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

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

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.

All of the games listed as “Game Pass Standard” in the bullet points above can also be found through Game Pass Ultimate. In addition to these new titles, three existing Game Pass Ultimate titles will be made available on Game Pass Standard on December 4th: Forza Motorsport (Xbox Series X|S), Hauntii (Console), and Humanity (Console).

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:

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.

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.
