Xbox One Games with Gold subscribers don't have to wait too much longer before they discover which new free games are coming as part of the November 2018 Games with Gold lineup.
The existing crop of Games with Gold titles for November is only available for another six days so we're fast approaching that window where Microsoft's Major Nelson unveils the new Xbox One and Xbox 360 titles coming for December.
In the vast majority of cases, the Games with Gold announcement has been made on or around the 22nd of the month.
Obviously, we're much later in the month at this point so we're anticipating an announcement early next week.
Partly so Microsoft can give Xbox users as much time as possible to download the existing crop of Games with Gold titles before they're removed
Equally, we usually see Xbox announce Games with Gold ahead of Sony's equivalent PlayStation Plus games, which should be coming next Wednesday.
It's equally possible that in the lead up to the official announcement, players may notice some rumours and leaks.
Especially when you consider that Microsoft has made a habit of accidentally revealing the games with gold lineup on the Xbox dashboard ahead of time more than once this year.
For the time being though, there doesn't appear to be any suggestions as to what games could be made available in December outside of a few sites who are simply crossing their fingers and guessing.
For those unfamiliar with how Games with Gold works – perhaps for anyone who only got their first Xbox during the Black Friday sales – here's a quick explainer:
Every month Xbox Live Gold members will receive four free games – two Xbox One games and two backwards compatible Xbox 360 games.
Typically, Games With Gold includes two titles available for a period of two weeks and another two available for a month. It can get confusing and you don't want to accidentally miss out on downloading a great game, so it's worth marking the dates down on your calendar to ensure you don't miss out.

If you want to know a little bit more about the games on offer, here's a round-up for you:
• Battlefield 1
The highly acclaimed first-person shooter, Battlefield 1, is coming to Games with Gold! Fight to survive in the adventure-filled single-player campaign or join up to 64 players in epic multiplayer battle. Destructive environments, dynamic weather conditions, and vehicle-based combat in land, sea, and air are yours to experience as you dominate the battlefield.
• Race the Sun
Test your coordination and reflexes in Race the Sun. Inspired by arcade games of the past, short games sessions are mixed with nerve-wracking tension and pure fun as you hurtle your solar-powered craft at breakneck speeds in a race against time. The rules are simple: Dont crash, stay in the light, and dont slow down!
• Assassins Creed
Plug yourself back into the Animus in the game that started the franchise in Assassins Creed. Relive the adventures of your assassin ancestor, Altaïr, at the start of the centuries-long battle between the Assassins and the Templars over the mysterious artifact, the Apple of Eden.
• Dantes Inferno
Begin your epic quest of vengeance and redemption in Dantes Inferno. Based on the classic poem, rescue the soul of your beloved Beatrice from the Nine Circles of Hell in this fast-paced action title. To succeed, youll need to confront fierce monsters, hideous demons, and your own personal sins.
