In a shocking turn of events, hardware sales and physical game spending in the US experienced their worst November in 30 years, according to market research firm Circana. With only 1.6 million units of video game hardware sold, this marks the lowest total since 1995, highlighting a significant decline in consumer spending during what is typically a bustling shopping month. November 2025 saw hardware spending plummet to $695 million, a staggering 27% drop compared to the previous year.

November is shaping up to be an exciting month for Xbox Game Pass subscribers, with the announcement of 11 new titles set to join the service. Among these, the highly anticipated Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 will be available for Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass users starting November 14. This addition is sure to thrill fans of the franchise and those looking to dive into the latest action-packed gameplay.
