Xbox Game Pass to remove seven titles with easy achievements in November
Xbox Game Pass will remove seven games known for easy achievement lists in the November 2026 Wave 1 lineup change. TrueAchievements identifies the departing titles as games players often target for quick Gamerscore gains. The removals coincide with the addition of new titles including Escape Academy 2: Back 2 School, Thronefall, and Warhammer Survivors. A separate report notes GoldenEye 007 is among 14 total games leaving the service, though the full list remains unconfirmed by Microsoft.
Why it matters
Microsoft rotates Game Pass titles monthly, typically announcing departures two weeks in advance. Achievement hunters track these cycles because completions become impossible once a game leaves the service unless purchased separately. The November wave continues a pattern of removing shorter, achievement-dense titles while adding newer releases.
What is confirmed
- Xbox Game Pass is losing seven games with easy achievement lists in the November 2026 Wave 1 update.
- New games coming to Game Pass include Escape Academy 2: Back 2 School, Thronefall, and Warhammer Survivors.

Still unconfirmed
- The full list of 14 departing games may include additional titles beyond the seven highlighted for easy achievements.
- December 2026 could see further Game Pass removals based on Pure Xbox speculation.
What to watch next
