This ensures that Xbox Game Pass subscribers always have an idea of what the immediate future means for the service, but some games are kept secret. Game Pass subscribers never know the full extent of what's new in the service until Microsoft makes the official announcement, which occurs at the beginning of the month and again mid-month.

Xbox Game Pass adds the Aliens game in 2023
Xbox Game Pass completes its November 2024 offering with the addition of a 2023 Alien game that boasts “very positive” user reviews.
Assuming Microsoft sticks to its established pattern, the Xbox Game Pass December 2024 Wave 1 announcement should come early next week. Meanwhile, only two Xbox Game Pass games have been confirmed for December 2024. The early access version of Fallen is coming to Game Pass on December 5th Indiana Jones and the Great Circle will join the Game Pass offering on December 9th. Now, it should be emphasized that none of the games will be available to those who have signed up for the base Game Pass. Both games require a PC Game Pass or Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscription.
Xbox Game Pass December 2024 Games
- Fallen – December 5th
- Indiana Jones and the Great Circle – December 9th
This is due to Xbox Game Pass tier changes since the beginning of the year. A few months ago, Microsoft decided to relegate most of its day one games to the Ultimate tier of Game Pass, leaving those who signed up for the Standard tier out of luck. After games have been offered in the Ultimate tier for a while, they usually come to the Basic tier, and it's likely that the December 2024 Game Pass lineup will include some games that do just that.
Whatever December 2024 has in store, the two games announced so far are at least somewhat awesome. Fallen is a cozy city building game with online co-op that looks very promising Indiana Jones and the Great Circle is the latest from MachineGames, the renowned studio behind the newer one Wolfenstein Title. Indiana Jones and the Great Circle is easily one of the biggest Xbox Game Pass releases of the year, and its release in December ensures it's going to be a big month for the service, regardless of what else is on the way. In any case, Xbox Game Pass subscribers should find out the full extent of the Xbox Game Pass Wave 1 plans sooner rather than later.
Xbox Game Pass Ultimate
Xbox Game Pass Ultimate is the highest tier of Microsoft's flagship gaming subscription service, offering over 100 game titles you can play with a single purchase, making it one of the Xbox ecosystem's most outstanding value propositions to date.
