Video games can be costly. The latest generation of video game consoles has seen a price hike for AAA releases. We went from the once-standard $60 for a brand-new AAA game to $70. That didn’t last long before another price hike was introduced, giving publishers the freedom to start putting titles into the marketplace for $80. Fortunately, those $80 games are few and far between. However, with these inflated prices, a subscription service can sometimes be the more cost-effective option. Xbox Game Pass, for instance, is a service that introduces at least two new waves of games each month.
We know that each month will typically have two sets of video game waves. However, outside of Microsoft’s first-party releases, we usually don’t have any insight into which games will be added to the service. That’s where having something like these wave announcements sparks a ton of excitement. Today, on the official Xbox Wire, Microsoft unveiled the games coming to Xbox Game Pass through the second wave of November 2025.
