Xbox Game Pass continues to expand week to week, as a steady stream of new AAA and indie games are added to the subscription service's library. December will be no different from previous months in that regard, with Xbox confirming 8 new titles planned for Xbox One and 9 new games for PC, all set to launch in the first half of December. These are all in addition to the launch of Halo Reach on Tuesday, which joins the Halo: Master Chief Collection on console and brings the collection to the PC for the first time.

Coming to Xbox Game Pass on Xbox One are 8 great new additions. Starting December 5, the side-scrolling action shooter My Friend Pedro and 3D action game Naruto to Boruto: Shinobi Striker. On December 6 two more games come available with occult pinball game Demon's Tilt and the musical adventure game Wandersong. December 12 brings with it 4 new games in one sweet. Joining the service are eFootball PES 2020, Overcooked 2, Tom Clancy's The Division, and horror thriller Pathologic 2.

December's Xbox Game Pass additions on PC are surprisingly different from on console, with just 3 games coming to both platforms. No specific dates for each title's release have been provided as of yet. The 3 games to be available for both platforms are My Friend Pedro, Demon's Tilt, and Pathologic 2. Joining them will be 2 popular PC-exclusives in Europa Universalis 4 and Age of Wonders: Planetfall. Faeria and Human Fall Flat add some indie flavor. Finally, Metro Last Light Redux and Farming Simulator add some depth.

Xbox Game Pass additions and departures go hand in hand and Microsoft confirms that 4 games will be dropping off the service.  The indie Dark Souls-like Ashen, Pro Evolution Soccer 2019, and both Life is Strange Season 1 and Life is Strange: Before the Storm drop on December 13. Microsoft is offering a discount of up to 20% off for these 4 games until then, in case players want to continue playing them beyond Xbox Game Pass.
