Past years also suggest that Microsoft may temporarily change its typical Xbox Game Pass announcement cadence by consolidating all December 2025 titles into a single lineup instead of separating Wave 1 and 2. If so, the company will return to its normal two-wave announcement schedule in January 2026.
