Omnihanded Entertainmet News | Xbox Game Pass confirms big new titles for November

Microsoft has confirmed the first wave of titles heading to Xbox Game Pass this month – check out the games below:

Xbox Game Pass is a subscription service that gives players access to a huge library of games for a monthly fee. In September, Microsoft confirmed it was changing Game Pass to offer players “more flexibility, choice and value” for an increased cost – and fans weren’t impressed.

Since then, Microsoft has added a load more titles to the three Xbox Game Pass tiers. More than 90 new titles were added to the service immediately after the news while last month saw more than 20 new games made available for subscribers.

That trend looks to continue, with a host of big titles coming to Xbox Game Pass this November. Check them out below:

All the titles heading to Xbox Game Pass this November 2025:

Dead Static Drive – out November 5 for PC and Ultimate subscribers
Sniper Elite Resistance – out November 5 for PC, Premium and Ultimate subscribers

Six titles are set to leave Xbox Game Pass on November 15, including Stalker 2 which launched less than a year ago. Its imminent departure has annoyed a number of fans.

All the titles leaving Xbox Game Pass this November 2025:

Blacksmith Master
Football Manager 2024
Football Manager 2024 Console Edition
Frostpunk
Spirittea
S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 Heart of Chernobyl

As part of the reworked Game Pass offering, 75 Day One titles will be available over the next 12 months.

Recently, Microsoft’s Director of Gaming and Platform Communications Dustin Blackwell defended the Xbox Game Pass price hike. “We understand price increases are never fun for anybody, but we’re trying to reinforce by adding more value to these plans as well,” he explained. “It’s something we don’t take lightly, and we’re listening to the feedback of players and the community to try to provide them with more of what they’re asking for.”

In other news, Microsoft launched its new handheld console the ROG Xbox Ally X last month, but fans are still struggling to get hold of one.

Black Ops 7 launch times for the full game

Black Ops 7 launches at midnight local time on November 14 for PlayStation, Xbox, and Xbox on PC, which means the game will be available at 3 AM PT on November 13, but you can only play that early if you live in New Zealand (more on that later). Battle.net and Steam users, meanwhile, can start playing at 9 PM PT on November 13, which works out to midnight Eastern on November 14.

The New Zealand trick

Given that New Zealand is so far ahead of people in the US and UK, you might be wondering if it’s possible to trick your console or PC into thinking you live in the country where there are more sheep than people. This trick worked with Black Ops 6, and may work again with Black Ops 7.

People should know, however, that Microsoft does not want you to do this. In any event, here’s a rundown of how it should work.

Xbox:

Power up console and head to the Settings

Select “System”

Select “Language and Location”

Change your location to New Zealand

Restart your console

Load up Black Ops 7 to start playing

Xbox on PC:

Download the Xbox on PC app

Change your PC region to New Zealand

Change your Call of Duty account to New Zealand.

Ensure changes are saved

Boot the game

PlayStation:

Go to the Call of Duty website

Click on your profile and select “Basic Info”

Enter a New Zealand address

Make sure the changes save and load up Black Ops 7

Game Pass

Black Ops 7 will be available at launch on Xbox Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass. While those two subscription services recently saw major price hikes, most major retailers are sticking with the old prices, so you don’t actually have to pay more if you buy a membership right now. Game Pass Ultimate remains $20 at GameStop, Amazon, Best Buy, and others.
