It's that time again. For those of us that like digital copies, Microsoft has a lot of game specials during Christmas. In my opinion, there are some pretty nice gems in there. I know some games may be on gamepass but I think there are some that would be nice to own (given how low some of the prices are). Some are Xbox Play Anywhere titles (e.g. Gears Tactics) so you can also play on PC. Link to the full list of specials (845 at the time of writing) below:

Happy to add suggestions from the comments :)
Enjoy!
Edit: Thanks narcoleptic-haze, I have added your suggestions.
If you just fancy some chilled out cruising in a car (among other vehicles), listening to some music or podcasts, the Crew 2 is pretty great. It's a pretty big (though not life-sized) version of the USA to drive around in. $14.
I'll be picking up the Mafia Trilogy I think. Loved Mafia II back when it was released, and have never played the first - and the remake 'looks' very pretty. Not so fussed about 3 though.
