The last part of the year is always intense for those who closely follow the Xbox catalog, but this December has gone a step further. The release calendar for the coming weeks is so packed that it seems like a second holiday wave, with expected ports, important updates, new installments of recognized franchises, and even physical releases of projects with a lot of community support.

Those who play on Xbox Series or Xbox One will have more variety than ever, and those who are attentive to Game Pass also have plenty of reasons to mark their calendars. Many of these titles arrive just before the holiday break, so December will be an especially busy month.
