The year 2022 has gone by at breakneck speed, but there are still plenty of games to come in December. Below is a recap of the games releasing next month.
As usual, we will be entitled to rich and varied titles, some expected even directly in the Xbox Game Pass such as High On Life, the FPS from the co-creator of Rick & Morty. Fans of horror games will enjoy The Callisto Protocol while car fans will be treated to Need For Speed Unbound. Let’s not forget either that December 14 marks the release of the The Witcher 3 next-gen update.
Do not hesitate to tell us in the comments which title will catch your attention in this last month of 2022.
