Do you want to see a list of the best games releasing in December 2023? Worry not, we are here with our top 10 titles.

In 2023, big changes happened in the video game industry. Microsoft completed its $69 billion purchase of Activision Blizzard, becoming the third-largest game publisher globally. Embracer Group faced setbacks with a failed $2 billion deal, leading to layoffs and studio closures. Other major companies like Unity, Epic Games, Bungie, and Ubisoft also saw layoffs.

As the year wraps up, December is quieter in terms of games releases, but there are still exciting options for Nintendo Switch and PC players along with a few other consoles. One highly anticipated game, Avatar is making progress with short films and is about to launch. 

Check out the 10 video games releasing in December 2023 and keep an eye out for exciting releases next month. 

1. Batman: Arkham Trilogy (Switch Port)

The awesome Batman games by Rocksteady, known as the Arkham Trilogy, are finally hitting the Nintendo Switch today! It comes with all three games, their extra content, and a cool bonus – early access to a new Batsuit from “The Batman.”

The release got delayed by two months, but now it’s here! If you grab the physical version, just keep the game cartridge in your Switch to play. But be warned, if you go for the digital version, it might take up a bunch of storage space.

These games were superheroes in the gaming world back in the 2010s. Some folks say they run smoothly at 30 frames per second, except for a bit of a hiccup in the main city. However, others complain that it’s kind of a mess on the Switch, with lag and crashes making it “unplayable.”
