Xbox Game Pass's first November 2026 lineup includes five day-one games, led by Football Manager 27, Escape Academy 2: Back 2 School and Warhammer Survivors. Those launches are listed for Ultimate and PC Game Pass, with separate additions for Premium and Essential subscribers.
Microsoft announced the schedule on Xbox Wire on November 3. Football Manager 27's PC version and co-op horror game Pit of Goblin arrived that day. The next day-one release is Escape Academy 2 on November 5, which supports both local and online two-player co-op.
Warhammer Survivors and Tanuki: Pon's Summer follow on November 10, then mystery adventure Hope in the City on November 11. Football Manager's Console edition also launches into the service on November 10, a week after the PC game.

Football Manager 27 initially arrives only on PC. Its Console edition is listed for cloud, Xbox Series X|S and PC on November 10. Every other game in the table has cloud, Xbox console and PC support; MySims Cozy Bundle, Tanuki: Pon's Summer and Paw Patrol: Dino World are listed for console generally, while the others specify Series X|S.
Void/Breaker's November 4 entry accompanies its 1.0 release and arrival on Xbox Series X|S and cloud. MySims Cozy Bundle's November 5 addition brings console and cloud access to the pair of re-releases, MySims and MySims Kingdom.
Premium and Essential get separate additions
Premium's schedule also includes two games outside that 12-game list: Vampire Crawlers: The Turbo Wildcard from Vampire Survivors on November 4 and Don't Nod's sci-fi adventure Aphelion on November 17. Both are listed for cloud, Xbox Series X|S and PC, with handheld optimization also noted.
Essential subscribers get eight library additions on November 15: Banjo-Kazooie, Banjo-Tooie, Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts, Gears of War: Judgment, Halo: Spartan Assault, Perfect Dark, Viva Piñata and Viva Piñata: Trouble in Paradise. All eight support cloud and console; Halo: Spartan Assault also has PC support in that list.
November 15 is also a removal deadline. Xbox lists 13 departures, including GoldenEye 007, 1000xResist, Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 and Wreckfest, so subscribers still working through those games have less than two weeks before they leave.
