Next Game Pass Release Is A Crash Bandicoot Kart Racer, And That May Not Be All

The calendar has flipped over to December, and while Microsoft isn’t ready to reveal all the games headed to Game Pass this month, the company has announced one: Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled. The racing game from Activision hits Game Pass on December 4.

This might not be the only Crash game headed to Game Pass soon, as an Amazon Fire Stick leak suggests Crash Bandicoot 4 is also coming to Game Pass. This is unconfirmed for now, though. Before this, Crash Bandicoot N’ Sane Trilogy came to Game Pass this past August.

Other games confirmed for Game Pass in December include Overthrown (December 5) and Indiana Jones and the Great Circle (December 8).

Microsoft officially closed the deal to acquire Activision Blizzard in October 2023, and since then, Microsoft has begun to put some Activision and Blizzard games on Game Pass, including the aforementioned Crash game, as well as Diablo IV. Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 launched into Game Pass at the end of October this year and is arguably the biggest Game Pass release to date.

Microsoft typically releases a blog post containing all the Game Pass additions and removals for the first half of a given month near the beginning of the month. That hasn’t happened yet, but if history is any indication, it should happen this week. While we wait, Microsoft’s own website listed all the Game Pass titles getting removed in the first half of December, and you can see them in the gallery below.
