Xbox Game Pass is expanding its library this November with a mix of major franchises, indie titles, and cooperative experiences. The first wave of November additions brings several day-one releases along with updates and in-game benefits for existing subscribers.
Major Day-One Releases
One of the most anticipated additions is Call of Duty: Black Ops 7, arriving on November 14 for Cloud, Console, and PC. Developed by Treyarch and Raven Software, Black Ops 7 offers a co-op campaign alongside a traditional multiplayer mode that launches with 16 standard 6v6 maps and two 20v20 large-scale maps. The title also continues the Round-Based Zombies experience in the Dark Aether storyline, providing fans with a full range of gameplay options at launch. The game is available on day one with Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass.
Indie players will also have access to Dead Static Drive, a survival-horror title blending 1980s Americana with Eldritch horror elements. Scheduled for November 5, the game follows a nightmarish road trip through small towns and uncanny landscapes, offering players an atmospheric and narrative-driven experience. On the same day, Sniper Elite: Resistance will arrive, focusing on stealth, tactical third-person combat, and cooperative gameplay set in occupied France.
Other notable day-one releases include Egging On, where players navigate challenging platforming sequences as a fragile egg, Whiskerwood, a city-building game with mice under the watch of cat overlords, and Voidtrain, an interdimensional adventure featuring train-based exploration, crafting, and combat against strange creatures.
Expanding the Library with Diverse Experiences
November also sees the arrival of cooperative puzzle and strategy titles. Great God Grove tasks players with preventing the end of the world by solving puzzles and managing interactions with warring gods. Lara Croft and the Temple of Osiris returns as a four-player co-op adventure that challenges players to explore temples, defeat enemies, and solve traps. Meanwhile, Pigeon Simulator lets players work as members of a secret unit tasked with capturing anomalies across New Squawk City, supporting cooperative multiplayer with up to four players.
Fast-paced action continues with Relic Hunters Legend, a looter-shooter RPG emphasizing teamwork, powerful builds, and mission-based gameplay. For a slower-paced, cozy experience, Winter Burrow offers woodland survival gameplay, allowing players to gather resources, craft, and rebuild their mouse community in preparation for the winter season.
Recently Added Titles and Updates
Several titles are now available for Game Pass subscribers, including Keeper, a narrative-driven adventure told without words, and The Outer Worlds 2, the sequel to Obsidian Entertainment’s sci-fi RPG. Fans of high-action combat can explore Ninja Gaiden 4, while survival enthusiasts can experience Pacific Drive, a first-person driving survival game set in a supernatural Pacific Northwest.
Game updates and DLC this month include Age of Empires IV: Dynasties of the East, which introduces four new civilizations and strategic options. Lost in Random: The Eternal Die Wager’s Gauntlet Update adds weekly challenges and new in-game rewards, and Stellaris: Console Edition has received performance and content updates on Xbox Series X|S.
