Xbox Game Pass subscribers have a steady run of new titles arriving in early November 2026, with several day-one launches landing on the service alongside a handful of late-October additions and exits. The Xbox Game Pass November 2026 lineup mixes brand-new releases with games that joined the catalog just before the month began, according to Xbox Wire. But not every big launch from the first week made the cut.
Day-One Launches Hitting Xbox Game Pass in November
Xbox Wire’s “Next Week on Xbox” roundup for Nov. 2-6 lists dozens of new Xbox releases, and only some of them come with Game Pass. The co-op action builder Gravhounds (Game Preview) kicked things off Nov. 2, followed by Pit of Goblin on Nov. 3, Void/Breaker’s 1.0 launch on Nov. 4 and Escape Academy 2: Back 2 School on Nov. 5.
Pit of Goblin and Void/Breaker are available on Game Pass Ultimate, Premium and PC Game Pass across Cloud, Xbox Series X/S and PC. Escape Academy 2 skips Premium, landing on Ultimate and PC Game Pass across Cloud, Xbox Series X/S, handheld and PC, according to Xbox’s Nov. 3 Game Pass announcement.

Football Manager 27 entered PC Early Access on Nov. 3 for anyone who pre-ordered on PC, along with Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass members, Xbox Wire reported. Football Manager 27 Console follows Nov. 10 on Ultimate and PC Game Pass.
Two launches from the same week did not join the service. Zero Parades: Director’s Cut, the espionage RPG from the creators of Disco Elysium, released Nov. 3, and the isometric action RPG Kingdom of Night arrived Nov. 4. Xbox Wire lists neither as a Game Pass title.
What It Means for Fans
For subscribers tracking the Xbox Game Pass November 2026 additions, the tier you pay for matters more than usual this month. Ultimate and PC Game Pass members get every day-one title above, including Football Manager 27 Early Access. Premium members get Pit of Goblin and Void/Breaker but will have to wait on Escape Academy 2 and Football Manager 27.
Console Football Manager fans have a clear date to circle: Nov. 10, when FM27 Console arrives. Fans interested in handheld play should look at Escape Academy 2, the only first-week day-one launch listed with handheld support.
Late October Additions Still Fresh on the Service
Several games joined Xbox Game Pass just days before November began, giving new and returning subscribers plenty to catch up on. The Séance of Blake Manor arrived Oct. 27 on Ultimate, Premium and PC Game Pass, covering Cloud, Xbox Series X/S and PC.
Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade and Mouthwashing both joined the lineup Oct. 29 on Ultimate, Premium and PC Game Pass. Mouthwashing also supports handheld play alongside Cloud, Xbox Series X/S and PC.
Titles Leaving Xbox Game Pass
Nine games left the service Oct. 31, just ahead of the November additions, according to Pure Xbox. The batch included Deep Rock Galactic, LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga, Wartales and three Double Fine remasters: Day of the Tentacle Remastered, Full Throttle Remastered and Grim Fandango Remastered.
More exits are on the way. Football Manager 26 and Football Manager 26 Console are set to leave Nov. 10, the same day FM27 launches, and 1000xResist, Barbie Horse Trails and Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 are among the titles scheduled to leave Nov. 15.
What’s Next
Xbox Wire has already posted its roundup for Nov. 9-13. Warhammer Survivors and Tanuki: Pon’s Summer arrive Nov. 10 on Ultimate and PC Game Pass, Thronefall follows Nov. 11 with Premium included, and John Carpenter’s Toxic Commando lands Nov. 12. Readers tracking other recent Game Pass debuts can check the Battlefield 6 Xbox Game Pass debut and ongoing coverage of the Xbox new IP strategy for more on what is shaping the service’s lineup this fall.
