Xbox Game Pass is slated to have quite the eventful November in 2024, curating great additions (and woeful subtractions) to the service.

With a new month comes new additions and subtractions to Xbox’s Game Pass service! If you’ve been eagerly champing at the bit to know what’s around the corner, I’ve got your back! First, let’s touch on the games that have unfortunately fallen from the ranks (or will soon).

Dicey Dungeons: I can’t speak more highly of this one. Truthfully, I’m a big deck-builder fan. You throw a roguelike dice/card game at me, I’m there. Dicey Dungeons is equal parts challenging and infuriating — in the best possible way. Further, you can choose between various “classes” of dice, each with its strengths, weaknesses, and unique mechanics. It’s leaving on the 15th, and you need to play it on Game Pass soon.

S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl: How can you not be excited about this one?! Branching narratives, in-depth survival mechanics, and more gameplay options than you can shake a stick at? It’s a no-brainer! There are still many secrets yet to be revealed, but from what we’ve seen so far? Shaping up to be an all-timer!

Nine Sols: Since I apparently can’t have Hollow Knight: Silksong yet, Nine Sols showed up and gave me an alternative! Just look at that trailer! The visuals, the movement, the style. Additionally, it’s by the folks who gave us Devotion and Detention! The foundation is strong, and I firmly believe this will be a 2024 sleeper hit! Game Pass? You’re doing it this month!
