Every date, which plan gets what, and the new cloud limits. - Author: Victor - Tags: News, Console Gaming, #always-up-to-date Updated November 3, 2026 · next update when Xbox announces its second November wave GoldenEye 007 walks out of Game Pass on November 15, and it isn’t leaving alone: twelve other games go the same day. Coming the other way, 14 games arrive between November 3 and 17, and eight Xbox classics join Essential, the cheapest plan, on the 15th. Bottom line up front ## So what does this mean for the *Average TechNerd*? Fourteen games join Game Pass between November 3 and 17, and how many you get depends on your plan. Ultimate members can play all 14\. Premium gets eight of them. Essential gets none of the new ones, but it picks up eight Xbox classics on November 15. Thirteen games leave on November 15, so anything on that list you’ve been meaning to finish needs finishing in the next two weeks. Cloud gaming gets a limit for the first time this month: every plan with cloud play now comes with a monthly allowance of hours, so if you stream a lot, it’s worth knowing your plan’s number. 14 games on Xbox’s list, Nov 3 to 17 5 arrive on launch day 13 leave on Nov 15 8 classics join Essential on Nov 15 ## Coming to Game Pass in November Football Manager 27 is the big one: it lands on Game Pass the same day it launches, one of five day-one games in [Xbox’s November lineup](https://news.xbox.com/en-us/2026/11/03/xbox-game-pass-november-2026-wave-1/?ref=averagetechnerds.com). Those five are on Ultimate and PC Game Pass only, so the cheaper plans wait. Four more aren’t really new. You could already play them on Ultimate or PC, and now they’re reaching console, the cloud or Premium; their cards tell you which. ![Football Manager 27 cover art](https://storage.ghost.io/c/b3/23/b323103c-90c0-46a8-9230-7d317a5ebaf3/content/images/2026/11/gp-football-manager-27.jpg)Launch dayNov 10 · early on PC Nov 3Football Manager 27Early play on PC from Nov 3, full launch Nov 10UltimatePCDetails ![Football Manager 27 cover art](https://storage.ghost.io/c/b3/23/b323103c-90c0-46a8-9230-7d317a5ebaf3/content/images/2026/11/gp-football-manager-27.jpg) Nov 10 · early on PC Nov 3 Football Manager 27 Football management sim · Sports Interactive UltimatePC Early play on PC from Nov 3, full launch Nov 10 You run a football club from the dugout: pick the squad, set the tactics, handle transfers and react to every match as it happens.

That’s Ultimate, or PC Game Pass if you only play on PC, which costs $9 less. Premium waits up to a year for Xbox’s own games, and Essential is the cheapest, with online multiplayer and more than 50 games. Essential $9.99 a month, US - More than 50 games - No new games on launch day - 5 hours of cloud gaming - Online multiplayer Premium $14.99 a month, US - More than 200 games - Xbox’s own games within a year of launch - 10 hours of cloud gaming - Online multiplayer PC Game Pass $13.99 a month, US - More than 300 PC games - New games on launch day - EA Play - No cloud gaming Ultimate $22.99 a month, US - More than 500 games - New games on launch day - 15 hours of cloud gaming - EA Play, Ubisoft+ Classics, Fortnite Crew ## Cloud gaming limits start this month Cloud gaming a month, from November 15 hrs Ultimate 10 hrs Premium 5 hrs Essential Starting this month, cloud play on Ultimate, Premium and Essential comes with a set number of hours. For most people that won’t change a thing: about 4% of members play enough to hit the cap, by [Xbox’s own count](https://news.xbox.com/en-us/2026/09/03/xbox-cloud-gaming-changes/?ref=averagetechnerds.com). If you stream a lot, though, you might be in that 4%. The reason is simple enough: the longer people play in the cloud, the more it costs Xbox to run. So what happens if you hit the cap this month? You may have to wait. Extra time from the Xbox Store starts at $3.99 for 10 hours and never expires, but for now only Xbox Insiders without Game Pass can buy it, at [introductory prices](https://news.xbox.com/en-us/2026/10/21/cloud-playtime-now-available-to-test-with-xbox-insiders/?ref=averagetechnerds.com). Xbox plans to open it up to more people in November. Some members keep unlimited cloud play, at least for now. If you’re in Australia, Brazil, Germany or Poland, check your inbox: Xbox has been emailing members there to say the cap doesn’t touch their current plan, as long as it stays on auto-renew ([VGC has the details](https://videogameschronicle.com/news/xbox-tells-existing-game-pass-members-its-new-cloud-gaming-cap-doesnt-apply-to-them-but-only-in-certain-countries?ref=averagetechnerds.com)). Anywhere else, plan on the new limits. ## Game Pass perks this month Three, and every plan gets them, Essential included. Now Valorant Valorant’s agents are its playable characters, and Game Pass members get every one of them unlocked, including the newest, Hush. Nov 10 Microsoft Sudoku Play Microsoft Sudoku on PC? As a Game Pass member you lose the ads, and the Daily Challenges pay out double experience points and more coins. Nov 17 The First Descendant If you play The First Descendant, there’s a Legacy Bundle waiting for Game Pass members: cosmetics that change your look, in-game currency, and boosts that speed up your progress. ## When is the next batch? Xbox hasn’t said. Its November post runs through November 17, and more games are expected later in the month. When Xbox announces them, they go on this page, along with anything leaving at the end of November. Playing on more than one system? We keep the same kind of list for [PlayStation Plus](https://averagetechnerds.com/ps-plus-games-coming-leaving/) and [Nintendo Switch Online](https://averagetechnerds.com/nintendo-switch-online-new-games/), and on PC, [Humble Choice and Humble Bundle](https://averagetechnerds.com/humble-choice-bundles-steam-deck/) come with Steam Deck ratings.
