It's a new month, which means new Xbox Game Pass games!
Xbox Game Pass, PC Game Pass, Xbox Cloud Gaming, and the all-encompassing Xbox Game Pass Ultimate each provide numerous perks to subscribers, including unlimited access to the best Xbox Game Pass games and many more. It's often considered to be one of the greatest values in the video game industry, and Xbox is intent on driving that idea home with new additions to the services every single month.
Xbox Game Pass is available on Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, and Xbox One consoles. PC Game Pass is available on Windows PCs. Xbox Cloud Gaming grants remote access to hundreds of titles on practically any device through streaming. Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, as the name implies, is the quintessential subscription that includes all the aforementioned services, online multiplayer, exclusive perks, and EA Play access. With new games arriving all the time, it can be easy to lose track of new additions.
Here's every single game leaving the service, as well as all the new Xbox Game Pass games right now. If you want the complete list, be sure to bookmark our ultimate guide to every game on Xbox Game Pass. This list isn't as applicable to Xbox Game Pass Core and its curated library of Xbox games, but you can still keep up to date with all the titles available in the main Xbox Game Pass catalog.
Note: Bold text indicates the game in question is coming to that platform, but is already available on other platforms through Xbox Game Pass.
Xbox Game Pass: Best new games this month
Say hi to new Xbox Game Pass games. You'll rarely go wrong with the diverse selection of games on Xbox Game Pass, but there are always a handful of titles that stand above the rest — including, but not limited to, exceptional indie games, addictive multiplayer games, expansive AAA games, and Microsoft's first-party titles and projects. These are the best new games that have recently arrived on Xbox Game Pass that you shouldn't hesitate to play.
Remnant II
- Available: Nov. 29 (Xbox Series X|S Optimized, Windows PC, & Xbox Cloud Gaming)
Remnant 2 is the long-awaited sequel to the beloved Soulslike-with-guns, expanding and building upon the original in every conceivable way. It's brutal and visceral, with countless ways to build your character to be as powerful as possible. It also supports co-op, so you can rip and tear your way through hordes of enemies alongside a friend.
In our Remnant 2 review, we called it a "well-deserved sequel that delivers on making every aspect of the original game all the better." It wasn't perfect at launch, but the game has steadily improved since then. On Xbox and PC Game Pass, it's in the best condition it has ever been, making this the perfect time to play. You can also score a discount on Remnant 2: The Awakened King, the game's first major DLC.
Persona 5 Tactica
- Available: Nov. 17 (Xbox Series X|S Optimized, Xbox One, Windows PC, & Xbox Cloud Gaming)
Much of Persona is or has been featured on Xbox and PC Game Pass, but this isn't a mainline game. Persona 5 Tactica is a spin-off that trades the traditional JRPG gameplay for a new strategy-RPG formula, and to great success. In our Persona 5 Tactica review, we called it an "entertaining introduction to strategic RPGs for Xbox gamers."
Now available on Xbox Game Pass, this is a great one both for strategy and Persona fans, and could be a good introduction to either for new players. It's a solid, fun game with a lot of content. It's not the most challenging title, though, so those who demand difficulty from their games maybe won't enjoy their time as much.
Spirittea
- Available: Nov. 13 (Xbox Series X|S Optimized, Xbox One, Windows PC, & Xbox Cloud Gaming)
Love Stardew Valley but want it to be a little more spooky? Spirittea has you explore a large and diverse city filled with all manner of spirits. You'll befriend a huge number of characters, creatively and charmingly written to win over your heart. There's so much to do in Spirittea, enough to keep you occupied for dozens of hours.
This is one of the best recent indie releases onto Xbox Game Pass, and it as already been a huge success. If you want another game to obsess over, Spirittea is a good choice. In our Spirittea review, we called it a "charming and amusing way to spend a spare hundred hours managing your own bath house and meeting troublesome spirits."

Xbox Game Pass: All known upcoming launch games
Microsoft gives us updates on games heading to Xbox Game Pass a few weeks before those games become available, usually twice a month. However, Xbox and ID@Xbox events toss aside this expectation to announce a flurry of games that are hitting Xbox Game Pass day and date, meaning they're launching into the service when they land on Xbox platforms. That means day one access to all of these games for Xbox Game Pass subscribers, including some of the best upcoming Xbox games.
Many of these games are far enough out that they don't even have a release date, and we're not certain exactly which platforms they'll come to through Xbox Game Pass. Still, this list in our Xbox Game Pass guide will give you an idea of what to look out for in the future of Xbox Game Pass. We'll constantly update this list as we get new information about release dates, when games become available, and what platforms are getting them.
