The Xbox Game Pass subscription service had an especially strong month in November 2021, with the service adding the likes of Forza Horizon 5 and the next-gen version of Skyrim: Special Edition to the lineup. Microsoft is making sure that November ends with a bang for Xbox Game Pass subscribers, as it's added three more games for players to check out, including a surprise bonus game that was not announced in advance.
As of November 30, Xbox Game Pass subscribers across the cloud, console, and PC can check out Evil Genius 2: World Domination, Generation Zero, and Mind Scanners. Evil Genius 2 was confirmed for Xbox Game Pass weeks in advance, while Mind Scanners was announced just a week ago. Generation Zero, however, had no prior announcement, and so its addition to the Xbox Game Pass lineup has come as a surprise for fans.
For those who may be unfamiliar with the games, Evil Genius 2 is a real-time strategy/simulation game where players on the role of a James Bond-esque supervillain. In their role as a criminal mastermind, players have to construct their own base and attempt to build a doomsday device. Evil Genius 2 earned mostly positive reviews with its PC release, but its now available on consoles as a day one Xbox Game Pass.
Xbox Game Pass New Games for November 30, 2021
- Evil Genius 2: World Domination
- Generation Zero
- Mind Scanners
Generation Zero, meanwhile, is quite a different beast. Developed by Avalanche Studio, the studio behind the Just Cause games, Generation Zero is a 4-player co-op first-person shooter survival game. Generation Zero originally released in 2019 and had some pretty negative reviews upon its release, but the game's Xbox Game Pass debut comes alongside a fresh update that should make it a bit more appealing.
And finally, Mind Scanners is a day one Xbox Game Pass game that like Evil Genius 2, previously released for PC. The game has drawn comparisons to Papers, Please, but has a cyberpunk aesthetic. Anyone interested can try Mind Scanners through Xbox Game Pass now.
In the meantime, there's even more for Xbox Game Pass subscribers to look forward to next month. December 2021 brings with it the launch of Halo Infinite's campaign, not to mention the Xbox debut of Among Us and the release of day one game The Gunk. It's clear that there's plenty for Xbox Game Pass subscribers to look forward to in December, but fans can check out the games newly added on November 30 in the meantime.
