Xbox has confirmed its list of upcoming titles expected to arrive on Game Pass this November – with Football Manager 23 and Return to Monkey Island leading the charge.

The new line-up of games not only includes some of the highly anticipated titles coming to Xbox this year but also a few previous indie gems, such as PC sleeper hit Vampire Survivors.

Among the suite of other titles available on Game Pass this month are The Walking Dead series and tapestry-em-up Pentiment, leading to a grand total of nine new games to try out.

The games are playable on console and PC, but as new ones are added to Game Pass, older ones will be removed from the service, so we’ve made sure to include them in our list for you to try out before they’re quickly escorted off the premises.

To find out which games will be coming to Xbox Game Pass in November, and which ones will be removed, keep reading the rest of this article.
