One of 2024's Best Games is Coming to Xbox Game Pass

Nine Sols, one of the highest-rated new game releases of 2024, is making its way to Xbox Game Pass in November. Xbox Game Pass has seen its fair share of high profile new game additions this year, ensuring subscribers constantly have something new to play.

In fact, a batch of games was just added to Xbox Game Pass last week as part of Xbox’s Tokyo Game Show 2024 celebrations. The latest additions were co-op puzzle game All You Need is Help, Square Enix’s Legend of Mana and Trials of Mana, and the well-received We Love Katamari Reroll+ Royal Reverie. The new game additions should keep Xbox Game Pass subscribers plenty busy, but there are even more new games for fans to look forward to in the months ahead.

Specifically, Xbox Game Pass subscribers will be able to play Nine Sols on November 26. Originally released in May for PC, Nine Sols is a 2D action platformer game with Metroidvania and Soulslike elements. Specifically, it’s been compared to FromSoftware’s critically-acclaimed Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice. Nine Sols reviews were largely positive, earning the game an impressive 84 overall rating (according to review aggregate site OpenCritic) and establishing it as one of the highest-rated new game releases of the entire year. Needless to say, this should make Xbox Game Pass subscribers especially excited to see Nine Sols join the Xbox Game Pass lineup when the time comes in November.

Xbox Game Pass Games Coming in November 2025

• StarCraft Remastered – November 5
• StarCraft 2 – November 5
• Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 – November 19
• STALKER 2: Heart of Chornobyl – November 20
• Football Manager 25 – November 26
• Nine Sols – November 26

The Xbox Game Pass November 2024 lineup is really starting to take shape. Besides Nine Sols, it was also recently confirmed that Football Manager 25 is coming to Xbox Game Pass on November 26 as well. Those titles will be joined by Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 on November 19 and STALKER 2: Heart of Chornobyl on November 20. StarCraft Remastered and StarCraft 2, meanwhile, are coming to PC Game Pass on November 5.

It should be stressed that Nine Sols is making its way to more than just Xbox Game Pass on November 26. That same day, PlayStation and Nintendo Switch gamers will also get to try Nine Sols for themselves and see if it lives up to the hype. Granted, those on PlayStation and Switch will have to pay full price for Nine Sols, whereas Xbox Game Pass subscribers won’t have to pay more than they do for their subscription. That being said, Nine Sols will most likely be restricted to the Ultimate and PC tiers of the service thanks to the recent changes Microsoft made to Xbox Game Pass.
