Xbox makes up for lacklustre early November offerings with two day-one releases on Game Pass

AFTER a disappointing lineup for the first half of November, Xbox is adding two massive brand-new games to Game Pass Ultimate.

A couple of smaller games are moving down a tier, to sweeten the deal for Game Pass Standard subscribers.

Here’s all the new additions to Xbox Game Pass coming in the second half of November.

Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 will keep subscribers busy for quite some time, with new career mode, improved weather simulation, new animals and more.

Available today, Flight Simulator 2024 is a day-one release for Game Pass Ultimate, and uses cloud tech to speed up download.

Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl is the long-awaited sequel in the first-person shooter survival horror series and another day-one launch for Ultimate subscribers.

Developed by Ukrainian company GSC Game World, the shooter is set in the Chornobyl exclusion zone, which is full of dangers and mysteries to uncover.

The game’s development was affected by the Russian invasion of Ukraine, and fans finally get to experience the shooter after a few delays, when it launches tomorrow, November 20.

Game Pass Standard subscribers are not left behind, as two games previously available in the Ultimate tier will be added for all members to enjoy.

Little Kitty, Big City is an open-world game where you play as a curious cat, while PlateUp! is a cooking and restaurant management sim with roguelite elements.

All subscribers are also getting Aliens: Dark Descent later this month, which is a 2023 top-down tactics game set in the popular sci-fi horror film franchise.
