Xbox Game Pass Adds Its 4th and 5th Day-One Games for November 2025

Two new games, Whiskerwood and Egging On, have been added to Xbox Game Pass on multiple subscription plans. With these additions, November has seen four games launch directly onto the service, bringing the total number of games coming to Xbox Game Pass in 2025 to 194.

Two new indie games are making waves. Egging On, created by Polish studio Egobounds, is a challenging platformer where you play as an egg, carefully navigating levels while battling the forces of gravity. Whiskerwood, published by Hooded Horse, is a city-building game with a unique twist: you manage a colony of mice constantly under the thumb of demanding cats. Developed by Minakata Dynamics, it requires players to balance the needs of their mouse citizens with the taxes imposed by their feline rulers, featuring complex systems similar to games like RimWorld and Timberborn.

Whiskerwood and Egging On Now Available on 2 Xbox Game Pass Tiers

Despite being very different games, Whiskerwood and Egging On are now both available on Xbox Game Pass, launching on the service on the same day. Both games are available immediately to players with a PC or Ultimate Game Pass subscription. Whiskerwood is currently only playable on PC, but the developers plan to add more platforms after its early access period, which is expected to last around a year. Egging On and Whiskerwood are the fourth and fifth games to be released directly onto Xbox Game Pass this November, following the recent additions of Football Manager 26, 1000xResist, and Dead Static Drive.

Whiskerwood and Egging On Coming to Xbox Game Pass Premium in 2026

Microsoft expects both Whiskerwood and Egging On to be available on Xbox Game Pass Premium sometime between May and November 2026. This timeframe was determined by changes Microsoft made to its Game Pass tiers in October, when it replaced the Standard tier with Premium and promised to add games from the Ultimate tier to Premium within a year. The estimated start date is based on how quickly the company released similar content after launching the previous Xbox Game Pass Standard tier in September 2024.

Xbox Game Pass Has Many More November Releases in Store

Xbox Game Pass subscribers can look forward to eight new games throughout the rest of November 2025. Some of the highlights include Voidtrain, Lara Croft and the Temple of Osiris, and Great God Grove. The biggest release of the month will be Call of Duty: Black Ops 7, launching on November 14th.
