it's the third Tuesday of the month, meaning we're getting another wave of titles headed for Game Pass! It's the final update of the year, and it has some pretty big additions, with 5 games getting added to Ultimate, 9 others to Premium, and 3 to Essential, with 4 of the games being Day 1 titles. Let's get into it!
Quotes (in italic) taken from the article linked above. Pay attention to the platforms for each game (Cloud, Console, and PC), as some titles won't be available for all of them. Some of the games in the article may have been covered in the previous wave. Games that are part of EA Play are only available to PC and Ultimate subscribers. Games marked as Game Preview are still in active development and this isn't the final version.
In case you missed it, Microsoft restructured how the service tiers work, which you can find more about in our dedicated article. We've also made modifications to our article, splitting the games by tiers going Essential -> Premium -> Ultimate, so you can more easily find the games that are relevant to you. PC Game Pass subs are getting everything in this article. Without further ado, let's get into the games!
