The Game Pass library has officially navigated the painful purge of mid-November, which saw major titles like S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 and Frostpunk depart. Now, the Game Pass subscription service is staging a significant replenishment, dropping five brand new games into the mix. And they are BIG!
This influx of fresh content ranges from high-stakes survival and corporate revenge to cozy management sims, as well as one of our most favourite racing games ever, proving that the catalog’s dynamic nature always delivers new adventures.
There are a host of new adventures replenishing the Game Pass vault this week. The details you need are as follows…
Moonlighter 2: The Endless Vault (Game Preview) – November 19th
The life of a merchant is never easy, especially when you’re stranded and broke!
Moonlighter 2: The Endless Vault is the highly anticipated action-RPG and roguelike sequel that puts you back in the role of a treasure-hunting shopkeeper, this time in the distant village of Tresna. Stranded without a coin to your name, you must dive into ever-changing, dangerous vaults to gather relics and loot.
This loot is then sold in your shop, allowing you to haggle with customers and manage inventory to maximize profit. The core loop demands a constant balance of risk versus reward: push your luck in the dungeons for massive treasure, then use the profits to invest in Tresna’s establishments (like the blacksmith) to unlock better gear for the next perilous expedition.
Note: Moonlighter 2 hits Game Pass in Game Preview form. It is NOT a full release. It’s not playable on Xbox Series X|S yet either.
Available on PC via Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass.
Kulebra and the Souls of Limbo (Cloud, Console, and PC) – November 19th
Prepare for a unique and heartwarming papercraft adventure in Kulebra and the Souls of Limbo. This narrative-driven puzzle game introduces you to Kulebra, a dead snake with a heart of gold, who wakes up in Limbo – a beautiful but melancholic afterlife.
This realm is cursed, forcing souls with deep regrets to repeat the same day on an endless loop. Without the ability to rotate, you must explore this world, gather clues and items, and solve intricate puzzles by paying attention to the details and connecting the dots.
Your goal is to help the residents finally break the cycle of the time loop, all while sharing your light and searching for your own purpose.
Available on Cloud, Console, and PC via Game Pass Ultimate, Game Pass Premium, and Game Pass Standard.
Revenge of the Savage Planet (Cloud, PC, and Xbox Series X|S) – November 19th
Corporate revenge has never been so colourful or chaotic!
Revenge of the Savage Planet is a sequel to the acclaimed exploration game that puts you in the shoes of a newly redundant engineer abandoned on the far edge of space. You must explore four large, vibrant alien worlds, hoarding resources, crafting essential gear, and cataloging bizarre flora and fauna to enact revenge on your former, incompetent employer.
You’ll navigate challenges by running, jumping, shooting, and grappling across the environment. The game supports robust co-op, crossplay, and even split-screen, ensuring the intergalactic chaos is shareable as you hoard resources and fight for your life.
Available on Cloud, PC, and Xbox Series X|S via Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass.
Monsters are Coming! Rock & Road (Handheld & PC) – November 20th
Ready for a truly unique hybrid?
Monsters are Coming! Rock & Road is a tower-survivor action-rogue-lite where your city is on wheels! You must continuously fortify an ever-moving city against endless armies of darkness.
The game demands strategic genius as you balance risk and reward: you must send out your peon to forage for wood, stone, and gold to keep the city repaired and moving, all while strategically placing defensive districts, such as archery outposts and necromancer towers.
Even if your peon falls, the run only ends when the entire fortress is destroyed, making this a frantic, addictive race against the apocalypse.
Available on Handheld and PC via Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass.
The Crew Motorfest (Cloud, Console, and PC) – November 20th
Prepare for the ultimate celebration of automotive culture as The Crew Motorfest settles down on Game Pass, taking players to the beautiful Hawaiian island of O‘ahu in one of our most favourite of all racing games.
This massive, vibrant open-world festival invites you to enjoy high-speed street races through Honolulu and test your skills off-road on volcanic slopes. Players dive into thematic Playlists, which seamlessly integrate various car cultures, including American muscle, Japanese street racing, and classic legendary machines.
Collecting iconic cars, competing in intense races, and mastering every driving challenge are all part of the year-round festival experience across all platforms.
Available on Cloud, Console, and PC via Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass.
