Xbox Game Pass Adds Two Surprise Bonus Games in December 2024
Xbox Game Pass subscribers are in for a treat this December, with two unexpected games joining the lineup on December 12. For those signed up for the Ultimate and PC tiers, the addition of For the King 2 and Hunt: Showdown 1896 will surely bring some holiday cheer.
Unexpected Additions to Xbox Game Pass
The news of these new additions came as a surprise to many subscribers, as the initial Wave 1 announcement for December did not include these titles. With popular games like Crash Team Racing: Nitro-Fueled and Overthrown already making their debut earlier in the month, the addition of For the King 2 and Hunt: Showdown 1896 on December 12 caught many off guard.
For the King 2 is a turn-based roguelite that has garnered high praise and currently holds a “Very Positive” rating on Steam. On the other hand, Hunt: Showdown 1896 offers players a gritty and intense gaming experience, with its roots in Crytek’s extraction shooter series.
Surprises in Store for 2025
As Xbox Game Pass subscribers eagerly await the new year, they can already look forward to more exciting titles joining the service in January 2025. While Carrion and Road 96 are set to make their return on January 2 and January 7 respectively, fans can also expect Eternal Strands, Sniper Elite: Resistance, and Citizen Sleeper 2: Starward Vector to round out the month.
With the majority of day one games now exclusively available to Ultimate and PC tier subscribers, those on the Standard tier may miss out on some of these exciting additions. However, Xbox Game Pass continues to offer a diverse range of games, ensuring there’s something for every type of gamer.
