How to claim Game Pass perks
TrueAchievements frames the list as in-game goodies for multiple titles, including Sea of Thieves and 2XKO. Its instructions are:
- Open the Xbox Game Pass hub on your console, or the Xbox app on PC or mobile.
- Go to the Perks tab and select the offer. Some offers give you a code to claim.
- Launch the relevant game or service. Claimed items should show up the next time you load it.
- For in-game benefits, sign in to the free-to-play game and link it to your Xbox account. The items then appear in-game.
The roundup doesn't say which offers use codes and which use account linking. It also doesn't say whether every plan qualifies. A separate WindowsForum October roundup listed eligible plans for the Riot Games benefits as Ultimate, Premium, Essential and PC Game Pass. Don't assume that holds for every perk. Check the details in the Perks tab.
Deadlines in the next two weeks
Some offers have two dates. "Claim by" is when you must grab the perk. "Redeem by" is a later cutoff for using it.

Long-running and recurring benefits

- Discord Nitro is one free month through March 30, 2027, for people who haven't had Nitro in the past 12 months.

- Fortnite Crew, listed with Ultimate and 800 V-Bucks a month
- Ad-free Microsoft Bubble, Jewel and Mahjong

- Zenless Zone Zero rewards after the 3.1 update
These aren't all new for November. The list mixes this month's drops with perks that have been around for months. TrueAchievements' October roundup carries many of the same entries, including Delta Force, Stumble Guys and the Riot titles.
Things that don't add up
- Asphalt Legends: TrueAchievements' November page says to claim by November 10. Its October page said November 11, and so did a PureXbox October roundup. The November page may have changed the date, or it may be a typo. Claim it early.
- The Finals Welcome Pack: The listed deadline is January 21, 2026. That's almost ten months before the article's date, so it's probably a typo for 2027, or the entry is stale. Don't count on it.
- Throne and Liberty: PureXbox's October roundup listed an in-game claim date of November 11, against November 16 here. Treat the earlier date as the safe one if you're unsure.
- PUBG: PureXbox's October roundup called the pack Survivor Pack #3, while TrueAchievements says #2. Names and numbers vary between outlets.
- Wording errors: The Rainbow Six entry says "IQ Vwrbena," which is a typo for Verbena. TrueAchievements also says the Zenless Zone Zero bundle includes a "W-Enging" module. The Mahjong entry is followed by what looks like the Delta Force item list, so the list has some formatting glitches.
I couldn't find an official Xbox listing for each offer. The details above are as reported by TrueAchievements, with cross-checks against PureXbox and WindowsForum's own October coverage. Publishers can change or pull a perk without notice.
What to do now
- Claim the November 8 and 10 offers first: Rainbow Six Siege, Delta Force, Asphalt Legends and the Shangri-La Frontier manga.
- Next, handle the perks with a redeem-by date: Stumble Guys and Throne and Liberty, due November 23.
- Link accounts early. Overwatch and Diablo IV need Battle.net, Discord needs an Xbox link, and Albion Online needs a Game Pass link.
- Look at the Perks tab itself. It shows what your plan and platform can actually claim.
The Perks program is a small way to get extra value from a subscription you already pay for. The catch is that you have to keep up with the dates. Late claims and unlinked accounts are the usual reasons a perk goes unused.
