There are eight new titles coming to Xbox Game Pass in the latter half of November 2021, and eight that will be leaving the service on November 30. With new experiences ranging from an explorative sci-fi indie title to a world-domination sim, there should be something for all players to enjoy over the next few weeks.

Xbox Game Pass’ New Games in Late November 2021
New games are arriving rather frequently over the last two weeks of November 2021, offering players a ton of experiences for their subscription fee.
Next Space Rebels (Cloud, Console, and PC) – November 17
For Kerbal Space Program fans, Next Space Rebels is a very similar game about building homemade rockets and attempting to launch them as high as possible. Players will grow their StarTube channel, earning new parts to further push the boundaries of rocket technology.
Exo One (Cloud, Console, and PC) – November 18
Exo One is a beautiful game about guiding an alien craft through a series of strange, desolate worlds. Players will need to master the landscape, ride the updrafts, and launch off hills to achieve incredible speeds, hopefully solving the mystery of the spacecraft’s origins along the way.
Fae Tactics (Cloud, Console, and PC) – November 18
Fae Tactics is a tactical, turn-based RPG set in a colorful world of strange creatures and elemental powers. Players take on the role of Peony, a young magic user on a quest to resolve the growing tension between mankind and the fae.
My Friend Pedro (Cloud, Console, and PC) – November 18
Players looking for a more adrenaline-fueled experience should boot up My Friend Pedro, a frenetic bullet-hell in the vein of a side-scrolling Hotline Miami. Players control the acrobatic main character in a 2.5D environment as he jumps, flips, shoots, and slo-mos his way through hordes of enemies.
Undungeon (Cloud, Console, and PC) – November 18
Undungeon is a pixel art action-RPG with a great sense of style and a surprisingly deep crafting system. Players take control of a Herald, an interdimensional hero created by Dharma to stitch the multiverse back together following a catastrophic merging.
Deeeer Simulator (Cloud, Console, and PC) – November 23
Building on the legacy of Goat Simulator and Untitled Goose Game, Deeeer Simulator is a new sandbox title full of bizarre animals and zany situations. Players take the role of a deer in a sleepy town, and can either frolic peacefully with the other animals or vent their frustrations by destroying everything in sight.
Mortal Shell (Cloud, Console, and PC) – November 23
Mortal Shell is a challenging third-persion action-RPG with a Dark Souls aesthetic and a possesssion-based advancement system. Players can awaken the Mortal Shells of defeated warriors, gaining new skills and unique abilities as they advanced through the game.
Evil Genius 2 (Cloud, Console, and PC) – November 30
Possibly the biggest title coming to the Xbox Games Pass in late November is Evil Genius 2: World Domination, the 2021 sequel to a classic James Bond-style villain simulator. Players will pick a genius with unique abilities, develop a lair, and embark on all kinds of evil schemes.
Games Departing Xbox Game Pass in Late November 2021
Call of the Sea (Cloud/Console/PC) - November 30 FIFA 19 (Console and PC) - November 30 Football Manager 2021 (PC) - November 30 Football Manager 2021: Xbox Edition (Console and PC) - November 30 Haven (Cloud/Console/PC) - November 30 Hello Neighbor (Cloud/Console/PC) - November 30 Morkredd (Cloud/Console/PC) - November 30 Va-11 Hall-A: Cyberpunk Bartender Action (PC) - November 30
These departing games will all be leaving on November 30, so players who have been waiting only have a couple of weeks left to try them out. Although there are no really big titles among departing games, a bigger name will be leaving the service early in December. On December 8, Destiny 2: Beyond Light will leave Xbox Game Pass — apparently for good.
Destiny 2 was one of the biggest titles to be added to Xbox Game Pass in the last year, and offered players not only the base game but all its expansions up to that time. Bungie’s looter-shooter is currently available on cloud and console versions of Xbox Game Pass, but once it goes away players will have to buy the game and its expansions separately.
