The xbox game pass november 2026 games confirmed so far give subscribers a busy first half of the month, with seven games arriving between November 2 and November 11, 2026. That is the honest headline as of October 31, 2026. Xbox has not yet posted a full first November wave, so this is not a complete month list. It is the confirmed-so-far list, built from Xbox Wire announcements and publisher announcements tracked in reputable roundups.
The seven confirmed games cover very different tastes. There is a co-op dog building game, a goblin dungeon crawler, a fast shooter leaving early access, a puzzle sequel, a football management giant, a Warhammer survival game, and a small tower-defence game. Most of them land on Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass, with two also listed for the Premium tier. None of them is presented here as a full-month lineup, because more November additions are expected and have not been announced yet.
This guide lists every confirmed game with its date, platforms, and tier notes, explains what is leaving, and separates what is confirmed from what is still unannounced. Where coverage disagrees or a tier is not listed yet, this guide says so instead of filling the gap with a guess.

Xbox Game Pass November 2026 Games: Confirmed So Far
SUMMARY: This section gives the confirmed xbox game pass november 2026 games list as of October 31, 2026, and explains why it is a partial list, not a full month lineup.
Seven games are confirmed for the xbox game pass november 2026 games so far. They arrive in a steady run from November 2 to November 11, 2026, with no confirmed addition yet announced for the second half of the month in the coverage checked. That does not mean the second half will be empty. Xbox usually adds games in waves through the month, and in October 2026 it published wave posts on October 7 and October 20. A first November wave post had not been published as of the October 27 and October 30 roundups checked for this guide.
The confirmed dates are: Gravhounds on November 2, Pit of Goblin on November 3, VOID/BREAKER version 1.0 on November 4, Escape Academy 2: Back 2 School on November 5, Football Manager 27 and Warhammer Survivors on November 10, and Thronefall on November 11. Each date is tied to an Xbox Wire announcement, a publisher announcement, or a store listing tracked in those roundups, not to a rumour list.
| Date (November 2026) | Game | Type |
|---|---|---|
| November 2 | Gravhounds | Game Preview, day one |
| November 3 | Pit of Goblin | Full launch, day one |
| November 4 | VOID/BREAKER | Version 1.0, console debut |
| November 5 | Escape Academy 2: Back 2 School | Full launch, day one |
| November 10 | Football Manager 27 | Full launch, day one |
| November 10 | Warhammer Survivors | Full launch, day one |
| November 11 | Thronefall | Xbox debut, day one |
A useful way to read this table is as a first-half schedule. The first four games arrive on four consecutive days, which is an unusually tight run. Then there is a short gap before a double launch on November 10, followed by Thronefall on November 11. If you only have time for a few of these, the early-November run is where the variety is, while November 10 is where the two biggest names land.
November 2 to 5: Gravhounds, Pit of Goblin, VOID/BREAKER and Escape Academy 2
SUMMARY: This section covers the first four xbox game pass november 2026 games in date order, with what each game is and what kind of player it suits.
Gravhounds opens the month on November 2, 2026, as a Game Preview release. It is a co-op action-builder from Octopus Panic for one to four players. Players control dog characters who build and defend outposts on hostile planets, gather resources, and fight alien creatures. Coverage also describes physics-driven gravity play, with players hurling objects and enemies across the battlefield. Because it is a Game Preview title, it is unfinished by design, so players should expect updates, rough edges, and changing content rather than a finished, final game.
Pit of Goblin follows on November 3, 2026, as a full launch and a day-one Game Pass game. It is a co-op horror dungeon crawler from Friendly Foe, published by Bright Gambit, in which players play goblins scavenging through crypts, caverns, and ruins. It is leaving early access for this launch, which means the November 3 version is its 1.0 release. It is the only November game so far with tiers confirmed directly by Xbox in the coverage checked: Ultimate, Premium, and PC Game Pass, with cloud, console, and PC listed. One roundup also reports a Microsoft Store launch time of 14:00 UTC, but that hour is reported, not quoted from Xbox Wire in the material checked, so check the app on the day.
VOID/BREAKER arrives on November 4, 2026, with its version 1.0 release. It is a high-velocity, bullet-hell roguelite first-person shooter from Stubby Games, published by Playstack. The 1.0 release matters because the game was already available in early access through PC Game Pass and Game Pass Ultimate. November 4 therefore brings two things at once: the full release, and the game’s debut on Xbox Series X|S consoles. Outside Game Pass, coverage lists it at $29.99, or €26.99 in Europe, but that is a purchase price, not a Game Pass charge.
