Games with Gold November 2020 news and surprise Xbox Live free games trial update

Microsoft is set to announce its full Games with Gold November plans this week, with a new lineup of four Xbox One and Xbox 360 launching in a week.

No precise date has been shared, but things will need to be revealed before Sunday, November 1, 2020.

This means that the next big Xbox Live Gold reveal will be dropping over the coming days. No leaks have surfaced suggesting what might be hitting Games with Gold next.

And it’s going to take something special to top the likes of the most recent additions made to Xbox Game Pass.

Microsoft’s other big subscription service just Rainbow Six Siege made part of the official lineup. And while R6 might not be a new game, it’s still very popular and has built a huge following.

October’s Games with Gold lineup included Slayaway Camp: Butcher’s Cut, Maid of Sker, Sphinx and the Cursed Mummy and Costume Quest.

Slayaway Camp: Butcher’s Cut and Costume Quest will be replaced at the end of the month with new games, while Maid of Sker will be available until November 15.

While fans have to wait a little while longer until they can download the latest Game with Gold titles, there are new options to pick from this weekend.

Microsoft’s Free Play Days event is back and includes the following games that can be played for free until Monday, October 26.
