Microsoft announces first wave of Xbox Game Pass lineup for November 2025

Microsoft has announced the first wave of Xbox Game Pass game lineup for November 2025, starring “Call of Duty: Black Ops 7”.

As a video game owned by Microsoft, Black Ops 7 went directly to Day 1 of Game Pass when it was released on November 14th. This is only available on cloud, console, and PC for Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass subscribers.

But before Treyarch and Raven's first-person shooters arrive, there are plenty of games that have reached Game Pass standards. On November 5th, Dead Static Drive (cloud, console, and PC) will launch as Another Day on Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass.

according to Xbox line“Dead Silence Drive” is “Rogue of Cthulhu”. Microsoft said: “Dead Static Drive is an indie survival horror game about a nightmarish road trip through 1980s America, blending weird fiction and bizarre horror themes with the eerie undertones of small-town life.”

Rebellion’s Sniper Elite: Resistance (cloud, console, and PC) will also be available on Game Pass Premium on November 5. Here is the official synopsis:

Offering unparalleled sniper mechanics, stealth and tactical third-person combat, Sniper Elite: Resistance turns the attention of the award-winning series to a hidden war far away from the front lines and deep into the heart of occupied France. Bring a friend – you can experience the full campaign in co-op mode.