Escape Academy 2: Back 2 School lands on November 5, 2026, as a day-one launch. It is the sequel to a puzzle game that drew more than 4 million players, made by Coin Crew Games and published by iam8bit Presents. This time the game adds an explorable campus hub, and it can be played solo or in two-player local split-screen and online co-op. Players tackle escape rooms while unravelling a conspiracy tied to the academy itself. Coverage reports that preload was already open before launch, and lists a purchase price of $19.99, or €19.99 in Europe, outside Game Pass.
For players choosing among these four, the split is simple. Gravhounds suits a co-op group that likes building and chaos. Pit of Goblin suits a co-op group that likes horror and dungeon crawling. VOID/BREAKER suits a solo shooter fan who likes fast, replayable runs. Escape Academy 2 suits puzzle fans and pairs who want a co-op game that is not a shooter.
November 10 to 11: Football Manager 27, Warhammer Survivors and Thronefall
SUMMARY: This section covers the three xbox game pass november 2026 games arriving on November 10 and 11, led by Football Manager 27 and rounded out by two very different smaller games.
Football Manager 27 is the biggest name in the xbox game pass november 2026 games. It launches in full on November 10, 2026, for PC and Xbox Series X|S, as a day-one Game Pass game for Ultimate and PC Game Pass members. The PC edition and the console edition are separate editions, so players should pick the version that matches their platform. Coverage also notes a PC Early Access and Launch Preview period running ahead of the full November 10 launch, with the preview window reported around November 3. That preview is not the full launch, and it is covered in more detail in a separate Football Manager 27 preview guide, so this section keeps to the Game Pass date that matters: November 10 for the full game.
Warhammer Survivors also arrives on November 10, 2026, as a day-one Game Pass game. It is a Warhammer bullet-heaven survival game from Auroch Digital, in the style of Vampire Survivors, in which players fight waves of enemies and build a character through a run. Coverage lists a purchase price of $7.99 outside Game Pass, but again, that is a buy price, not a subscription charge. Its tier listing was not fully confirmed in every roundup checked, so the safest statement is that it is listed for Ultimate and PC Game Pass, with console, PC, and cloud versions reported, and players should confirm their own tier in the app.
Thronefall completes the confirmed run on November 11, 2026, as a day-one Xbox release. It is a minimalist tower-defence strategy game from Mythwright, in which players build a kingdom by day and defend it by night. The loop is deliberately simple: manage the economy, recruit troops, fortify walls, and survive waves of enemies until dawn. It is listed for Ultimate, Premium, and PC Game Pass, for Xbox Series X|S and PC. Its paid Craaghelm DLC is reported separately and is not presented here as part of the Game Pass offer, so do not assume the DLC is included.
Together, November 10 and 11 give subscribers a management game, a survival game, and a strategy game in two days. That is a strong finish to the first half of the month, even before any second-half wave is announced. Football Manager 27 alone will take most players weeks, so the smaller games on either side of it are best treated as short-session options, not as games to finish in the same week.
Tiers and Platforms: Ultimate, PC, Premium, Cloud and Xbox One
SUMMARY: This section explains which xbox game pass november 2026 games tiers and platforms apply, and where the coverage is still incomplete, so readers do not assume a game is on their tier.
Game Pass tiers are the part of the xbox game pass november 2026 games that needs the most care, because not every game is listed for every tier in the coverage checked. The pattern for this batch is clear at the top: Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass cover the confirmed games as a group. Two games are also listed for the Premium tier: Pit of Goblin and Thronefall. For the other five games, roundups either list Ultimate and PC only, or say tiers are not listed yet. That does not mean those games will never reach Premium, only that Premium availability was not confirmed in the material checked.
Platforms follow a similar pattern. The confirmed games are listed for Xbox Series X|S, PC, and cloud, with some variation by title. Pit of Goblin is listed for cloud, console, and PC. VOID/BREAKER is listed for Series X|S and PC, with its console debut on November 4. Football Manager 27 covers PC and Series X|S, with separate PC and console editions. Thronefall is listed for Series X|S and PC. Gravhounds is listed for Series X|S and PC, with Xbox Play Anywhere support reported.
