Game Pass adds five more games to November, including Stalker 2

Microsoft isn’t done bringing more titles to Xbox Game Pass this month, with five new games announced for the subscription service. These additions to the catalog also do not include today’s launch of Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024.

Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl is the big one, another day-one Game Pass addition. The sequel arrives tomorrow, November 20, and looks set to be a terrifying but strangely alluring return to the Zone. At one point, developer GSC Game World thought Stalker 2 might be impossible on the Xbox Series S, but the studio made it work. Meanwhile, the adorable Little Kitty, Big City and PlateUp are also coming to the subscription service tomorrow.

The Sekiro-like metroidvania Nine Sols is finally coming to consoles on November 26 – as well as Game Pass. The game has been a critical darling since its launch on PC, as a GameSpot sister site Metacritic has Nine Sols with an 83 metascore (at time of release).

Last but not least, Aliens: Dark Descent lands on Game Pass on November 27. The real-time tactics title lets you take on the Xenomorphs some two decades after the original film trilogy.

Microsoft is also noticing that Game Pass Ultimate subscribers will receive Genshin Impact perks such as two Intertwined Fate and 10 Hero’s Wit. At the end of this month, Game Pass will also lose nine games, as will Rollerdrome.
