Microsoft has revealed the first wave of games coming to Xbox Game Pass in November 2025, featuring the highly anticipated launch of Call of Duty: Black Ops 7.
As a title from a Microsoft-owned studio, Black Ops 7 will be available on Game Pass from day one starting November 14. This applies to cloud, console, and PC, exclusively for Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass subscribers.
Several other games are joining the service ahead of the release of Treyarch and Raven's latest first-person shooter. On November 5, Dead Static Drive (Cloud, Console, and PC) debuts on Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass as another day-one addition.
According to Xbox Wire, Dead Static Drive is described as “Grand Theft Cthulhu.” Microsoft explains that it's "an indie survival-horror adventure set during a terrifying road trip across 1980s America. The game blends weird fiction and eerie Eldritch themes with a pervasive sense of dread that shadows small-town life."
Also arriving on November 5 is Rebellion's Sniper Elite: Resistance (Cloud, Console, and PC) for Game Pass Premium. Here's the official description:
With its signature sniping mechanics, stealth action, and tactical third-person combat, Sniper Elite: Resistance shifts the acclaimed series' focus to a covert conflict deep within occupied France, far from traditional battlefields. Team up with a friend—the entire campaign supports cooperative play.
November 6 brings Egging On (Cloud, PC, and Xbox Series X|S) as a day-one release for Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass. That same day, Whiskerwood (PC) also joins both tiers as a day-one title. Next, on November 7, Voidtrain (Cloud, PC, and Xbox Series X|S) becomes available across Game Pass Ultimate, PC Game Pass, and Game Pass Premium. November 11 sees Great God Grove (Cloud, PC, and Xbox Series X|S) launch across all three tiers, alongside Lara Croft and the Temple of Osiris (Cloud, Console, and PC). Also on November 11, Pigeon Simulator (Cloud, PC, and Xbox Series X|S) debuts as a day-one title for Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass.
On November 12, Relic Hunters Legend (Cloud, Console, and PC) arrives for Game Pass Ultimate, PC Game Pass, and Game Pass Premium. That day also marks the day-one release of Winter Burrow (Cloud, Console, and PC) for Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass. And of course, the first wave concludes with the blockbuster launch of Black Ops 7 on November 14.

Keep in mind that after Microsoft's recent Game Pass price adjustment and the rebranding of certain subscription levels, we now refer to Game Pass Premium and Essential instead of Standard and Core. Xbox Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass remain unchanged.
As previously confirmed, several games are set to leave Game Pass this month. The removal of S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2, in particular, has disappointed many subscribers, as it exits the service about a year after its timed console-exclusive launch on Xbox and ahead of its upcoming PS5 release. As usual, members can purchase these titles at a discount of up to 20% to keep them permanently.
Games leaving Xbox Game Pass on November 15:
Blacksmith Master (Game Preview) (Cloud, Console, and PC)
Football Manager 2024 (PC)
Football Manager 2024 Console Edition (Cloud, Console, and PC)
Frostpunk (Cloud, Console, and PC)
