COD: Black Ops 7 Hits Game Pass on Nov 14 - Plus 10 More

Microsoft’s first November drop for Game Pass is stacked, headlined by Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 on 14 November. There are 10 other picks spread across indie oddities, co-op looting and a cosy survival game. But there’s churn: six leavers hit mid-month. Here’s the clean list, UAE prices context, and which tier you actually need.

What’s new in Game Pass (first half of November)

Microsoft confirmed 11 arrivals for the first November wave. Dates and platforms are split across cloud, console and PC.

• Dead Static Drive — 5 Nov (Cloud/Console/PC)
• Sniper Elite Resistance — 5 Nov (Cloud/Console/PC)
• Egging On — 6 Nov (Cloud/PC/Series X|S)

• Winter Burrow — 12 Nov (Cloud/Console/PC)
• Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 — 14 Nov (Cloud/Console/PC)

Microsoft’s blog and partner pages list tier access per game. Expect some titles to require Ultimate or PC Game Pass; a few also show up on Premium. Black Ops 7 is confirmed for Ultimate and PC Game Pass on day one.

These dates are global; UAE players typically see content flip in the evening. If you track times, keep an eye on the Xbox app notifications.

Black Ops 7 on Game Pass: the details

COD’s annual drop arrives in Game Pass from day one, which softens the blow of the new subscription pricing.

• Launch date: 14 November 2025
• Available with: Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass (not the mid-tier console plan)
• Modes at launch: co-op campaign, 16 6v6 maps, two 20v20 maps, round-based Zombies

The Xbox listing and Xbox Wire confirm the date and day-one access. Windows Central notes it won’t be included in the mid-tier console plan, so budget for Ultimate or PC. If you’re on PC, Activision’s launch post has specs and preload timings.

UAE pricing and tiers: what changed

Xbox reshuffled plans in October. Names changed, prices went up, and Ultimate gained a couple of perks.

• Ultimate: ~$29.99/month (~AED 110)
• Premium: ~$14.99/month (~AED 55)
• Essential: $9.99/month (~AED 37)
• PC Game Pass: $16.49/month (~AED 61)

Microsoft says Ultimate now includes Ubisoft+ Classics and a Fortnite Crew perk, with more day-one titles overall. If you’re only on PC, the standalone PC plan is cheaper than Ultimate but still climbed in price. Local store pricing can vary with tax; the USD figures convert roughly as shown.

What’s leaving on 15 November

Game Pass giveth and taketh away. Six titles depart mid-month, so finish your runs or buy with the sub discount.

• Blacksmith Master
• Football Manager 24
• Football Manager 24 Console Edition
• Frostpunk
• Spirittea
• STALKER 2: Heart of Chernobyl

STALKER 2 and Frostpunk are the big losses here; both are chunky time sinks. If you’re in the middle, consider grabbing them before the discount disappears.
