Subscribers to the Xbox Game Pass service are in for a holiday treat as Microsoft has announced a list of 14 games coming to the service in December.

The software giant unveiled 14 new titles for its Core, Console, PC and Ultimate subscription plans on Thursday. Two games will be available on the Core platform, 11 in the cloud, eight on console and 12 on PC. The news comes just a day after we reported that the Xbox franchise was expected to overtake PlayStation in gaming revenue.

In July this year, Microsoft announced that it would be expanding its Core library. The catalog now includes several extremely popular games, including Remnant, Remnant II, Rise of the Tomb Raider and Far Cry 6. Here’s a comprehensive list of the newly added titles:

• Rest: From the Ashes (Cloud, Console and PC) – November 30th
• Remnant II (Cloud, PC, Xbox Series X|S) – November 30th

How does Microsoft’s Xbox Game Pass work?

Xbox Game Pass offers players a diverse library of games accessible across Xbox consoles, PCs and compatible devices.

Subscribers enjoy a constantly updated selection of AAA and indie titles, making it a versatile gaming solution. This subscription model has revolutionized the gaming industry, offering gamers a cost-effective and flexible way to access a wide range of gaming experiences without having to purchase individual titles.

However, it is not without its drawbacks. The rotating library, where games are sporadically removed or added, isn’t for everyone, and this lack of ownership can be a problem for those who prefer a permanent collection
