Last game week, from December 7 to 14, there was a lot of news on Game Pass. The latest games were added to the service this year and a couple of new products were announced for it. About this, as well as about the rest of the Game Pass news for the week, in our regular summary.
New games on Game Pass
This week, 4 games joined Game Pass:
- Indiana Jones and the Great Circle
- Wildfrost
- For the King II
- Hunt: Showdown 1896
The main new release, of course, is Indiana Jones and the Great Circle. The game was well received by critics and players. However, PC Game Pass users encountered a small problem – the version from the Microsoft Store turned out to be different from the version on Steam.
Another new game for Game Pass this week is Dragon Age: The Veilguard. It is currently only included in the Ultimate subscription in a 5-hour trial version.
Announcements for Game Pass
Several games were announced for Game Pass this week:
It’s also worth saying that The Outer Worlds 2, which has long been announced for Game Pass, received a release window of 2025.
Rumors about Call of Duty for Game Pass
This week, players noticed that PC versions of several Call of Duty games appeared in the Microsoft Store. Often, this precedes the release of projects on Game Pass. We are talking about the following projects:
- Call of Duty + United Offensive
- Call of Duty 2
- Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare (2007)
- Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 (2009)
- Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 (2011)
Apparently, we should expect the release of these games on Game Pass no earlier than 2025, unless there are surprises. Microsoft previously confirmed that there will be no second wave of games for Game Pass in December, meaning we shouldn’t expect anything new this month.
