New Games on Xbox Game Pass in December 2025
Marvel Cosmic Invasion
Developer Name – Tribute Games
Platforms – Cloud, Console, Handheld, PC
Added on: December 1, 2025
Game Pass Tier Name: Ultimate, PC Game Pass
Genre – Beat ’em Up
Marvel Cosmic Invasion brings back the old-school arcade beat ’em up vibe but with a modern smoothness that feels instantly fun. You jump into fast-paced fights with iconic Marvel heroes, smashing through alien enemies in colorful, comic-style levels.
Lost Records: Blom & Rage
Developer Name – DON’T NOD
Platforms – Xbox Series X|S, PC, Cloud
Added on: December 2, 2025
Game Pass Tier Name – Premium, Ultimate, PC Game Pass
Genre – Narrative Adventure / Choice-Driven Story
Lost Records: Blom & Rage feels like stepping back into an old summer you never truly left behind. It’s a heart-touching story about friendship, secrets, and that strange mix of joy and pain that comes with revisiting the past. The characters feel warm and real, and the choices you make carry emotional weight without ever feeling forced. It’s slow, reflective, and beautifully crafted — the kind of game you play when you’re in the mood to connect with a story rather than rush through it.
Monster Train 2
Developer Name – Shiny Shoe
Platforms – Xbox Series X|S, PC, Cloud
Added on: December 3, 2025
Game Pass Tier Name – Game Pass Premium
Genre – Roguelike Deckbuilder / Strategy
Dug into this sequel right on drop day, stacking my pyre with fresh demon clans and rogue angels against those titan hordes chugging through hellish realms – the four-floor chaos and endless synergies had me glued for hours, but that heartbreaking final wave wipe had me rage-rebuilding decks way past bedtime, totally worth it.
Spray Paint Simulator
Developer Name – North Star Video Games
Platforms – Xbox Series X|S, PC, Cloud
Added on: December 3, 2025
Game Pass Tier Name – Premium
Genre – Simulation / Creative / Casual
Spray Paint Simulator is a relaxing creative sim where you run a growing painting business and turn a whole town into your canvas. I love how it makes small tasks feel satisfying — masking a surface, rolling out clean lines, and watching colors cover old textures gives a quiet, tactile joy. It’s great for chilled sessions solo or for teaming up in co-op to tackle bigger jobs; the game is simple to pick up but oddly addictive once you start customizing designs.
33 Immortals
Developer Name – Thunder Lotus Games
Platforms – Xbox Series X|S, PC (Windows), Cloud
Added on: December 4, 2025
Game Pass Tier Name – Premium
Genre – Action Roguelike / Co-op
33 Immortals feels like joining a massive co-op raid where chaos and strategy meet fast-paced combat. You and up to 32 other players leap into battle together, carving through waves of monsters while constantly adapting your build and tactics. The thrill comes from those big, unpredictable moments when your team barely survives a boss or pulls off a clutch revive — it truly feels like an unforgettable shared experience.
Indiana Jones and the Great Circle
Developer Name – MachineGames (published by Bethesda Softworks)
Platforms – Xbox Series X|S, PC (Windows), Cloud
Added on: December 4, 2025
Game Pass Tier Name – Premium
Genre – First-Person Action-Adventure
Indiana Jones and the Great Circle feels like stepping into a classic globe-trotting adventure with all the charm and danger you expect from Indy. You explore ancient ruins, solve environmental puzzles, and face off against enemies in rich, detailed environments that make every discovery feel earned. The game captures that thrill of uncovering secrets hidden for decades, and its mix of action, exploration, and story keeps you hooked from start to finish. Playing it on Game Pass makes it even sweeter, especially if you grew up loving the iconic film adventures.
Routine
Developer Name – Lunar Software
Platforms – Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PC , Cloud
Added on: December 4, 2025
Game Pass Tier Name – Game Pass Ultimate / PC Game Pass
Genre – Survival Horror / First-Person
Routine made a long-awaited debut on Game Pass with a mix of eerie atmosphere and slow-burn horror. Set on a deserted lunar base, every corridor feels tense as you explore in first-person, piecing together what went wrong while machines and shadows lurk in the dark. The lack of traditional HUD and reliance on environmental cues makes it feel more immersive — like you’re really alone on that moon station, uncovering secrets one step at a time. Whether you’re sneaking through abandoned labs or listening for distant sounds in metal halls, the game keeps you on edge in a satisfying, old-school sci-fi horror way.
A Game About Digging A Hole
Developer Name – DoubleBee, Cyberwave
Platforms – Cloud, Console, Handheld, PC, Xbox Series X|S
Added on: December 9, 2025
Game Pass Tier Name – Premium, Ultimate, PC Game Pass
Genre – Simulation / Casual / Sandbox
Credit: IGN
Kicked off digging under a rundown shack right after it dropped, hauling up glowing ores to cash in for drill upgrades that let me plunge deeper – the battery countdown forcing surface breaks built this tense rhythm that hooked me for hours, and stumbling on bizarre buried junk had me muttering “no way” while pushing just one more layer before bed.
Death Howl
Developer Name – The Outer Zone (published by 11 bit studios)
Platforms – PC & Handheld
Added on: December 9, 2025
Game Pass Tier Name – Game Pass Ultimate / PC Game Pass
Genre – Soulslike / Deckbuilder / Strategy
Dipped into Ro’s spirit realm quest, shuffling grief-soaked cards for grid-based clashes against howling bosses that demanded perfect parries and totem tweaks – those punishing deaths fueled smarter deck rebuilds, but the raw mom-defying-death tale hit deep, turning frustration into “one more run” marathons.
Dome Keeper
Developer Name – Bippinbits
Platforms – Cloud, Console, Handheld, PC
Added on: December 9, 2025
Game Pass Tier Name – Premium, Ultimate, PC Game Pass
Genre – Roguelike / Tower Defense / Action
Dome Keeper feels like a clever blend of digging and defense that keeps you constantly thinking on your feet. You’re down in the dirt mining for precious resources, racing against time before the next wave of alien attackers hits your dome — that tension makes every run feel alive. Upgrading your drills and defenses gives a real sense of progression, and there’s something very satisfying about balancing exploration with frantic last-second returns to base. It’s the kind of game where minutes turn into hours without you noticing.
Mortal Kombat 1
Developer Name – NetherRealm Studios
Platforms – Xbox Series X|S, PC, Cloud
Added on: December 10, 2025
Game Pass Tier Name – Ultimate / Premium / PC
Genre – Fighting / Action
Mortal Kombat 1 feels like a fresh and fierce rebirth of a beloved fighting franchise. Every match is fast-paced and intense, with combos, brutal finishers, and tight controls that make even quick sessions feel satisfying. What stands out most is how the game balances deep competitive play with accessibility — it’s welcoming for newcomers but still rewarding for veterans. Whether you’re pulling off a perfect combo or laughing with friends after a wild battle, it’s a fighting game that keeps you coming back for more.

Genre – Rhythm / Fashion / Casual
Bratz: Rhythm & Style feels like stepping into a lively fashion world where rhythm, style, and creativity all play together. You get to dress up the Bratz crew, dance to catchy tunes, and explore stylish cities while battling for the spotlight. The mix of outfit design and rhythmic gameplay makes it feel like a cheerful party — colourful, upbeat, and perfect for casual play with friends or family. It’s easy to pick up, fun to experiment in, and doesn’t take itself too seriously, which gives it a charming, laid-back vibe.
