Xbox Game Pass is getting an initial wave of new game additions this November, including a blockbuster monster-hunting game and the latest installment in a classic footy franchise.
The newcomers will start trickling on to the game subscription service from tomorrow (Thursday, November 2). In a nice little surprise for customers, Microsoft has also announced a trio of Halloween treats, which are playable right now.
Don’t be surprised if more games land on the service before the end of the month, too. In the meantime, we’ve selected some of the highlights from the new lineup, and you can check out the full list of titles further below.
Xbox Game Pass November games - highlights
Wild Hearts
If you didn’t get round to playing Wild Hearts upon its release in February, now’s your chance. The game mixes up the Monster Hunter formula by throwing in some fun building mechanics using ancient Japanese tech. Best of all, you can take on the game’s giant rodents, pigs and hedgehogs with your pals in co-op.
Football Manager 2024
If EA Sports FC has given you a taste for creating your fantasy team, then Football Manager 24 could turn you into a regular Pep Guardiola. You’ll be poring over spreadsheets, managing finances, fielding emails, and keeping the press at bay in no time. There’s really nothing else like the management sim for wannabe gaffers. If you prefer to play on mobile, you can grab the game through your Netflix membership on November 6.
Jusant
For some players, the best part of action-adventure games like Tomb Raider and Uncharted is the abseiling. Jusant takes that element and turns it into an entire game. Get ready to climb an ever-changing tower with just a cuddly critter for company. Hoisted on your back, your watery pal can interact with your surroundings to unlock new routes, and help you reach the peak. The warm visuals and meditative gameplay should appeal to players drawn to indies like Shadow of the Colossus, Sable, and Cocoon.
