The final week of November brings a wide range of new games to Xbox platforms, offering players a mix of horror, strategy, action, platforming, and simulation experiences. With many titles optimized for Xbox Series X|S and several supporting Smart Delivery or Xbox Play Anywhere, the week gives players a broad selection of genres to explore. Here is a closer look at everything arriving from November 24 to 28.
A Strong Start to the Week with Strategy and Puzzle Releases
The week opens with Primal Fray on November 24, a turn-based strategy roguelite set across procedurally generated floating islands. Players control a roster of heroes, using their abilities to counter enemy units while uncovering a narrative tied to the Ironclad Corp. The game focuses on tactical movement and team composition, offering replayability through its shifting battlefields.
Horror, Racing, and Roguelites Lead the November 25 Launches
A.I.L.A lands on November 25 with a first-person horror approach built around testing an experimental AI in a near-future environment. The game blends psychological tension with elements of virtual immersion as players attempt to separate reality from simulation. Compadrone: Land Wars also arrives the same day, presenting a family-friendly top-down shooter built around drone combat and light tower defense mechanics.
Players looking for a slower-paced challenge get Delivery of Us, a rooftop puzzle game centered on guiding a carrier pigeon across carefully plotted routes. Kill it with Fire! 2 expands its spider-hunting premise with online co-op, multiverse missions, and a PvP mode that continues the series’ focus on humorous action. For players wanting something more grounded, the Mudness Offroad & Buried Alive bundle offers a mix of environmental survival and escape-focused horror, while Project Motor Racing provides a simulation-style experience with 70 vehicles across 13 classes.
Action, Platforming, and Atmospheric Adventures Arrive on November 26
November 26 is the busiest day of the week, featuring a broad spread of titles. Terminator 2D: No Fate recreates moments from Terminator 2: Judgment Day while adding original missions and multiple endings. Players can switch between key characters like Sarah Connor, the T-800, and a future-war version of John Connor.
Brotherhood brings a darker tone as players attempt to escape a facility operated by a hostile religious faction experimenting on humans. The protagonist’s resistance to mutagens becomes a central mechanic, allowing for combat-focused progression.
Platformer fans have several options with King’s Justice, Knight’s Quest, Poko’s Arctic Quest, and Schildmaid MX. Each offers different gameplay styles ranging from block-based puzzle design to classic 2D platforming and fast-paced shoot ’em up action. Space Frontier revisits arcade-style space combat with ship upgrades and boss encounters, while Torii provides a more reflective journey centered on emotional themes and dreamlike exploration.
