New Xbox Game Pass Games: November 2025 Wave 2

Your Xbox Game Pass Just Got a Major Upgrade

Xbox Game Pass continues its reign as gaming's best value with a fresh wave of November arrivals. The second wave of new titles brings everything from Marvel superhero brawls to haunting narrative adventures—perfect for holiday gaming marathons. Here's what's hitting your library this month:

Must-Play New Arrivals

November's additions offer something for every gamer:

Marvel Cosmic Invasion (Dec 1): This retro beat-'em-up from Tribute Games (creators of TMNT: Shredder's Revenge) lets you brawl as iconic Marvel heroes like Iron Man and Wolverine against cosmic villain Annihilus. A day-one Game Pass title with a Steam demo available now.
Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden (Nov 25): Don't Nod's latest RPG explores love, loss, and spectral hauntings in a supernatural colonial America.
Lost Records: Bloom & Rage (Dec 2): Another Don't Nod gem arriving December 2nd, this choice-based adventure blends floral aesthetics with emotional storytelling.
The Crew Motorfest (Nov 20): Ubisoft's open-world racing game transports you to Hawaii's O'ahu and Maui islands with 700+ vehicles. Part of the Ubisoft Plus integration with Game Pass Ultimate.

Other highlights include Moonlighter 2: The Endless Vault (Game Preview), Kulebra and the Souls of Limbo, and Revenge of the Savage Planet—all arriving November 19-20.

Fortnite Update: What You Need to Know

While most additions are smooth sailing, Xbox PC users are currently experiencing issues with Fortnite. A delayed update has caused version mismatches, preventing proper downloads for many. Microsoft Store sources confirm the issue stems from Epic Games' end, with a fix expected within 48 hours.

This temporary hiccup highlights ongoing challenges with the Microsoft Store as a delivery platform, especially as the Xbox Ally device serves as a beta test for next-gen Xbox interfaces.

Despite this snag, the Fortnite Crew bundle remains included with Game Pass Ultimate, and the Xbox Play Anywhere integration allows PC access through the Xbox app once resolved.

The Big Picture: Game Pass Evolution

November's lineup reinforces Microsoft's strategy of blending exclusives like Don't Nod's narrative gems with major Ubisoft titles. The Fortnite issue, while temporary, underscores the need for continued refinement of the Xbox PC ecosystem as it competes with Steam's mature platform.

With Ubisoft Plus integration and Play Anywhere expansion, Game Pass is positioning itself as the ultimate cross-platform ecosystem—even as it navigates growing pains like this month's technical hiccup.
