Xbox Game Pass December Lineup Brings Fatalities and Horror Xbox has announced the next wave of games coming to its Game Pass subscription service in December, featuring a major fighting game release and a long-awaited horror title. The standout addition is Mortal Kombat 1, arriving on December 10 for Game Pass Ultimate and Premium members. This latest entry in the iconic fighting franchise reboots the storyline while maintaining the series signature brutal combat. Players can expect the same over-the-top gore and fatalities the series is known for, including the ability to morph opponents into helpless infants, all within an updated fighting system. Another significant release is the sci-fi horror game Routine, which launches on December 4. This title is a day one release on Game Pass for Ultimate subscribers and concludes a remarkably long development cycle that began with its announcement in 2012. The game promises a tense, retro-futuristic atmosphere as players explore an abandoned lunar base. For fans of roguelikes and mining sims, Dome Keeper arrives on December 9 for Premium and Ultimate tiers. This addictive game blends fast-paced resource gathering with tower defense elements as players defend their dome from nightly waves of enemies, often leading to just one more run sessions. Available now for Premium and Ultimate subscribers is Lost Records: Bloom & Rage. This narrative-driven adventure comes from the studio behind Life is Strange and is set in the 1990s, following a group of friends who reunite after decades to confront a shared secret from their past. Furthermore, several games are expanding their availability within the service. Major titles that were previously exclusive to the Ultimate tier are now accessible for Premium subscribers as well. This expanded list includes the acclaimed first-person adventure Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, the strategic deckbuilder Monster Train 2, the co-op action roguelike 33 Immortals, and the unconventional Spray Paint Simulator. This diverse December selection offers Game Pass subscribers a mix of high-profile action, atmospheric horror, strategic gameplay, and story-rich experiences.
