Thirteen Games Leave Xbox Game Pass as November Wave Brings Warhammer Survivors
Thirteen titles are scheduled to leave the Xbox Game Pass catalog, while a fresh wave of additions highlighted by Warhammer Survivors, Football Manager 27, and Thronefall rolls out across the service, Echo Boomer reported.
The November lineup began rolling out on November 3, bringing early access to Football Manager 27 on PC for Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass subscribers. Sports Interactive developed the new simulation entry, which introduces adjustments to match preparation, menu controls, and fixture presentation ahead of its full console and PC launch on November 10. Concurrently, the service dropped support for Football Manager 26 and Football Manager 26 Console Edition on November 10.
Warhammer Survivors arrives on November 10 as a day-one release for Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass. Developed by Auroch Digital in collaboration with poncle—the creator of Vampire Survivors—the title adapts the roguelite action formula into the Warhammer 40,000 and Age of Sigmar universes using animated pixel art.

Open World Puzzles and Strategy Additions Expand November Catalog
Escape Academy 2: Back 2 School launched on November 5 as a day-one addition for Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass.

The same day brought MySims Cozy Bundle to consoles and cloud gaming, alongside Firefighting Simulator: Ignite.
Strategy players receive Thronefall on November 11. The title tasks users with constructing and expanding a small kingdom during daylight hours before orchestrating defenses against nighttime enemy incursions. On November 12, John Carpenter’s Toxic Commando introduces four-player cooperative action, requiring squads to battle zombie hordes across semi-open environments.

The Game Pass Essential tier expands on November 15 with the addition of eight classic titles, including several legacy projects from developer Rare. The incoming games comprise 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, accessible via cloud and console where specified.
