Black Ops 7 Joins Xbox Game Pass: November Lineup Packs a Punch With Sniper Elite, Whiskerwood and More

No more waiting: Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 hits Xbox Game Pass the moment it launches, and you won’t want to sit this one out. Microsoft’s packed the November 2025 lineup with heavyweight debuts and inventive indies, so if your backlog isn’t already scary enough from Halloween, buckle up.

Black Ops 7 Headlines the Biggest Month Yet

The biggest news can’t be missed: on November 14, you’ll get instant access to Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 on Game Pass across cloud, console, and PC, as long as you’re on Ultimate or PC Game Pass. The hype is real: after a feverish beta where developer Treyarch rolled out bold gameplay tweaks that landed with fans, the full release is about to put every other shooter on notice.

The Game Pass drop is day-and-date; if you’ve got a subscription, you’re in. No add-ons. Just boots on the ground. And this isn’t some quiet rollout; Black Ops 7 is set to dominate the shooter conversation right out of the gate.

Every New Game Hitting Game Pass This November

While Black Ops 7 grabs the spotlight, November’s full Game Pass list features heavy hitters and creative curveballs:

• Dead Static Drive (Cloud, Console, PC) – November 5 for Game Pass Ultimate and PC
• Sniper Elite: Resistance (Cloud, Console, PC) – November 5 for Game Pass Premium
• Egging On (Cloud, Xbox Series X/S, PC) – November 6 for Ultimate and PC
• Whiskerwood (PC) – November 6 for Ultimate and PC
• Voidtrain (Cloud, Xbox Series X/S, PC) – November 7 across Ultimate, Premium, and PC
• Great God Grove (Cloud, Xbox Series X/S, PC) – November 11 on Ultimate, Premium, and PC
• Lara Croft and the Temple of Osiris (Cloud, Console, PC) – November 11 on all tiers
• Pigeon Simulator (Cloud, Xbox Series X/S, PC) – November 11 for Ultimate and PC
• Relic Hunters Legend (Cloud, Console, PC) – November 12 for Ultimate, Premium, PC
• Winter Burrow (Cloud, Console, PC) – November 12 for Ultimate and PC

From the wild premise of Pigeon Simulator to the gothic survival of Egging On, there’s something here for every taste and play style. Marvel fans and looters can team up in Lara Croft and the Temple of Osiris, while platformer lovers might lose hours inside the cosy upstart Whiskerwood.

Sniper Elite: Resistance and the Surprising Standouts

It’s not just Black Ops 7 that’s drawing eyes. Sniper Elite: Resistance is primed to be a sleeper hit. As Eurogamer called it, this entry is a “challenging, rewarding, and deeply satisfying adventure”, words that’ll sell any strategy-head or sharpshooter fan. Watch for gameplay that rewards patience and careful planning, backed by the deep satisfaction the series is known for.

Plus, there’s Voidtrain, a game that’s built a cult following by letting you craft, explore, and survive on your own train moving through surreal worlds. If you’re burned out on back-to-back shooters, there’s no shortage of new environments and ideas this month.

Every Game Leaving Game Pass November 15

Of course, when big names arrive, others make their exit. On November 15, several notable titles leave the Game Pass library:

• Blacksmith Master (Game Preview) (Cloud, Console, PC)
• Football Manager 2024 (PC)
• Football Manager 2024 Console Edition (Cloud, Console, PC)
• Frostpunk (Cloud, Console, PC)
• Spirittea (Cloud, Console, PC)
• S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 Heart of Chernobyl (Cloud, Console, PC)

S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 Heart of Chernobyl and Frostpunk are significant departures; so if you haven’t finished them, don’t wait. Clear a slot in your backlog now if you want one last run. Microsoft’s making November’s Game Pass lineup a conversation-starter, anchored by Black Ops 7 but loaded with something for everyone. Check your library, set those reminders, and make room on your calendar.
