As confirmed in November 2024's second batch of new games coming to Game Pass, today is a fantastic day to be a subscriber. Xbox Game Pass adds Stalker 2, Little Kitty, Big City, and PlateUp today, bringing a hardcore survival FPS to Ultimate and some catty adventuring and multiplayer mayhem to Game Pass Standard.

Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl (Game Pass Ultimate, PC Game Pass)

Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl offers a brutal first-person survival adventure experience. Playing as a lone stalker, you will explore a huge 64km² radioactive zone to uncover the truth hidden away in the heart of Chornobyl. To survive in The Zone, you will need to fight your way through endless horrifying mutated creatures, decide whether or not human factions are either friend or foe, scrounge for gear, and keep on top of your hunger, sleep, and health.

The Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl achievements are currently missing in action, but we expect them to drop shortly.

Little Kitty, Big City (Game Pass Standard)

Little Kitty, Big City is already included in Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass, but now Game Pass Standard members can get in on the feline fun. For the uninitiated, Little Kitty, Big City is a charming adventure game where you play as a loveable black cat who is trying to find their way back home after getting lost in the city. With an open-world playground to explore, you will have the opportunity to cause all sorts of catty chaos, take plenty of naps in the sun, and encounter a cast of friendly animals who need your help.

As for the Little Kitty, Big City achievements, the 1,000G here is pretty easy. You'll need around six hours for the completion, but you can speed through the adventure game's achievement list if you use our Little Kitty, Big City walkthrough.

PlateUp! (Game Pass Standard)

Much like Little Kitty, Big City, PlateUp is already a part of the Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass libraries, but now Standard subscribers can check out the culinary cooking caper. PlateUp offers co-op cooking action for up to four players. You and your pals will build a restaurant from the ground up by choosing the dishes you want to serve, the equipment you'll use to serve up your culinary delights, and the layout of your kitchen. To build your restaurant into a successful business, you will need to cook, serve, and manage your way through 15 hectic days to hopefully unlock a new franchise.

While the PlateUp achievements can all be unlocked solo, they are pretty tough, and the time it takes to complete its list will depend on your skill level. However, if you happen to find someone who has already completed the game and has some saved maps, you should be able to get through the PlateUp achievements pretty easily.

As an extra, Genshin Impact launches today and is free to play for all users regardless of a Game Pass subscription, but Game Pass Ultimate subscribers can play the action-RPG via Xbox Cloud Gaming. They will also receive free rewards with each major update of the game. From today, Ultimate members will find a special bundle of items waiting in their in-game mailbox.

As for November's Game Pass casualties, Microsoft has confirmed that nine games are leaving Xbox Game Pass soon, including Rollerdrome and Conan Exiles.
