The holidays are here, and there’s tons of new games to enjoy! Most of this month’s games are scheduled to release before Christmas, but half of the game’s expected to release this month don’t have a hard release date yet.

With so many titles constantly releasing, it’s literally impossible for one person to play all of these games as soon as they come out. Every month we put together a comprehensive list of releases across all platforms, including mobile games, to help you better plan your play time and purchasing decisions.

Read on for all 160+ games releasing on new platforms in December, plus a look at upcoming Steam sales! Be sure to leave a comment letting us know which titles you’re most excited for!

Extras

If you’re a PC gamer or content creator, you know how big some of these files can be — if you’re looking for a storage upgrade, I recommend investing in a WD Black D10 8TB External Hard Drive. It’s what I personally use in my setup and have tons of games and years of stream footage with space to spare.

If you’re looking for a new controller, my top recommendation is the 8BitDo Ultimate 2 Bluetooth Controller. It’s one of the few wireless controllers with rumble features, it connects to both PCs and all consoles, and features special Hall Effect joysticks to prevent future controller drift.
