The Game Pass team is ending 2024 with a bang, and the games start rolling in tomorrow with several titles heading to Console and Xbox Series X|S: Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled, Forza Motorsport, Hauntii, and Humanity. Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled will be available to Game Pass Ultimate, Standard, and Core subscribers as an authentic Crash Team Racing experience, fully remastered for a new generation.
The other three titles—Forza Motorsport, Hauntii, and Humanity—are being added to the Game Pass Standard library. Forza Motorsport is the latest title in the long-running racing franchise, featuring over 500 real-world cars. In Hauntii, players take on the role of a naive little ghost in an adventure game filled with puzzles and hand-crafted art. The final game for December 4 is Humanity, starring a Shiba Inu tasked with reconstructing humankind in an action-puzzle game. It’s like a modern-day Lemmings, but with mindless humans.
If Forza Motorsport isn’t your type of racing, EA Sports WRC heads to Cloud, PC, and Xbox Series X|S via EA Play on December 5 for Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass subscribers. Covering the World Rally Championship, EA Sports WRC lets you build your dream race car to tackle dirt, snow, and asphalt tracks. Overthrown will also be available on December 5 on Cloud, PC, and Xbox Series X|S for Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass subscribers. This day one release is a chaotic city builder with up to six-player co-op, featuring anime-style combat as players work together to build and manage a kingdom.
The major title of the month is Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, which launches day one as a Game Pass title on December 9. The game will be available on Cloud, PC, and Xbox Series X|S for Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass subscribers. The launch trailer debuted yesterday, and the game looks to be another fantastic addition to MachineGames’ library. Those looking for a roguelike deckbuilder can check out Wildfrost on December 10 on Cloud, Console, and PC. The title will be available for Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass subscribers.
Game Pass also revealed two returning titles to the library with Carrion on January 2 and Road 96 on January 7. Both will be available on Cloud, Console, and PC for Game Pass Ultimate, PC Game Pass, and Game Pass Standard subscribers. Carrion is an extremely popular reverse horror game that is best experienced knowing as little as possible. Road 96 takes players on a crazy road trip to the border, packed with choices to make as you meet more characters along the journey. Although Game Pass has revealed some January titles, you can expect more games in December when the second wave is announced.
In addition to these announced titles, DayZ and Goat Simulator are also heading to Game Pass Core starting on December 4.
