The Game Pass update for this month is bringing one of Xbox’s most stacked winter drops of the year.
Just look at the list. Mortal Kombat 1 arrives on December 10, backed by a wave of new indie games and returning favorites. This is the only Coming Soon post for December you need, and it is fully packed.
Available Today
Lost Records: Bloom and Rage launches today. It is available for Xbox Game Pass Ultimate , Xbox Game Pass Premium, and Game Pass PC. This narrative adventure comes from the team behind Life is Strange. The story follows a group of friends who record their summer in 1995. Twenty-seven years later, they reunite to face the truth behind why they stopped speaking.
