Update: Cricket 22 has been delayed by a week to December 2nd, so it no longer appears on this list.

November has been a busy month in the world of Xbox, but things are finally slowing down a bit this week. We've still got some big releases in the form of Farming Simulator 22 and LEGO Builder's Journey, but the highlight is arguably the arrival of Mortal Shell on Xbox Game Pass, which joins the service on Tuesday.

Here's what's on the way this week:
