Xbox Game Pass in December: first confirmed games

For now, these are the games we have confirmed for the last month of the year, but we can already tell you that there are more games on the way, and this is just a small appetizer – albeit a high-quality one:

The first confirmed premiere arrives on December 4 with Routine, a science fiction project with retro-futuristic touches developed by Lunar Software and published by Raw Fury. It’s the studio’s debut, and it’s been in development for over ten years since it was first announced in 2012. After re-emerging in 2022, many players have been keeping an eye on its evolution, and now there’s not long to wait to discover it on both console and PC via Xbox Game Pass.

Just a few days later, on December 9, Dome Keeper lands, a title that combines base defense and exploration with action and roguelite elements. It arrives after receiving a very positive reception on Steam over the past few years, with thousands of reviews that have solidified its position as a great option for short or long sessions – perfect for the holiday season.
