Xbox giveth and Xbox taketh away. November saw some big names come to the Game Pass subscription service, like Stalker 2, Flight Simulator 2024, and Aliens: Dark Descent, but December sees some some real bangers removed.

Game Pass Standard subscribers can now race over 500 real-world cars across different environments and famous race tracks, like Daytona International Speedway and Laguna Seca Raceway. Dynamic time of day and weather conditions add more challenges to each race and ensure that no two races are the same. Available: Dec. 4

All of the games listed as “Game Pass Standard” in the bullet points above can also be found through Game Pass Ultimate. In addition to these new titles, three existing Game Pass Ultimate titles will be made available on Game Pass Standard on December 4th: Forza Motorsport (Xbox Series X|S), Hauntii (Console), and Humanity (Console).

Fans should prioritize the games they want to play before they're gone.

Indiana Jones and the Great Circle is the next big Xbox game you can use to justify paying for your monthly Game Pass subscription.

Microsoft announces the first wave of the December 2024 Xbox Game Pass lineup, which includes five new titles and several XGP Standard additions.
