November has been an amazing month for PC gaming here at Xbox. We launched even more Xbox Game Studio games on day one with Game Pass for PC, an offer for those who haven’t tried Game Pass for PC yet to get their first 3 months for $1, and new Xbox app updates for Xbox Insiders to test on PC. Let’s do a quick recap of anything you might have missed.

Driving across the landscapes of Mexico has never looked better, thanks to Forza Horizon 5. Vibrant and ever-evolving open world landscapes await you with amazing driving action in hundreds of the world’s greatest cars. Lead breathtaking expeditions across a world of striking contrast and beauty while immersing yourself in a deep campaign with hundreds of challenges that reward you for engaging in the activities you love.
