The first wave of Game Pass titles for November were just announced today, the 5th Tuesday of October. We have 8 previously-unannounced games coming to the system in the first half of the month, nearly all of them as Day 1 titles. Let's get into it!

Quotes taken from the article linked above. Pay attention to the platforms for each game (Cloud, Console, and PC), as some titles won't be available for all of them. Some of the games in the above article were covered in the previous wave.

Wartales

Cloud, Console, and PC – Available today

"Wartales is an open world RPG in which you lead a group of mercenaries in their search for wealth across a massive medieval universe. Explore the world, recruit companions, collect bounties, and unravel the secrets of the tombs of the ancients."

Thirsty Suitors

Cloud, Console, and PC – Available November 2 as a Day 1 title

"Thirsty Suitors is a stylish RPG that follows the story of Jala who’s back to her town of Timber Hills to confront her mistakes, make up with her exes, reconcile cultural differences, and become the person she was meant to be with active turn-based combat, skating, and cooking."

Cloud, Console, and PC – Available November 9 as a Day 1 title

"Build a cozy and comfortable Dungeon to suit your creatures’ needs and rule over them, then send them out into the Overworld to kindly remind the good people living there that the Absolute Evil rules over their lands."

Note: We took a look at Dungeons 4's demo  some time ago, if you want to get an idea of what to expect. The story seems to follow Dungeon III pretty heavily, so you might want to look into playing that one first, though it's not on Game Pass.
