The final few Wave 2 games coming to during the remaining weeks of November 2023 have been revealed. There aren’t many titles to choose from seeing as only three games will be joining the service in the next two weeks, but the highlight of the selection is the day one release of Persona 5 Tactica.
The second wave of Xbox Game Pass games for this month begins on November 17 with the day-one release of the tactical RPG Persona spinoff Persona 5 Tactica. This isn’t the only game to join the service this week, though, as the previously announced Coral Island has made its way to Game Pass today.
There’s then a gap of 11 days before the remaining two games arrive on Xbox Game Pass. The full list includes:
Along with the good news comes the bad as there is a list of seven games that will be leaving Xbox Game Pass on November 30. The games that are shortly leaving the service are:
Most of the above games are leaving EA Play preceding server closures. All three Battlefield games will have their online servers shut down on December 8, 2023. However, there’s one game that seems to have been forgotten. Rocket Arena was also missing from last month’s list, but an update on EA’s Online Services Shutdown website says the game will be removed from EA Play today, November 14.

With Game Pass being as central to Xbox’s strategy as it has become over the years, it goes without saying that Microsoft has pumped a massive amount of money into the service, especially given how many third party titles the service features in its catalog (many of which launch day and date). How much money exactly, though?
Despite indications and rumours that Xbox might be keen on expanding its Game Pass offerings to also be available on PlayStation and Nintendo platforms, Microsoft Gaming boss Phil Spencer has revealed that the company doesn’t have any current plans to do it.
Earlier this week, a different Xbox executive said Microsoft's mission was to bring Game Pass to PlayStation and Nintendo.
Xbox Game Pass is adding 12 new titles to its December catalogue, including two day-one releases. The standout here has to be the Remnant franchise — both From the Ashes and its newly launched sequel Remnant II, celebrated for its souls-like shooter experience that pits players against tough-as-nails fantastical monsters, across procedurally-generated levels. Its challenges can also be tackled in co-op, so it's best advised that you check out the sequel because it will have a larger active player base. Another major addition this month is Far Cry 6, setting you against the vibrant tropical island of Yara to topple its ruthless dictator Antón Castillo (Giancarlo Esposito), who is hellbent on using the Viviro, an unstable form of cancer treatment, to restore his land to former glory. It arrives December 14 on Xbox Game Pass.

Microsoft has announced the first two new games to be added to the library and they’ll be arriving in December 2023. After promising to update the list of games two or three times a year, this will be the first update since the program launched in September.
Microsoft has announced new titles coming to Xbox Game Pass in early December, which includes Remnant II, SteamWorld Build, Far Cry 6, and more.
The Xbox Game Pass subscription is something well worth investing in if you own the Xbox Series X or Xbox Series S consoles. These latest-generation platforms can download the latest game releases on the service to play natively on your hardware. This subscription service allows you to access a wide collection of video games. We get two waves of new games added to the subscription service each month, with the first happening right at the start of the month. Today, through the official Xbox Wire, Microsoft has unveiled the first wave of games coming to the Xbox Game Pass subscription service.
After leaking earlier today, Microsoft has confirmed the latest Game Pass titles coming in December. Remnant: From the Ashes and Remnant 2 are available today for subscribers on cloud, consoles and PC, while December 1st sees the arrival ofSpirit of the North andSteamWorld Build for the same platforms.
Just recently, we got two new surprise additions in the ever-growing Game Pass catalog with the addition of Remnant: From the Ashes and Remnant 2, but there’s plenty more for subscribers to look forward to in the next couple of weeks, as per prominent leaker billbil-kun.
Though Microsoft generally makes it a point to announce new additions to Game Pass’ ever-expanding library with as much fanfare as it can muster, the company seems to have added to solid titles to the catalog in rather understated fashion.