Xbox One needs a separate note, because coverage conflicts on it. The latest roundup checked, published October 30, 2026, states that none of the seven confirmed games has an Xbox One version listed, and that cloud streaming is the route for Xbox One players where they are eligible. An older listing had mentioned Xbox One for Gravhounds, but the latest roundup is the safer guide. If you play on Xbox One, check the store page and the cloud option in the app before assuming a native version exists.
| Game | Platforms reported | Tier notes |
|---|---|---|
| Gravhounds | Series X|S, PC | Ultimate, PC Game Pass |
| Pit of Goblin | Cloud, Series X|S, PC | Ultimate, Premium, PC Game Pass |
| VOID/BREAKER | Series X|S, PC | Ultimate, PC Game Pass (early access already) |
| Escape Academy 2 | Series X|S, PC | Ultimate, PC Game Pass |
| Football Manager 27 | PC, Series X|S | Ultimate, PC Game Pass (separate editions) |
| Warhammer Survivors | Series X|S, PC, cloud reported | Ultimate, PC Game Pass reported; confirm in app |
| Thronefall | Series X|S, PC | Ultimate, Premium, PC Game Pass |
The practical rule is simple. If you have Ultimate or PC Game Pass, the confirmed list is yours in full as far as the coverage shows. If you have Premium or a lower tier, check each game in the app, because tier availability varies by title and can change when a later wave is announced. Do not buy a game outright until you have checked whether your tier already includes it.
Games Leaving Game Pass in November 2026
SUMMARY: This section lists the confirmed xbox game pass november 2026 games departures, and separates the one confirmed November leaving date from the departures that are not yet announced.
The one confirmed November departure is Football Manager 26. Both Football Manager 26 on PC and Football Manager 26 Console Edition leave Game Pass on November 10, 2026, the same day Football Manager 27 arrives. That swap is deliberate, and it gives players a clear deadline. If you are mid-save in Football Manager 26, finish what matters to you before November 10, or be ready to buy the game to keep playing that save after it leaves.
Before November, a separate batch of games already left Game Pass on October 31, 2026. That batch included Deep Rock Galactic, LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga, Day of the Tentacle Remastered, Full Throttle Remastered, Grim Fandango Remastered, Lara Croft and the Temple of Osiris, Dead Static Drive, and Wildgate, according to the roundups checked. Different roundups count that batch slightly differently, so this guide names the titles rather than relying on a single count. Those games are already gone from the library as of November, so they are not November departures to plan around, they are October departures to note.
A second November leaving date is often mentioned, but its titles are not confirmed. Coverage published October 30, 2026, notes that another handful of games is due to be removed on November 15, but states that which titles those will be has not been announced. This guide does not fill that gap with a predicted list. Lists of games that joined Game Pass in November 2025, and might therefore leave a year later, are predictions, not announcements, and past prediction lists for this service have often been only partly right. The safe step is to check the Leaving Soon section in the Xbox or PC app, which is where Xbox confirms departures about two weeks ahead.
- Confirmed leaving November 10, 2026: Football Manager 26 (PC) and Football Manager 26 Console Edition
- Already left October 31, 2026: Deep Rock Galactic, LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga, and the other titles named above
- November 15, 2026: a further batch is expected, but its titles have not been announced in the coverage checked
- Not a confirmed list: any predicted November leaving list based only on one-year anniversaries
If a game you are playing appears in Leaving Soon, remember that Game Pass members can usually buy leaving games at a discount while they are still in the library. That discount is worth checking before the leaving date, not after, because it does not apply once the game is gone.
Confirmed vs Not Yet Announced: What to Watch For
SUMMARY: This section separates the confirmed xbox game pass november 2026 games from the rumours, predictions, and second-half additions that have not been announced yet.
The most important distinction in this guide is between confirmed and not yet announced. Confirmed means an Xbox Wire post, a publisher announcement, or a store listing tracked in a reputable roundup supports the date. Not yet announced means Xbox has not posted it, even if a game is widely expected, heavily rumoured, or predicted from a past pattern. Only the seven games in the table above fall in the confirmed column for November as of October 31, 2026.
Three things are commonly mistaken for a full November list, and none of them is one. First, a predicted leaving list is not a leaving announcement. Second, a second-half wave has not been posted yet, so any list that claims to give the whole month is filling the second half with guesses. Third, a game’s ordinary launch date is not the same as a Game Pass date, unless Xbox or the publisher has confirmed the Game Pass arrival. A game can launch in November without joining Game Pass at all.
