Welcome to what's currently planned to be the final Xbox Game Pass update for 2024! Two games are entering the library today, December 12th, as Microsoft's last additions before 2025 rolls around.
In this final update, we've got Crytek's newly-refreshed extraction shooter Hunt: Showdown 1896, alongside 2023's For The King 2. Here's a bit more about these two new Game Pass additions:
For The King 2 (Console, PC, TBD) - Later Today
"Battle against Fahrul's tyrannical Queen alone or as a party of four players in the sequel to For The King, the massively popular turn-based roguelite tabletop RPG. Will you unravel the once beloved Queen's terrible secret?"
Hunt: Showdown 1896 (Console, PC, TBD) - Later Today
"Hunt: Showdown 1896 is a new era of the addictively unforgiving extraction shooter. In corrupted backwaters lost to history, fight back alone – or with friends – against timeless evil. Twisted monsters and other ruthless Hunters stand between you and your Bounty."
Thinking of playing either of these titles? Tell us which in the poll below - and we'll also throw our 2025 Game Pass guide down there as well, so you can see what's currently planned for the service next year.

Is it the last update though?
Any chance of a shadow drop at the game awards? 🤔🤔
@The-Grezzly-Bear Let's hope so!
It seems like a great opportunity for a shadow drop of missing ActiBlizz games or Indies.
@The-Grezzly-Bear silksong shadow drop finally 🥺
@elpardo1984 Would love for call of duty ghosts and advanced warfare to pop up, great campaigns both, wish Activision would just do a game that packages every campaign into one title.
@JustinTimberlake Is call of duty ghosts the one with the dog?
I played it. Was just ok. Really surprised hear anyone being that game up. Seemed to be universally despised by about everyone.
@GuyinPA75 Yes it's the one with the dog, i liked every aspect of the game except for the extinction alien mode, i also really liked black ops 4 and consider that to be the last good call of duty game despite it not having a campaign.
Can't wait for For The King 2. No interest in the other one.
Hunt is also having sale on a lot of skins, with the next gen update and this event there's not a better time to get into it. Tips: the guns do major damage & everything can headshot you. Okay it slowly & don't make much noise. You're playing against other hunters that are well trained humans, they will hunt you down & can have all sorts of guns or trap combos so you need to stay on your toes. Always carry a stamina shot and keep a vitality shot on your hotkey if you're new. Don't shoot innovators (fire guys) blunt melee them, don't blunt melee armored (the husk garbage can guys) stab them with a sharp object. When you banish a boss target, get ready for all hell to break loose when you pick up the bounty because all of the players on the map have had time to set up camping spots all around you. Last but not least, take it slow & listen to your surroundings. Have fun out there hunters!
Is that screenshot above supposed to be Post Malone? If not, it looks just like him; LOL.
For the King 2 is a definite play for me, but I'm an rpg junkie.
Literally bought For the King 2 a month ago on Steam! Got tired of waiting for it to hit console... Anyhow, looking forward to playing on Xbox, at least I will still own it when it eventually drops off GPU...
@JustinTimberlake Very unusual to read you are one of the few people that liked ghosts. Lol. Not bad thing. It's nice that someone really enjoyed it. I thought the dog was different and refreshing take for call of duty. The level design I thought had lot be desired though.
These are both pretty much designed for co-op, aren't they? I know FtK 2 can be played single, but it's not the intention...
And Hunt is PvE with friends, or is it like a huge PvE world where lots of players interact and you don't need friends?
@Kraven yes! It is Post Malone. Today marks the start of Post Malone's Murder Circus Event. New enemies, new boss, and rerelease of anew map now next gen. The game looks beautiful, some of the best graphics out there for next gen.
