Xbox Game Pass Reveals November Wave 1 Lineup With 15 Games
Microsoft has officially unveiled the first wave of Xbox Game Pass additions for November, a batch covering 15 games that roll out between November 3 and November 17 across console, PC, and cloud. Several titles in the group are launching into the library on their release day, giving subscribers immediate access at no additional cost. The lineup covers a broad range of tastes, from sports management and co-op puzzle solving to pixel-art action, and stands as the platform holder’s opening statement for the month.
Football Manager 27 arrived as a day-one addition on November 3, with the PC version available to Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass subscribers. The Console Edition follows on November 10, also launching day one on the same two tiers, and is built around controller input and living-room play. According to Microsoft’s announcement, the console release is adapted specifically for gamepad use, extending the management simulation beyond the desktop setup where the series has traditionally lived.
Escape Academy 2: Back to School joins the service on November 5, expanding the escape-room puzzle formula into open-world gameplay with support for both local and online two-player co-op. Warhammer Survivors lands on November 10, described as an officially licensed “bullet heaven” action game from Auroch Digital, made in collaboration with poncle, the studio behind Vampire Survivors. It renders Warhammer champions, factions, and weapons in pixel-animation style, translating the tabletop universe into a survivor-style format.
Microsoft also confirmed that a batch of games will depart Game Pass during November. The known list includes 1000xRESIST, Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2, 007 GoldenEye, Moonlighter, Wreckfest, and Winter Burrow. The second wave of November additions is expected to be announced later in the month. The opening slate leans heavily on day-one releases rather than catalogue backfill, which is arguably the strongest selling point here — subscribers who like management sims and co-op puzzling have the most to gain this time around.
