Xbox announces 7 free games you can grab through November

Xbox has announced the next batch of games that will be coming to its Game Pass subscription service this November and it includes some bangers.

Xbox Game Pass is arguably the best value in the industry with its Netflix for video games formula offering hundreds of titles to play in an instant for a reasonable subscription fee. The Ultimate tier even offers additional services such as EA Play and trials for the likes of EA Sports FC 25.

From first-party hits such as Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, third-party big hitters like Yakuza: Like a Dragon or indie darlings, namely Botany Manor, there are plenty of reasons to keep an active Xbox Game Pass subscription.

Xbox Game Pass certainly beats paying for a full-priced game and then trading it in at retailers such as CeX to help fund the next gaming adventure (as beneficial as that fundraising can be).

However, unless it’s a first-party title, many will only be available on a rotational basis. So if there are any third-party games that you’ve not finished yet on Xbox Game Pass, it might be wise to get those out of the way ASAP.

That being said, the plus side to games leaving Xbox Game Pass is that it grants an opportunity for a new batch to arrive, such as these November 2024 offerings.

As detailed on Xbox Wire, arriving in the first wave of Game Pass titles are:

• Metal Slug Tactics (Console, Cloud and PC) - 5 November with Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass.
• Go Mecha Ball (Console) - 6 November with Game Pass Standard
• Harold Halibut (Xbox Series X/S) - 6 November with Game Pass Standard
• The Rewinder (Console) - 6 November with Game Pass Standard
• Turnip Boy Robs a Bank (Console) - 6 November with Game Pass Standard
• Goat Simulator Remastered (Xbox Series X/S, Cloud and PC) - 7 November with Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass.
• Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 (Xbox Series X/S, Cloud and PC) - 19 November with Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass

With this being the first wave of Xbox Game Pass this month, we’ll keep you updated when wave two is announced.
