As the winter holidays approach, this is likely the final update to Xbox Game Pass for the year. The addition of Mortal Kombat 1 is a great one – definitely check out the story mode! Plus, players with lower-tier subscriptions can now access games like Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, which were previously only available to Ultimate members.

Looking ahead to 2026, Xbox plans to release a similar number of first-party games, so we’ll see how that goes in the new year. And if you’re looking to subscribe to Xbox Game Pass, there’s still a discount available at Amazon.
