Remnant II, Far Cry 6, and More Are Coming to Game Pass

Microsoft is about to drop a lot of games in the Game Pass library in the first half of December. Two new games are available starting today with the third-person post-apocalyptic shooter Remnant: From the Ashes and its sequel Remnant II. The first one is making its comeback to the service, while the second one was released back in July on current-gen consoles and PC.

Two more games will follow tomorrow, December 1, with Spirit of the North and SteamWorld Build. The latter is a city-building game that’s coming to Game Pass on its launch day, and it won’t be the only game coming on day one on the service in December.

Between December 5 and December 12, Microsoft will be adding no less than 8 games to the Game Pass library, including Ubisoft’s Far Cry 6, World War Z: Aftermath, Goat Simulator 3, and While the Iron’s Hot, a new adventure game launching day one on Game Pass. Rise of the Tomb Raider, a game that used to be a timed Xbox exclusive is also coming back to the library next month:
