Football Manager 27 leads Xbox’s release week of November 9 to 13: it arrives on November 10 for PC and as a console edition, and Xbox Wire tags both for Game Pass. Warhammer Survivors, Shrek 2 Remastered and Hard West 2 land the same day, and the schedule runs through November 13.
Xbox Wire editor Will Fulton published the weekly “Next Week on XBOX” feature on November 6. It covers Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, Xbox on PC and Game Pass, and the post says release dates are subject to change.

Which releases are the biggest?
Football Manager 27 from SEGA is the headline. Xbox Wire says the console edition has refined layouts, smarter navigation and fully customisable controller mapping. Gematsu reports a November 10 launch on PC, PS5, Xbox Series, iOS and Android, and Pure Xbox says both Xbox versions reach Xbox Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass on day one.
Warhammer Survivors is a fast-paced roguelite from Auroch Digital, the studio behind Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun, made with Warhammer and poncle of Vampire Survivors. It mixes characters from Warhammer 40,000 and Warhammer: Age of Sigmar against endless hordes. Gematsu adds that a PC demo is available now.
Shrek 2 Remastered from Aspyr is an action-adventure inspired by the DreamWorks Animation film, playable solo or in co-op with up to three friends. Hard West 2 from Klabater is a turn-based tactics game in which a supernatural posse chases a mysterious Ghost Train.
Smaller picks include TANUKI: Pon’s Summer, a BMX delivery game on a fictional Japanese island, and Hope in the City, a narrative mystery about 17-year-old Hope Song in Shenyang, China. Hozy is a no-timer, no-score cleaning game, SONIC PICO PARK is a 2D co-op puzzler with SEGA’s Sonic, and Fakin’ It XL is a party game played with phones.
Prices
Xbox Wire’s English (US) edition shows dollar prices on only some titles; the rest say “Get it now” with no figure on the page:
- TANUKI: Pon’s Summer: $19.99
- Warhammer Survivors: $7.99, shown with a $7.19 sale price

Gematsu lists Warhammer Survivors at $7.99, £6.39 and €7.49. For every other title, no price appears in the sources, so check the Xbox Store in your region. Game Pass titles cost nothing extra for members on a plan that includes them, but Xbox Wire does not break down which plan covers which game.
Who it suits
Sports sim fans. Football Manager 27 is the one to watch, with a PC release and a console edition on the same day, both tagged for Game Pass.
Game Pass subscribers. Football Manager 27, TANUKI: Pon’s Summer, Warhammer Survivors, Hope in the City and 9 Kings carry Game Pass tags, so they are the cheapest way to sample the week.
Families and co-op groups. Shrek 2 Remastered, SONIC PICO PARK, Fakin’ It XL and BOMBANANA are built for playing together, from two players up to a small party.
Cozy and puzzle players. Hozy, Ova Magica, Unpetrified: Echoes of Nature and Hidden Squirrels are quiet picks. Anyone wary of unfinished games should note that 9 Kings and Last Pirates: Die Together are Game Preview titles that Xbox Wire says may change.
What is still unknown?
Xbox Wire does not say which Game Pass plan covers each title or give prices for most games. Regional prices beyond the ones above are unlisted, and dates can change.
