Xbox Game Pass subscribers currently have five new games to look forward to in December 2025, with more likely to be announced next week. Every month, new games are added to Xbox Game Pass across its various tiers, with subscribers getting the most bang for their buck from the Ultimate tier. With an Ultimate tier subscription, Game Pass subscribers can play everything that the service has to offer on Xbox and PC, including brand-new, day one releases.
2025 has been an incredible year when it comes to day one games on Xbox Game Pass. The first half of the year was defined by critically-acclaimed games like Blue Prince and Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, while the second half of the year delivered one of the most highly-anticipated indie games of all time in the form of Hollow Knight: Silksong along with blockbuster releases like Ninja Gaiden 4, The Outer Worlds 2, and most recently, Call of Duty: Black Ops 7.
Game Pass users have hundreds of games to choose from, but some are so good it's easy to keep coming back for more.
The year is nearly at an end, but there are still some major new releases...