What to watch for next is straightforward. Xbox published two October wave posts, on October 7 and October 20, so a first November wave post is the next announcement to expect, though Xbox has not given its date in the coverage checked. When it arrives, it should add second-half games, confirm tiers for the titles that are still listed as unconfirmed, and name the November 15 departures. Until then, the seven-game list in this guide is the list to plan around, and anything beyond it should be treated as unconfirmed.

Best Order to Play the Xbox Game Pass November 2026 Games
SUMMARY: This section gives a practical playing order for the xbox game pass november 2026 games, based on how long each game takes and how the dates fall.
A good November plan starts with the dates, not with the biggest game. The first four games arrive on four consecutive days, so trying all four at once will split your attention. Pick one early-November game to start, and leave the others installed for later in the month. A co-op group should start with Gravhounds or Pit of Goblin, because both are built for playing together. A solo player should start with VOID/BREAKER for short, fast runs, or Escape Academy 2 for a co-op puzzle night with one partner.
November 10 is the day to switch focus. Football Manager 27 is a game that rewards long, steady play, so it should not be started in the same week as three other new games if you want to make progress in it. Play one of the early-November games in the first week, then move to Football Manager 27 on November 10 and treat it as your main game for the rest of the month. Warhammer Survivors and Thronefall fit around it as short-session games, because their runs and days are self-contained.
A practical November plan looks like this:
- November 2 to 5: try one early game properly, and install the others for later.
- November 10: finish or pause Football Manager 26 before it leaves, then start Football Manager 27.
- November 11: try Thronefall as a short-session strategy game alongside Football Manager 27.
- Mid-November: check Leaving Soon for the November 15 batch, and finish any game that appears there.
- Late November: watch for the first November wave post, which should add second-half games and confirm the remaining tiers.
That plan uses the confirmed dates properly. It does not chase unannounced games, it does not ignore the November 10 leaving date, and it leaves room for the wave announcement that will change the second half of the month.
Frequently Asked Questions
SUMMARY: This section answers the six questions players ask most about the xbox game pass november 2026 games, using only the confirmed dates, tiers, and departures from this guide.
What are the Xbox Game Pass November 2026 games?
The xbox game pass november 2026 games confirmed so far are Gravhounds on November 2, Pit of Goblin on November 3, VOID/BREAKER version 1.0 on November 4, Escape Academy 2: Back 2 School on November 5, Football Manager 27 and Warhammer Survivors on November 10, and Thronefall on November 11. Xbox has not yet posted a full first November wave, so more games are expected later in the month, but they have not been announced yet.
Are all the Xbox Game Pass November 2026 games available on every tier?
No. Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass cover the confirmed games as a group in the coverage checked. Pit of Goblin and Thronefall are also listed for Premium. For the other games, tier listings were either Ultimate and PC only, or not fully listed yet, so Premium and lower-tier players should check each game in the Xbox or PC app before assuming it is included.
Can I play the Xbox Game Pass November 2026 games on Xbox One?
According to the latest roundup checked, published October 30, 2026, none of the seven confirmed games has an Xbox One version listed. They are listed for Xbox Series X|S, PC, and cloud. Xbox One players may be able to play through cloud streaming where they are eligible, but they should check the store page and the app rather than assuming a native Xbox One version exists.
What games are leaving Game Pass in November 2026?
Football Manager 26 and Football Manager 26 Console Edition are confirmed to leave on November 10, 2026, the day Football Manager 27 arrives. A further batch is expected around November 15, 2026, but its titles had not been announced in the coverage checked as of October 31, 2026. A batch of games, including Deep Rock Galactic and LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga, already left on October 31, 2026.
Is Football Manager 27 on Game Pass on November 3 or November 10?
The full Football Manager 27 launch on Game Pass is November 10, 2026. Coverage also reports a PC Early Access and Launch Preview period ahead of that full launch, around November 3. The preview is not the full game, so November 10 is the date to use for the full Game Pass launch, with separate PC and console editions.
When will Xbox announce the rest of the November 2026 Game Pass games?
Xbox has not given a date for its first November wave post in the coverage checked. In October 2026, Xbox published wave posts on October 7 and October 20, so a November wave post is the next announcement to watch for. When it arrives, it should add second-half games, confirm remaining tiers, and name the November 15 departures.
