Football Manager 27 and eight other games are set to join Xbox Game Pass in November 2026, as reported by AugustMan Singapore’s roundup. This means we can expect nine new additions, with the football simulator leading the pack.
This news comes during a busy month. Pure Xbox is tracking over 30 games launching on Xbox between November 2 and 6, making the Game Pass updates just one part of a packed release schedule.
Every platform is busy
PlayStation users have a similarly busy week. Push Square has compiled a list of 28+ PS5 and PS Plus games for November 2 to 8, putting PS5 in a strong position against Xbox for the first week’s game releases.
Nintendo is taking a more focused approach. Nintendo Life mentions 11 new games across Switch 1 and Switch 2 for the month. Meanwhile, Polygon highlights five must-play titles for Switch 2.
Metro Redux gets a next-gen pass
Xbox players also have some exciting tech news. Pure Xbox has shared insights on Metro Redux’s next-gen upgrades for Xbox Series X|S. However, the coverage lacks specific resolution or frame rate details. We’re holding off on any performance claims until we have those figures confirmed.
The report also doesn’t clarify which of the eight other Game Pass titles will launch on day one, which tiers they’ll be in, or their exact release dates. For a complete list, check Pure Xbox’s ongoing update on all Game Pass games coming in November 2026.
