The holiday season is fast approaching (and may indeed already be here depending on when you're reading this), and what better way to celebrate than to play one of the new Xbox Game Pass December 2024 titles?
As usual, Game Pass is getting a bunch more exciting games in December, ranging from stealthy action-adventures through to beloved kart racing remakes and kooky puzzlers. Some are only coming to certain tiers, though, so make sure you're signed up for the right one!

Xbox Game Pass December 2024 - ones to watch
As ever, we've collected some of the games we think it's especially worth your while to check out on Game Pass this month, and here they are!
Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled - December 4th (console - Ultimate, Standard, Core)
If you're one of the many people who preferred 1999's Crash Team Racing to Nintendo's Mario Kart series, then you're in luck, because Beenox's remake Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled hits Game Pass this month.
It's a pretty faithful rework of the original game, but it comes complete with a ton of extra playable characters and race tracks, too. Our Andrew Stretch was very taken with this one when he reviewed it back in 2019.
Indiana Jones and the Great Circle - December 9th (PC, Xbox Series X|S, cloud - Ultimate, PC)
Indiana Jones and the Great Circle sees Wolfenstein: The New Order developer MachineGames stepping up to take on the great pulp action-adventure franchise.
This first-person adventure will incorporate stealth, puzzles, and plenty of whacking Nazis with a whip, so it's sure to be the perfect game for you if you've been waiting for an experience that truly allows you to feel like Indy.
That's everything we currently know is coming to Game Pass in December! As ever, some games must also depart the service this month, so here's everything that's leaving.
