Deck the halls, grab yourself a mince pie and get ready for some gaming fun times, thanks to this batch of Xbox Game Pass titles for December, plus two into January.

Headlining this wave is Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, which will release day one via Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass.

Our Ian has been hands on with the upcoming release already. “I think it’s going to be something truly special and I can’t wait to play more of it,” he wrote in Eurogamer’s hands-on Indiana Jones and the Great Circle preview.
