Xbox Game Pass Standard Adds 4 2024 Games

Key Takeaways

  • Xbox Game Pass Standard added four 2024 titles to its library on November 6.
  • The new additions include Harold Halibut and Turnip Boy Robs a Bank.
  • Aside from Harold Halibut, all of the November 6 releases are available on both the Xbox One and Xbox Series X/S.

As a seasoned gamer with over two decades of experience under my belt, I can confidently say that the recent additions to the Xbox Game Pass Standard library have made it a force to be reckoned with. The inclusion of games like Turnip Boy Robs a Bank and Harold Halibut has only added fuel to the fire, providing me with endless hours of entertainment.


The collection for the standard version of Xbox Game Pass has grown with the addition of “Turnip Boy Robs a Bank” and three more games. These newcomers have been accessible to certain Xbox Game Pass subscribers since the early part of 2024.

In the waning days of summer, Microsoft made changes to its subscription service by phasing out its previous console level, replacing it with Xbox Game Pass Standard. Priced at $14.99 a month, this membership offers a more restricted game selection compared to PC Game Pass and XGP Ultimate due to the absence of day-one game releases. Since that time, Microsoft has been incrementally adding some games initially introduced on day-one to the library for standard members.

On November 6th, the collection within the Xbox Game Pass Standard grew with four new titles: “The Rewinder”, “Turnip Boy Robs a Bank”, “Go Mecha Ball”, and “Harold Halibut”. These recently added games are all from the year 2024, but it’s worth noting that “The Rewinder” was actually produced in 2021. However, it wasn’t until April 2024 that it was made available on Xbox consoles, and coincidentally, this is also when it unexpectedly debuted on the Xbox Game Pass platform.

Xbox Game Pass Standard users can currently enjoy playing games like “Go Mecha Ball”, “Turnip Boy Robs a Bank”, and “The Rewinder” on the most recent versions of Microsoft’s gaming consoles, while the narrative-focused game “Harold Halibut” is exclusive to the Xbox Series X/S within this membership tier. In line with Microsoft’s announcement from July 2024, day-one releases for Game Pass Standard may take up to six months to become available, with the timeframe varying on a title-by-title basis. The recently added games, such as these four, have been accessible to PC Game Pass and XGP Ultimate members for approximately seven to ten months prior to their inclusion in the standard version of the service.

According to Microsoft’s usual release schedule since late summer, there might be another round of games added to XGP Standard before the month ends. If this happens, we can expect more details about these potential new releases in the second part of the Xbox Game Pass November 2024 lineup reveal. It’s already known that the upcoming wave will feature STALKER 2: Heart of Chornobyl and Nine Sols, scheduled to launch on the 20th and 26th of this month respectively.

First, let’s welcome Goat Simulator Remastered to PC Game Pass and Xbox Game Pass Ultimate on November 7. After that exciting event, Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 will take flight, expected to arrive on November 19, four days following the removal of seven titles from their ever-changing content library.
