Microsoft Announces Xbox Game Pass November 2025 Wave 1 Lineup

Microsoft has announced the Xbox Game Pass November 2025 Wave 1 lineup, led by Call of Duty: Black Ops 7.

As a Microsoft-owned title, Black Ops 7 arrives on Game Pass on day one—November 14—across cloud, console, and PC for Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass subscribers.

Before Treyarch and Raven’s first-person shooter launches, several other games are hitting Game Pass. On November 5, Dead Static Drive (Cloud, Console, and PC) joins Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass as a day-one release.

According to Xbox Wire, Dead Static Drive is “Grand Theft Cthulhu.” “An indie survival-horror game following a nightmarish road trip across 1980s Americana, Dead Static Drive blends weird fiction and uncanny Eldritch themes with a spooky unease beneath small-town life,” Microsoft said.

Also on November 5, Rebellion’s Sniper Elite: Resistance (Cloud, Console, and PC) launches on Game Pass Premium. Here’s the official description:

Offering unparalleled sniping mechanics, stealth, and tactical third-person combat, Sniper Elite: Resistance shifts the award-winning series’ focus to a hidden war far from the front lines, deep within occupied France. Bring a friend—the full campaign is fully playable in co-op.

On November 6, Egging On (Cloud, PC, and Xbox Series X|S) debuts on Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass as a day-one release. That same day, Whiskerwood (PC) also launches on Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass. On November 7, Voidtrain (Cloud, PC, and Xbox Series X|S) arrives across Game Pass Ultimate, PC Game Pass, and Game Pass Premium. On November 11, Great God Grove (Cloud, PC, and Xbox Series X|S) joins the same tiers. Also on November 11, Lara Croft and the Temple of Osiris (Cloud, Console, and PC) becomes available on Game Pass Ultimate, PC Game Pass, and Game Pass Premium. And on November 11, Pigeon Simulator (Cloud, PC, and Xbox Series X|S) launches as a day-one title on Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass.

On November 12, Relic Hunters Legend (Cloud, Console, and PC) lands on Game Pass Ultimate, PC Game Pass, and Game Pass Premium. Also on November 12, Winter Burrow (Cloud, Console, and PC) releases as a day-one title on Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass. And of course, Wave 1 culminates with Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 on November 14.

It’s worth noting that following Microsoft’s recent Game Pass price increase and tier rebranding, we now refer to Game Pass Premium and Essential instead of Standard and Core. Xbox Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass retain their original names.

As previously announced, several games are leaving Game Pass this month. The departure of Stalker 2 has particularly frustrated subscribers, especially after its timed console exclusive release on Xbox and ahead of its PS5 launch. As always, you can save up to 20% by purchasing these games to keep them in your library.

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)
Spirittea (Cloud, Console, and PC)
S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 Heart of Chernobyl (Cloud, Console, and PC)
