Every month, Xbox Game Pass subscribers are left waiting to see which games will be added to the service and which others may be disappearing. It can be disappointing when a favorite game comes out, but most of the time, it’s an exciting time for people to see what new and fun experiences can be had. As the holiday season approaches, November sees several additions to the Xbox Game Pass lineup of titles in a mix of gameplay styles, which are sure to keep people busy as the weather cools down.
Xbox Game Pass offers a large library of games spanning all genres for its subscribers to enjoy. To keep the service meaningful, it adds and removes titles regularly of the collection and, over the past year, has included more new games on the same day of their release. While this certainly isn’t always the case, when it does happen it can help make Game Pass a very worthwhile investment for avid gamers who want to try out the latest titles at the same time as their friends.
