Towards the end of August, we talked about this space horror game that will arrive on Xbox and Xbox Game Pass before the end of the year. Specifically, we’re talking about December 4th, but the best part is that if you have Xbox Game Pass, you can already install it in advance, it takes up just over 9 GB on your SSD.

Barring any new surprises, this would be the last major day-one release for Xbox Game Pass in 2025. Unless Microsoft decides to pull out all the stops and bring us something more before the year ends, we’ll just have to wait and see.

Routine’s Horror Now Available for Download on Xbox Game Pass

The game’s design bets on total immersion thanks to the character’s bodily awareness, minimal interface use, and diegetic sound that intensifies every moment. To progress, players will have the help of the Cosmonaut Assistance Tool (C.A.T.), a fundamental tool that allows access to terminals, identifies clues, and navigates the base’s corridors.

Survival will be the priority: you’ll be able to run, hide, or face threats, using the C.A.T. as a last resort. A proposal that seeks to combine exploration with psychological horror and constant tension mechanics.
