By A preliminary glance at next month
- by Ben Kerry
As we typically do during this period of the month, we’re presenting a preliminary glance today at what lies ahead for December 2025’s Xbox Game Pass offerings, with two games having been verified for the service already next month.
The standout title thus far is undoubtedly Routine; this long-awaited sci-fi thriller appears to be a must-try on Xbox Game Pass next month. As noted in the previous header, we have one additional title confirmed prior to Microsoft disclosing more Game Pass additions in the upcoming weeks.
Before we delve deeper into these two games below, we would like to remind everyone that there are still several titles remaining from November’s selection as well – and, as previously mentioned, more titles will soon be added for next month.
Without any further delay:
Routine (December 4)
“ROUTINE is a First Person Sci-Fi Horror game set on an abandoned lunar outpost envisioned through an 80s perspective of the future. Intriguing exploration transforms into a quest for survival when the lunar facility becomes eerily silent. Pursuing the mystery brings you face to face with an adversary who believes you are the primary threat. Findings lead to deeper enigmas, and the only path is onwards.”
Dome Keeper (December 9)
“Protect against hordes of extraterrestrial creatures in this distinctive roguelike action mining adventure. Utilize the intervals between assaults to excavate underground in search of precious materials and artifacts – bring them back to your dome to unlock powerful enhancements and handy new tools.”
