Microsoft quietly added Remnant: From the Ashes and Remnant 2 to the Xbox/PC Game Pass which surprised the community, but this addition was highly welcomed. These two games are currently available on Xbox Game Pass right now with 10 titles (listed below) will be added in the coming days.
The lineup is headlined by revolutionary Ubisoft’s FPP game: Far Cry 6 and 2015’s action-adventure game: Rise of the Tomb Raider and Goat Simulator 3.
Far Cry 6 (Cloud, Console, and PC)

As the third installment in this eccentric franchise, the game wholeheartedly embraces sheer absurdity. You will roam through peculiar landscapes, partake in unforeseeable shenanigans, and delight in the comical aftermath of goat-inspired havoc.

Two new games titled, Chivalry 2, and Totally Reliable Delivery Service are being added to the Xbox Game Core library. Both the games are set to debut on December 6.
Microsoft’s addition of such big titles comes at the right time as Sony’s PlayStation Plus December monthly games are being criticised. Microsoft has dropped the renowned Remnant series and now, unveiled Far Cry 6 alongside Rise of the Tomb Rider. It is a great way to end the year for Xbox and this year has gone great for it indeed with the release of Starfield, Ghostwire, Cocoon, Forza Motorsport, and many more titles. However, We also should not forget the coming Game Awards 2023 where you can expect more interesting announcements from the publisher.
With Xbox making such implementations to its Game Pass, we can expect the PlayStation Plus Game Catalogue for December to be more huge and appealing to its users.
