December is finally here, and you know what that means, right? Christmas Carols ring around the neighbourhood, the decorations start to come up and everyone just starts to feel that little bit better. However, Christmas isn’t the only thing that has got us excited for this months arrival. Microsoft has just revealed their Xbox Game Pass Editions for December and we must say, they look fantastic.
That’s right, we’re being treated to another set of games to delve into this festive season. Amongst this star-studded line up is two of the most successful indie games around- Stardew Valley and Among Us. These are two unbelievable titles which we certainly can’t wait to get involved with this Christmas. However, the cherry on the top really is the the introduction of Halo Infinite, especially as its being given subscriber-exclusive content.
