Xbox One and Xbox 360 Free Games With Gold for November 2015

November's Xbox 360 titles are backwards-compatible.

92 Comments

Microsoft on Wednesday announced the Games With Gold lineup for November 2015. Xbox Live Gold users are getting four free games during the month spread across Xbox One and Xbox 360. Free titles for November 2015 include Pneuma: Breath of Life and Knight Squad on Xbox One, as well as Dirt 3 and Dungeon Siege III for Xbox 360. The full lineup of titles and dates is available below.

No Caption Provided

As announced previously, all Games With Gold Xbox 360 titles are backwards-compatible on Xbox One starting in November, meaning new-generation players can actually get four free games next month. The Xbox One update that introduces backwards compatibility support arrives on November 12, which is in time to download the first of the month's free Xbox 360 games.

November 2015 Games With Gold Lineup

Xbox One:

  • Pneuma: Breath of Life (November 1-30)
  • Knight Squad (November 16-December 15)

Xbox 360:

  • Dirt 3 (November 1-15)
  • Dungeon Siege III (November 16-30)

In the meantime, it's not too late to still grab some of October's free games, including Valiant Hearts: The Great War and Telltale's The Walking Dead.

Thanks for the article. Just want to inform all folks who live outside US that Xbox 360 is a great media Player. If you want to access Netflix and other streaming stations on your Xbox 360 you can use UnoTelly as I do to get around the geo block.

Hopefully Fallout 3 and Fallout New Vegas become free on Gold soon so we can play and download them.

@rosinmonkekyx17: Yes they would have been, but that's Microsoft and Sony for you, you pay them so much for Xbox Live/PS Plus a month, and what do they do in return? Kick you in the teeth! But hey look at this way, at least they give us games! They could give us nothing at all.

Even Xbox One gamers with common sense have commented on how bad this selection is for the current gen titles. I only see the regular hard core fanatics proclaiming how great these duds are.

@bobafetthatesu: You are the gawd of video games. ONLY YOU can decide whether a selection is good and anybody who likes them are wrong. I wish I had the time to tell you how stupid your post is.

@7tizz: I like it when they take me out of my comfort zone and try something else. I never played a game like defense grid when it came out, tried it and loved it.

DS3 should have been fantastic, I was all set to buy it after playing the demo. Unfortunately it was rubbish due to the utterly stupid multiplayer that doesn't let you play your own characters, and allows you to be a massive troll by selling all the host's stuff. I'm so glad I read about it in a review before I clicked buy, I'm mad they ruined the franchise but I'd have been livid had I actually given them money.

@Red_Frog: The MP was bad, and even the SP character classes were very poorly balanced. For example, a solo sorceress versus certain levels and enemy/boss types was way under-powered, yet far too OP for most levels.

Fortunately Diablo3's console port fixed ALL of that -- it's not only the best couch co-op, it's also the best pick-up-and-play ARPG to date. I still occasionally drop in to work on a character, and the auto-scaling is stellar.

Not a bad line-up, considering BC. Dirt 3 is tons of fun, and I never played DS3 and Pneuma, so I'll give them a try.

Pneuma is a very easy 1000 gamerscore for those who are interested.

@ramen_noodles1: It can be, I mean the visuals are nice and some of the puzzles are clever. It certainly takes more effort than Avatar The Last Airbender lol

Yeah you have to finish the story and there's one achievement where you have to look at some paintings in the correct order to unlock the last cheevo.

With Fallout 4 [and Rise of the Tomb Raider] coming in next month, along with Xbox One's BC, none of these game aren't on my radar. Halo 5 and soon to be Fallout 4 will take most of my times so to hell with those GWG.

As always, we'll try this again in December MS.

Dirt 3 is a great game but it is over 4 years old! Certainly they could offer something newer to the subscribers.

@brian_ghattas: Um, that's not how it works. The bigger named games almost always tend to be older releases. Rayman Legends was probably the newest AAA game ever offered on one of these free game programs. Publishers/Developers want paid for downloads. Indie games trying to get exposure tend to be cheaper than AAA games, until the AAA games lifecycle is at it's end.

I am not into puzzle games so Pneuma isnt my cup of tea.
Knight Squad is a multiplayer arena game in Gauntlet style...
Both Xbox One games are dissapointing imo.

I can't say I'm excited by this month's batch of free games. It doesn't have the repetition of October, so at least that's a plus. As for last month, Valiant Hearts was okay, but it was more of a story than a game, and the story wasn't really that great. The perfect healing achievement near the game's end was super frustrating to me, which really knocked the it down a few pegs. The Walking Dead had a better story, but it was even less of a game than Valiant Hearts. I didn't like the how the last chapter played out either...there should've been an ambiguous end based upon your choices. The Walking Dead could've been alot better if it played out more as a choose your own adventure than a fixed story.

As for November, Dungeon Siege 3 may be okay. I never bought it due to middling/poor reviews. I'm expecting to be a dumbed down Dungeon Siege 2 with an annoying story...which is okay for a free game. Hopefully it doesn't have the game crashing bugs that the PSP version had. Pneuma seems to be interesting based on some online chatter, and hopefully it turns out to be a good game. I know very little about knight squad and I think it's multiplayer only. I doubt I'll play it more than a few times, as I prefer single player games. Something inside my head keeps telling me it's another dud like IDARB. Lastly, I probably pass on Dirt 3, as I'm not into racing games.

I hope MS does something a little more exciting for December. I keep hearing that Ryse is desired/considered as a "free" game candidate and that's something that has more buzz to it than any of the recent XB1 offerings. Limbo would be really nice on either XB1 or the 360. Sony's already had it as a free offerring, so it shouldn't be that hard to get. Alternatively, Torchlight for the 360 would be awesome.

@beuneus12: And why is that? The games that you're bragging about recently on xbox one have already been on playstation in the past, did you know last month you got a game on xbox 360 that you got on xbox one the month before? What about the fact that they gave the same game twice, effectively making the amount of games you got last month 2 games since the reusing of a game on a weaker system + 1 for 2.

@beuneus12: Nonsense Rocket League beats out everything they have offered so far, as a matter of fact Rocket League could have been the only game for free, I would still be content with it because thats how much F***ing fun it is!

It's about time Pneuma goes free... I was going to buy it when it released day one but it's kind of overpriced for it genre... Now's my chance!

Knight Squad is supposed to be great fun. But I thought it was still in early access on Seam.
