Microsoft has outlined the next wave of titles arriving on Xbox Game Pass for November 2026. The subscription service will add several new games throughout the month, including a sequel to a popular puzzle adventure, a strategy title, and a survival game set in a well-known fantasy universe.
The first major addition is Escape Academy 2: Back 2 School, developed by Coin Crew Games. The game arrives on November 5. It expands on the formula of the original 2022 release by moving the action into an open-world environment. Players can engage in online and local two-player co-op to explore a school campus and solve puzzles together.
Warhammer Survivors and Thronefall Arrive Mid-Month
On November 10, subscribers can access Warhammer Survivors. This title is an officially licensed bullet-heaven game created by Auroch Digital in partnership with poncle, the creator of Vampire Survivors. The game integrates Warhammer champions, enemy factions, and weapons into the survival genre. Players control characters who unleash barrages of bullets, blades, and magic against waves of enemies.
Also arriving on November 10 is Thronefall. This is a minimalist kingdom-building strategy game. It allows players to manage resources and expand their territory within the subscription library.
Classic Titles Join on November 15
Microsoft confirmed that eight additional games will join the Xbox Game Pass Essential library on November 15. This batch includes several recognizable titles from the Xbox catalog. The additions feature the original Banjo-Kazooie trilogy, Perfect Dark, and both Viva Piñata games.
The expansion of the library coincides with a reduction in other titles. Microsoft stated that 13 games will leave the Xbox Game Pass library on November 15. Subscribers have until that date to play the departing titles before they are removed from the service.
The November 2026 additions continue Microsoft’s strategy of mixing new releases with classic favorites to maintain a diverse library for subscribers.
