Six million games are available from 1560 on,  
http://en.chessbase.com/post/simply-the-best-mega-database-2015, including and up to just "the middle of November 2014." 

Since the Carlsen-Anand Sochi finale was 23 November, the idea is they waited exactly to put out the updated database for overplayed OrthoChess on "small" 64 squares. (From CV perspective, oompare 6th-century 64 to Shogi 81 and Xiangqi "large" 90 board spaces -- or middle ages Gala on 100 http://www.chessvariants.org/historic.dir/gala.html and Courier on 96 squares http://www.chessvariants.org/historic.dir/courier.html, to show two arbitrarily from Germany having large-size more enabling board.)

Stretching to include the 23rd as "middle of November," without saying so because of the low quality of games,* yes, they're all in there for posterity total of 11, the last game 12 unplayed as unnecessary Carlsen-Anand 2014:   Draws 7, Carlsen 3, Anand 1.
