Xbox has announced the first batch of Game Pass games for November, and as usual, there's plenty on offer for everyone.

But before we even hit November, Game Pass is adding in three new titles today. First up is Headbangers: Rhythm Royale, a rhythm game battle royale all about pigeons, Jusant, a climbing adventure that plays wonderfully, and Wartales, an open world RPG "in which you lead a group of mercenaries in their search for wealth across a massive mediaeval universe," all of which is coming to console, cloud, and PC. November itself is quite a stacked month too! From pretty much right off the bat on November 2 comes Thirsty Suitors, a "stylish, story-driven adventure that unfolds through turn-based battles, skateboarding, and cooking," on cloud, console, and PC.

Then, a few days later on November 6, Football Manager 2024 (both the console and PC versions) will join the subscription service, letting you live out all of your football managerial dreams once again. After that, there's Dungeons 4 on November 9, which lets you "build a cozy and comfortable Dungeon to suit your creatures’ needs and rule over them, then send them out into the Overworld to kindly remind the good people living there that the Absolute Evil rules over their lands."
