titles marked as “TBD” for 2024. Industry watchers are optimistic that at least one of these delayed or unspecified games could be finalized for a December release.
One possible contender is Commandos Origins, a game that already has a playable Xbox demo and seems well-positioned for an end-of-year launch. The potential inclusion of Commandos or other unrevealed titles would round out the December lineup and bring extra value to subscribers.
Closing Out the Year with More to Anticipate
As we await further announcements, it’s worth noting that November still has a few highlights for Xbox Game Pass members. Among them is the critically acclaimed platformer, Nine Sols, which is set to make its debut before the month ends.
Looking ahead, December 2024 may currently appear sparse in terms of confirmed releases, but that could change as Xbox unveils its full slate. Whether more games join the roster or Indiana Jones steals the spotlight, fans can rest assured that Game Pass will continue to generate buzz heading into the holiday season.
Be sure to stay tuned for updates as new additions to December’s Xbox Game Pass lineup are announced.
