Every month brings with it some new Xbox Game Pass games, and December 2021 is no exception. Microsoft has finally pulled the curtain back on the new Xbox Game Pass games coming in December 2021, revealing 13 titles that will be added to the service in the first half of the month. And as expected, it looks like there's going to be a ton of high quality new games for Xbox Game Pass subscribers to check out this December.
December 2 alone will see the addition of six new Xbox Game Pass games in the form of ANVIL, Archvale, Final Fantasy 13-2, Lawn Mowing Simulator, Rubber Bandits, Stardew Valley, and Warhammer 40,000: Battlesector. There are multiple day one Xbox Game Pass games in that lineup, but arguably the headliner is Stardew Valley. Stardew Valley is one of the most critically-acclaimed games of all time, and its addition to Xbox Game Pass is huge for both it and the service.
December 2 will likely be the busiest day for Xbox Game Pass in December, but more games are coming at later dates. For example, December 7 will see the addition of Space Warlord Organ Trading Simulator to Xbox Game Pass, while December 8 will feature the long-awaited release of Halo Infinite.
