Xbox Game Pass For December Includes Halo Infinite, Among Us, Stardew Valley, And More

December is a massive month for Xbox Game Pass.

Microsoft has announced the new additions to Xbox Game Pass for the first half of December, and the list includes what might be the program's biggest new release ever, Halo Infinite.

Halo Infinite's campaign arrives for Xbox Game Pass across console, PC, and the cloud on December 8. The multiplayer element is already out now through a beta.

Also coming to Xbox Game Pass in December is Ancient Vault Investigation Lab (ANVIL), a new release that comes to the program on December 2 for console and PC. The exploration game sees players traveling through the galaxy to find ancient alien vaults.

Another day one release for Game Pass coming on December 2 is the bullet hell RPG Archvale for console, cloud, and PC. Also arriving that day is Final Fantasy XIII-2 for console and PC, while Lawn Mowing Simulator comes to Game Pass across console, PC, and the cloud on December 2 as well.

December 2 also sees the launch of the day one new release beat-'em-up brawler Rubber Bandits for console, PC, and the cloud, while the beloved zen farming game Stardew Valley comes to Game Pass that day on console, cloud, and PC.

One more game launches for Game Pass on December 2, and it's the turn-based strategy game Warhammer 40,000: Battlesector for console, cloud, and PC.

Then on December 7, Space Warlord Organ Trading Simulator--in which you buy, sell, and trade organs--comes to Game Pass on console, PC, and cloud as a new release.

Also releasing in December on Game Pass is One Piece Pirate Warriors 4 on console, cloud, and PC (December 9), as well as Aliens: Fireteam Elite for console, PC, and cloud (December 14). Innersloth's very popular impostor game Among Us also arrives on December 14 for console.

Microsoft normally announces a second wave of Game Pass titles later in the month, so keep checking back for more.

Generation Zero and Evil Genius 2 yesterday as well. Wasn't sure about GZ but tried it using the Cloud for a while to see if it was worth downloading and quite enjoyed it.

Game Pass is killing it.

@gym_lion: Generation Zero is an underrated game now.

It had serious issues at launch but I played about 15hrs recently and really enjoyed it.

@SecretPolice: Lawn Mowing Simulator?

@dabear:

I know, OMG, OMG, OMG. Get pumped baby!! lol :P

What a time to be a gamer.

That game has been on PC for a long time. I was wondering when it was coming to consoles. Farming Simulator meets Lawn Mowing lol.

Bu bu bu but gamepass is not financially viable,and Xbox are lying if they say it's doing well,every tear spilling cows damage control.

Good stuff Xbox gamepass,bravo

If you've never played Stardew Valley- it's the GOAT. Give it a try for a few hours while you're playing Gamepass. I'd recommend a buy tho- you can sink a ton of hours into the game and it's only $15.

Advanced Lawnmower Simulator was an April Fools game back in the 80's on the Sinclair Spectrum 48K/Commodore 64. Your Sinclair (a popular magazine at the time) put it on their cover tape to mock Codemasters who at the time had had dozens of Simulator games out such as

They were all pretty awful but only cost about £2

@gym_lion: I'mmmm going to have to try it. I don't quite know why I want to, but curiosity is getting the better of me. Thanks for the info!

Defo Microsoft's month.

what a great month 5 games I will definitely be playing this month, I own Aliens but some of my friends say they will give it a try this month.

I am in shock that this post has been up for over 3 hours? and the regular xbox sucks crowd haven't swarmed in yet.

Obviously halo infinite bit never got around to stardew valley might be worth a download.

Xbox just destroying Sony this gen.

@SecretPolice: the best keeps getting better. I'm looking to try out started valley...its gotten a ton of great reviews.

@davillain-: I thought I was the only one to play lawn mowing simulator. Funny enough, I actually enjoyed the game. Though it did stress me out when I spent almost an hour trying to get 100% of all the grass....spending forever looking for that last clump

Such great value!!! Definitely will play halo, war hammer and aliens fire team! Also stardew valley is pretty great!

How?

Please elaborate.

Halo Infinite may be my last bastion for a good FPS this 2021.

It is also getting Aliens Fireteam Elite December 14th which is great because the game is fun when there's people to play with but the game severely lacks an online base needed for it to the point I am lucky if I can get just one person to do a match with, a full squad is a unicorn. Game Pass should take care of that.

@gym_lion: GP got Generation Zero? Nice. Played through it about a year ago and loved it but felt I really needed a friend to play with but didn't feel like nagging one to buy it. This takes care of that.

Seems moot. You can mow lawns in Farm Sim, and it's also on gamepass.

Can't wait for Infinite. MP is addictive as hell and the Campaign looks dope too.

Incoming response thread in the form of a coping thread 😂.

Where is The Gunk?

This is only listing the first half of December, The Gunk is coming second half.

Perhaps I'll do a thread when those games are announced.

I know right, our cupeth runneth over. lol :P

@mesome713: Sony won last gen 40-0 in terms of quality exclusives.

This year its already 6-0(1) Sony in terms of quality exclusives.

Sony dominating as always.

In Sony's worst year of the last 25 years, it's still doing better than the best Xbox year in ten years.

Indeed, I've searched high and low for the poo bovine brigade but breaks have been sold out for years now. lol :P
