November 3, 2026. Xbox has announced November’s first Game Pass wave, but the available plan matters as much as the release date.
The official November 3 post lists Football Manager 27 on PC for Ultimate and PC Game Pass today. Pit of Goblin is listed for Ultimate, Premium and PC Game Pass across cloud, Xbox Series X|S and PC.
Premium is not on every entry
Escape Academy 2: Back 2 School arrives November 5 with Ultimate and PC Game Pass listed. Thronefall arrives November 11 with Premium included as well. Do not assume the same access rules carry across the whole announcement.
Essential additions arrive separately
Xbox also lists a November 15 Essential expansion including Banjo-Kazooie, Perfect Dark and Viva Piñata, among others. Consult the announcement for the exact platform coverage of each title.
These are selected examples, not a complete catalogue. Future dates remain future access: an announced addition does not mean the game is playable on that plan today.
Check before rearranging your subscription
Open the current game listing while signed in and confirm the plan, device and region that apply to you. A family or co-op session should be planned around each player’s actual access, not a screenshot of the headline game list.
We have not reviewed these games or tested every subscription configuration. Treat the announcement as a shortlist, then verify the specific option you intend to use.
