10+ Game Pass Titles Are Confirmed For Xbox's 25th Anniversary Week

We're heading into Xbox's 25th anniversary week! Xbox will officially be celebrating that milestone on Sunday, November 15th (exactly seven days from the time of posting this article), and we're hoping for some surprises along the way.

We already know of one surprise, which is that eight games will be joining Xbox Game Pass Essential on the 15th itself. Combine that with the six others during the rest of the week, and we've got over 10 brand-new additions heading to Game Pass during the course of the 25th anniversary period.

In case you missed them, those eight Game Pass Essential games on the 15th are as follows:

As for the rest, we've got three games arriving on the 10th, two arriving on the 11th, and one on the 12th. There's every chance Microsoft might add to these as we go, but these are the ones that have been confirmed so far.

A highlight for many will be John Carpenter's Toxic Commando on November 12th, which is an awesome take on the classic Left 4 Dead formula, while all the others are "day one" launches, including the extremely addictive Football Manager 27, the Vampire Survivors-like Warhammer Survivors, and BMX postman game Tanuki: Pon's Summer.

Instead of just throwing these ones into a table, we're going to leave them down below with trailers and descriptions, and we'll be sure to remind you on the relevant dates when they become available with your Game Pass subscription.
