As of now, there is no official announcement from Microsoft regarding the Xbox Game Pass November 2025 Wave 1 lineup. Microsoft typically reveals Game Pass additions on a monthly basis, often in the week leading up to the first of the month, and details for November 2025 would not be available until closer to that time—likely in mid-to-late October 2025. However, based on historical trends and Microsoft’s pattern of including a mix of first-party exclusives, popular third-party titles, and new releases, you can expect the November 2025 Wave 1 lineup for Xbox Game Pass to potentially feature: New Xbox Game Studios releases (e.g., a new title from studios like Obsidian, Playground Games, or The Initiative). High-profile third-party games (such as major releases from developers like FromSoftware, Naughty Dog, or Square Enix). Back-catalog favorites or remastered editions that have recently launched. Cross-gen titles that may be part of a larger seasonal push.
