Microsoft revealed the December 2021 Xbox Game Pass additions, and the three major titles are Among Us, FFXIII-2, and Stardew Valley. FFXIII-2 fulfills the promise of bringing major recent Final Fantasy games to Xbox Game Pass. FFXIII itself joined back in September 2021. (This is even as some leave and go to PlayStation Now.) As for Among Us and Stardew Valley, it means two of the more popular indie games are now available on the service.
Here’s the full list of what will join Xbox Game Pass alongside Among Us, FFXIII-2 and Stardew Valley. Both FFXIII-2 and Stardew Valley will be available as the month begins.
