Xbox Game Pass Adds 12 New Games this Holiday Season

Last Updated on December 3, 2021 by Anu Joy

As we reach the end of the year, Microsoft has revealed its line-up of games for the Xbox Game Pass. So get your controllers ready! Halo Infinite, one of the hottest games of 2021, is finally coming to the Xbox Game Pass.

If first-person shooter games like Halo Infinite are not your jam, you still have other genres to choose from. You can enjoy indie games such as Among Us and Stardew Valley. There’s something for everyone in this month’s Xbox Game Pass line-up.

Here’s a list of all the games coming to Xbox Game Pass today:

ANVIL

Anvil is a multiplayer co-op roguelike shooter game. Here, you control “Vault Breakers” and explore galaxies crawling with monsters. Perfect for Christmas.

Final Fantasy XIII-2

A direct sequel to the role-playing game Final Fantasy XIII, the game builds on its predecessor and introduces new characters with an improved battle system.

Lawn Mowing Simulator

For many of us, the ultimate fantasy is to move abroad, buy a house and settle there. With a house comes a lawn, and this game will let you experience a slice of that fantasy by, well, mowing a lawn in the British countryside.

Stardew Valley

Stardew valley is more than a farming-sim, it immerses you in a heart-warming countryside experience. You start out with a few worn out tools to build your own farm and also mingle with the community.

Archvale

A cute and quirky game where you embark on a journey to defeat the evil forces. Your objective is to reunite the world with the fabled Archvale.

Rubber Bandits

Rubber Bandits is a wild party brawler where you dodge deadly traps, scavenge cash, and escape from cops to commit the perfect crime. It’s a wacky multiplayer game that you can enjoy with friends.

Warhammer 40,000: Battlesector   

This turn-based strategy game transports you to the battlefields of the 41st Millennium where you seek to destroy everything in your path.
