All the Free Games You Can Play in November

Instead of focusing on the fact that 2021 is almost over (how?!), let’s turn our attention to all the great games that are free to play this month! A slate of new games has been added to PlayStation Plus and Xbox Game Pass, including new releases like Age of Empires 4. We’ve also got you covered with all the new-release games that are coming later in the month, like Forza Horizon 5.

These games aren’t technically free, since you need to be a subscriber to take advantage of them, but, you can sign up for PlayStation Plus here and Xbox Game Pass here for an affordable monthly fee. Once you’ve subscribed to the service, you can play all the games included in its library at no extra cost. It’s a cheap way to play a lot of games and try out any you’re not sure about buying outright.
