Xbox Game Pass December 2023: Far Cry 6, Remnant I and II, and More

Xbox Game Pass is adding 12 new titles to its December catalogue, including two day-one releases. The standout here has to be the Remnant franchise — both From the Ashes and its newly launched sequel Remnant II, celebrated for its souls-like shooter experience that pits players against tough-as-nails fantastical monsters, across procedurally-generated levels. Its challenges can also be tackled in co-op, so it’s best advised that you check out the sequel because it will have a larger active player base. Another major addition this month is Far Cry 6, setting you against the vibrant tropical island of Yara to topple its ruthless dictator Antón Castillo (Giancarlo Esposito), who is hellbent on using the Viviro, an unstable form of cancer treatment, to restore his land to former glory. It arrives December 14 on Xbox Game Pass.

The December lineup feels too good to be true, but makes sense given the Christmas season, as a means for Xbox to get more people to subscribe to Game Pass. Rise of the Tomb Raider is another major entry, putting you in the shoes of lone adventurer Lara Croft, who is thrust into a sprawling mystery surrounding The Order of Trinity looking to acquire ancient artefacts that would grant them the power to change the fate of humanity. Taking players to the Lost City of Kitezh in Siberia, this is the second story in a three-part reboot trilogy from Crystal Dynamics, borrowing a range of mechanics from Naughty Dogs Uncharted games in terms of ammo pick-up and a robust close-quarters combat system. Rise of the Tomb Raider will be out December 5 across PC, console, and the cloud.

Let your creativity run wild as you construct a mining town punctuated by cutesy little roads and settlements, with enough power water, and resources to ensure your steampunk civilians are well-equipped to excavate long-lost space technology — the kind that might help save the barren, dying planet. SteamWorld Build is a day-one launch on Xbox Game Pass and is now available to download for free on PC and console. Experience the life of a village blacksmith in While the Iron’s Hot, a pixelated RPG set on the enigmatic island of Ellian, which drew countless craftsmen together in order to perfect their craft. Explore every tunnel, forge new machinery to get past puzzles, and interact with its colourful cast to unveil the mystery surrounding a recent disaster. The game is now available on cloud, console, and PC.

Or you could engage in some co-op zombie-killing action in World War Z: Aftermath, as thousands of undead hordes leap across rooftops to deliver high-tension challenges, as you stock up on ammunition and makeshift weapons to blast skulls, all the while being granted the responsibility of escorting civilians to safety. While it is based on the Brad Pitt-led Paramount Pictures film, the game was well-received at launch and promises to be a jolly good time when it comes to Game Pass on December 5. After all that gory beatdown, one might need to relax a little. So why not turn into an annoying farm animal, and wreak havoc on a sandbox town in Goat Simulator 3, as you headbutt, lick, and triple-jump your way through?

Sony Is Testing Cloud Streaming for ‘Supported’ PS5 Games, PlayStation Plus June Games Revealed

Sony has announced that it has begun testing cloud streaming for ‘supported PS5 games’. The feature will be available for PS Plus Premium/ Deluxe members only and will allow players to stream select PS5 games directly — including the ones in the Game Catalog and Game Trials — without having to download them. The plan is currently in its early stages with no titles confirmed as of yet, but PlayStation has promised ‘as many games as possible’. The news arrives in the wake of Sony announcing Project Q, its latest handheld device, which also works on similar technology. The publisher also revealed an expansive list of 27 free games coming this month to PS Plus Extra and Deluxe subscribers.

“We observe mobility in gaming habits to be an increasingly important trend, and the cloud will be fundamental to allowing us, or indeed anybody else, to exploit that trend,” Jim Ryan, CEO, Sony Interactive Entertainment (SIE) said in an interview, promising aggressive plans for cloud gaming. The company previously dabbled in the technology by way of PlayStation Now, before it got packaged with the revised PS Plus. The Project Q handheld device was unveiled at the PlayStation Showcase event last week, sporting an 8-inch 1080p screen, supported on either side by a button layout and analogue sticks that are reminiscent of the PS5 DualSense controller. The device will let you stream games from your PS5 console either via Remote Play or Wi-Fi, and is slated to launch sometime next year — which explains this new, aforementioned development.

PS Plus Game Catalog for June

Additionally, Sony has announced the complete list of titles coming to the PlayStation Plus Extra and Deluxe/ Premium catalogue, this month. The games will be available to claim starting next week, on June 20. Far Cry 6 leads the pack as the biggest AAA freebie, transporting you to the fictional tropical island of Yara, where corruption and political strikes overrun the streets. Don the role of an established rebel and embark on an open-world adventure to thwart its ruthless dictator Antón Castillo (Giancarlo Esposito) through creative gunplay, crafting, and more. Far Cry 6 will be available on the PS4 and PS5. On the same day, Rogue Legacy 2, the cartoonish rogue-lite featuring persistent dead heirs — no permadeath — will be making its way onto PlayStation for the first time.

Relive your childhood arcade memories in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder’s Revenge, as you pick your favourite turtle and head into ruthless brawls, unleashing combos onto the Foot Clan, Triceraton Warriors, and more. It also comes with support for both online and offline couch co-op, if you’re going for that retro feel. TMNT: Shredder’s Revenge will be available to play on the PS4 and PS5. Deus Ex: Mankind Divided tosses you into a dystopian 2029, where mechanically augmented humans are deemed as outcasts. Players must assume the role of returning protagonist Adam Jensen and navigate a world that has grown to hate his kind, hoping to unravel a conspiracy. It will be out on the PS4.

Other major additions include Killing Floor 2, in which you descend into continental Europe after an outbreak, plaguing the streets with zombie-like specimens and causing governments to collapse. Gameplay largely resembles a zombie shooter, where hordes attack you in waves before culminating into a theatrical boss fight. Then there’s Inscryption, a roguelike deck-builder game that combines elements of escape-room puzzles and psychological horror, as you try unfurling the secrets lurking behind the walls of the shadowy dealer Leshy’s cabin.

While it’s the official PlayStation Blog that usually lists these games, this time it’s the PS UK Twitter account that tweeted out the entire list. The following games will be available exclusively to PS Plus Extra and Deluxe members from June 20 onwards (PS Plus Deluxe is called PS Plus Premium in select markets). Last month’s catalogue included Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart, Watch Dogs: Legion, and Dishonored 2 to name just a few.

A follow-up tweet also lists the PS Plus Classics catalogue for June, available exclusively to PS Plus Deluxe/ Premium members. This month brings Killzone: Liberation (PSP), Worms (PS1) and Herc’s Adventure (PS1).

The PlayStation Plus Deluxe subscription starts in India from Rs. 849 per month, whereas the Extra subscription begins at Rs. 749 per month.
