Xbox Game Pass Unveils Exciting New Game Lineup Amid Subscription Price Changes

2025-11-19 02:12:56

Microsoft has officially revealed the upcoming roster of titles scheduled to join the premium Ultimate tier of Xbox Game Pass. The subscription service continues its tradition of refreshing its game library monthly, providing members with a steady stream of new entertainment options. However, the recent price adjustment for Game Pass Ultimate has sparked discussions among the gaming community about the service's overall value proposition.

The subscription cost for Xbox Game Pass Ultimate has recently increased from $19.99 to $29.99 monthly, representing a substantial price hike that has generated mixed reactions from subscribers. While Microsoft has committed to delivering more day-one releases to justify the increased cost, many loyal fans have expressed disappointment with the decision, with some opting to cancel their subscriptions in response. Despite the current controversy surrounding the pricing changes, Microsoft remains focused on expanding the service's offerings to retain existing members and potentially win back former subscribers.

The confirmed lineup of upcoming Xbox Game Pass additions begins with Moonlighter 2: The Endless Vault launching on PC platforms November 19. This is quickly followed by Monsters Are Coming! Rock & Road and The Crew Motorfest arriving November 20. Later in the month, subscribers can look forward to Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden and Kill It With Fire! 2 joining the service on November 25. Microsoft has also provided an early glimpse into December's offerings, confirming that the beat 'em up title Marvel Cosmic Invasion will debut on Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass as a day-one release, while Lost Records: Bloom & Rage becomes available December 2.

Upcoming Xbox Game Pass Ultimate Titles

  • Moonlighter 2: The Endless Vault (Game Preview) (PC) - November 19
  • Monsters Are Coming! Rock & Road (Handheld/PC) - November 20
  • The Crew Motorfest (Cloud/Console/PC) - November 20

Several of the newly announced Game Pass titles will also become available to subscribers of the Premium tier. For those unfamiliar with the service structure, Game Pass Premium represents a step below the Ultimate tier in terms of features and benefits. While it offers an extensive game library, Premium typically doesn't include day-one releases. Previously exclusive Ultimate titles such as Kulebra and the Souls of Limbo and Revenge of the Savage Planet will become accessible to Premium members starting November 19. Additionally, Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden and Kill It With Fire! 2 will join the Premium catalog on November 25, with Lost Records: Bloom & Rage following on December 2 - the same day it launches on PC Game Pass and Game Pass Ultimate.

Looking further into December 2025, two additional titles have been confirmed for Game Pass Ultimate. The highly anticipated sci-fi horror experience Routine is scheduled to join the service on December 4, while the roguelike mining adventure Dome Keeper will become available December 9. Subscribers can expect more detailed announcements about the complete December 2025 Game Pass lineup in the coming weeks as Microsoft continues to refine its content strategy for the holiday season.
