The Xbox Game Pass Standard service has introduced a significant update, adding four new titles to its catalog. As Microsoft expands its offerings, players are set to enjoy a diverse array of gaming experiences with this latest enhancement. Below, we detail the new games available as of November 6, 2024, and delve into what each title has to offer.
Overview of Xbox Game Pass Standard Update
As part of a strategic overhaul earlier this year, Microsoft replaced the previous Xbox Game Pass Console with the more inclusive Xbox Game Pass Standard. This tier maintains access to online multiplayer gameplay, addressing a common critique of its predecessor. Additionally, it provides a more affordable library of games compared to the Game Pass Ultimate service, appealing to a broader audience.
Today, on November 6, players gain access to four new titles transitioned from the Ultimate library, including the highly anticipated Harold Halibut, a narrative adventure set to captivate gamers with its unique storytelling.
