Xbox Game Pass games are usually removed in two batches each month – one around the middle and another at the end. Recently, Mortal Kombat 11, Still Wakes the Deep, and Wildfrost were taken off the service for Cloud, Console, and PC on December 15th. Coming up on December 31st, the popular horror game Carrion and the intense first-person shooter Hell Let Loose will also be leaving.
The RPG market has been incredible this year, with so many new releases it’s almost too much to keep up with! Even updated versions of older games, like The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered and Final Fantasy Tactics – The Ivalice Chronicles, were huge hits. With so many great options available, it was really hard to choose the best one.
Many popular video games are set during the holiday season, even if they aren’t specifically about Christmas. For example, Tom Clancy’s The Division features a snow-covered New York City adorned with festive lights and trees. Spider-Man: Miles Morales and Batman: Arkham Origins both offer snowy Manhattan settings that perfectly capture the seasonal atmosphere. Plus, the original Max Payne is also set in a Christmas-decorated New York and is a relatively quick play.

While characters like Sanemi, Obanai, and Mitsuri are clearly very powerful—possibly even stronger than many heroes we’ve seen so far—the current story arc hasn’t fully showcased their abilities. Because of this, it’s hard to place them above characters who have already proven themselves. The same applies to characters like Sanemi and Kokushibo, who are known for their immense power, but haven’t had a chance to fully demonstrate it in the current arc. Therefore, these rankings are based on what we’ve actually seen happen, rather than what we expect will happen.
To finish the year well, Sony is offering PlayStation Plus members five free games in December 2025.
