Xbox Game Pass December Update: Remnant II and Exciting New Additions

Xbox Game Pass has just unveiled its upcoming game lineup till December 15, and it's an impressive selection. Among the games set to hit Microsoft's subscription service in the coming weeks, the highlight is the arrival of 2023's sleeper hit: Remnant II, available starting today.

Remnant II, developed by Gunfire Games and Gearbox Entertainment, is a multiversal Soulslike shooter that initially launched on PC and consoles in July. Despite its quiet entry into the gaming scene, Remnant II swiftly became a sensation, selling over 2 million copies within two months of its release. Critics praised the game's captivating boss design and applauded its first DLC pack for its ambitious scope. With elements of looter shooters and rougelite, Remnant II promises an engaging experience for gamers seeking lengthy gameplay during the upcoming holidays. Additionally, its predecessor, 2019's Remnant: From the Ashes, is also now accessible through Xbox Game Pass, allowing players to trace the series' origins.

Notably, Xbox Game Pass Core will welcome two new additions on December 6: Chivalry 2 and Totally Reliable Delivery Service. Here's a glimpse at the titles lined up for Xbox Game Pass through December:

  • Spirit of the North – December 1

  • SteamWorld Build – December 1
