With October in the rear-view mirror, it’s time to turn our attention to the Games with Gold freebies that Microsoft is providing to Xbox Live Gold members in November.

Reminder: All Xbox 360 games in the Games for Gold promotion also work on Xbox One in Backward Compatibility mode too. So Xbox One users with Xbox Live Gold subscriptions are technically getting at least four free games each month.

Here’s what’s free this month.

Xbox One

Trackmania Turbo
Normal price: $39.99
Free availability: November 1 to November 30

Description: “Test your arcade racing skills in outlandish tracks and challenge your friends at home (offline splitscreen) or online.”

Tales from the Borderlands Complete Season (Episodes 1-5)
Normal price: $14.99
Free availability: November 16 to December 15

Description: “Set on the unforgiving world of Pandora after the events seen in Borderlands 2, this is a story full of Borderlands’ trademark humor, following two adventurers on their quest for greatness. You’ll play as Rhys, a Hyperion ‘suit’ with dreams of being the next Handsome Jack, and Fiona, a Pandoran con artist looking to score her biggest ever swindle. Thrown together as unwilling partners in an adventure to recover cash they both think is theirs, their journey will take you on a wild ride where gangsters, bandit lords, and Vault Hunters are just some of the obstacles you’ll encounter.”
