There’s a little something for everyone in the second wave of titles coming to Xbox Game Pass in November. Marvel Cosmic Invasion, two Don’t Nod titles, The Crew Motorfest, and more are all set to arrive on Microsoft’s gaming subscription service.
Marvel Cosmic Invasion is retro-inspired beat-’em-up that’s reminiscent of ’90s arcade games. It’s developed by Tribute Games, the studio behind 2022’s excellent Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder’s Revenge. Marvel Cosmic Invasion sees your favorite heroes, like Iron Man and Wolverine, fighting alongside deep-cut choices, like Beta Ray Bill and Cosmic Ghost Rider, against the cosmic villain Annihilus. It’ll be available as a day-one title on Game Pass when it launches Dec. 1. If you’re eager to get your hands on the retro side-scroller, you can get a taste of the game via its demo on Steam.
Don’t Nod has made a name for itself with titles like Life Is Strange, Harmony: The Fall of Reverie, and Jusant. Two of its most recent games are set to join Game Pass. Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden, an RPG about love and ghosts, arrives Nov. 25, while the choice-based narrative adventure Lost Records: Bloom & Rage arrives Dec. 2.
The Crew Motorfest joins Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass on Thursday. The 2023 racing game goes open world with a map set in the Hawaiian islands of O’ahu and Maui, and features over 700 vehicles. The Crew Motorfest is a Ubisoft title, and the Ubisoft Plus service joined Game Pass Ultimate last month alongside the announcement that Game Pass Ultimate’s price would rise to $30 a month.
