What to Play in November 2026: New Releases for PC, PS5 and Nintendo Switch 2

Dozens of games are released every month on PC, PlayStation, Xbox and Nintendo Switch, making it easy to get lost among the releases. We have selected the most interesting new titles of the month: major single-player adventures, cooperative projects, and online games with regular updates. For each game, we've included the release date, platforms, and a purchase link, so you can jump straight to the project you're interested in.

The most anticipated event of November 2026 is the release of Grand Theft Auto 6, one of the most hotly awaited games of the decade. Rockstar’s massive open-world action game will likely keep players busy for a long time. But November has plenty more to offer: a remake of the cult adventure classic, The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time Remake, and Reshine, a cozy, meditative simulator about restoring rare collectibles. Below are all of November’s key single-player releases, with their release dates and platforms.

The continuation of Rockstar's cult game series, set in the fictional state of Leonida, inspired by Florida, and its largest city, Vice City. The story centers on Lucia Caminos and Jason Duval, a pair of criminals whose attempt to make a better life turns into a chain of dangerous events. After a botched robbery, the heroes get dragged into a large-scale conspiracy and have to rely on each other to get out of an increasingly complicated situation. The story combines crime drama, black humor, and satire of modern American society.

The game world includes bustling city streets, beaches, swamps, and small settlements filled with characters, vehicles, and a variety of activities. Exploring the surroundings is combined with shootouts, chases, heists, and missions tied to the main characters' criminal activities. The ability to switch between Lucia and Jason lets you see events from different sides and reveals the particulars of their relationship. GTA 6 continues the series' traditions, offering a vast open world, a rich story campaign, and a satirical view of life in modern America. For the unlock time in your time zone, the file size, and the preload date, see the GTA 6 preload guide; price, editions, map, and characters are covered in everything we know about GTA 6.

A survival game set on an isolated island where dinosaurs and vegetation are infected with a mysterious ectoparasite. You play a field operative sent to the island as part of a search for immortality. The task sounds almost scientific: study the ecosystem, collect samples, and find out what happened to the previous expeditions. The problem is that one of them involved the main character's parents, and the island has long since become a hunting ground for creatures you'd be wise not to make noise around.

Wilderdark focuses not on shooting but on stealth, exploration, and survival with minimal resources. Players need to document their findings with photos, craft tools from improvised materials, ration supplies, and constantly think one step ahead.

A world controlled by an all-seeing AI that holds an endless sequence captive. Every encounter with the machines becomes a trial: fast movement, lightning-quick shooting, and flexibility are your only chance of survival. The surrounding space is destructible, and using the environment to attack turns every fight into a dynamic, adrenaline-fueled challenge, where each firefight feels like a deadly dance between destruction and victory.

Weapons in VOID/BREAKER aren't limited by standard boundaries: a unique modification system lets you create endless combinations, turning your gear into a true force of destruction. Mod synergies open up new ways to defeat enemies and demolish the world around you, making every playthrough unique. The fast rhythm of combat and boundless creativity in using weapons and the environment create a sense of constant tension and complete immersion in the game's chaotic world. On November 4 the shooter leaves Early Access and launches on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and Game Pass.

A city-building simulator set in an alternate Ancient Greece that invites you to take charge of your own ancient polis. Your main goal is to turn a modest settlement into a thriving metropolis and win the favor of your patron god. To do so, you'll lay road networks, extract resources, develop infrastructure, and build majestic temples, schools, and theaters. To make sure your citizens want for nothing, you'll need to set up complex production chains and trade, as well as ensure a high level of security and a rich cultural life for the city. Battles take place in real time: you must not only defend against enemy raids but also send troops to storm foreign territories. Dotemu revealed the release date — November 4 — in a trailer back in September.

An updated version of one of the most iconic adventure games in history — The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. The story once again takes you to the kingdom of Hyrule, where young Link sets off on a journey through time to stop the approaching darkness and prevent the treacherous Ganondorf from seizing the power of the Triforce.

The remake preserves the original story, the atmosphere of exploration, and the original's iconic dungeons, supplementing them with modern graphics, reworked locations, and updated staging of key scenes. The journey passes through the picturesque lands of Hyrule, ancient temples, and mysterious ruins, where puzzles, battles, and discoveries are inseparably tied to the mechanic of moving between the hero's childhood and adulthood. Nintendo has revealed who is making the remake and how else it differs from the original.

An atmospheric Lovecraftian fishing adventure set in a world after a nuclear apocalypse. You play a sailor who has set out on a fishing trawler for a grim place called the Floodlands. As you progress through DREADMOOR, you'll need to catch fish, sort and sell your catch, experiment with bait, upgrade your vessel, search for valuable resources and old blueprints, craft and improve gear, fight off mutated creatures, and beware of radiation. Dream Dock announced the game back in April 2025.

A colorful metroidvania with an enemy "juggling" mechanic and a unique feature: a single strike on a source of fire makes your blade ignite, piercing the darkness and unlocking spectacular abilities. You have to use the flame wisely, because superior enemy forces can quickly extinguish it as they try to keep the hero in the dark. For more of the genre, see our list of the best metroidvania games.

A dynamic action roguelike in the spirit of Vampire Survivors. The game combines a frantic pace with the grim atmosphere of the Warhammer 40,000 and Warhammer: Age of Sigmar universes, turning every arena into a chaotic slaughter. At the center of the action are legendary warriors from both eras — from Space Marines to Sigmar's champions — who must face endless hordes of enemies. During battles you can collect and upgrade iconic weapons, strengthening your character and creating devastating ability combinations. On release day, November 10, the game joins Xbox Game Pass.

The latest installment of the football management series, with a refreshed interface, improved navigation, and additional tools for managing your team. Familiar controls have become more convenient, and there's now a full-screen mode, scale settings, and a faster-responding interface. Personalization lets you adapt your workspace to your own style with bookmarks, quick access, preferences, and a new tile editor.

Beyond the club career itself, Football Manager 27 offers a more thoroughly developed football world. An updated news feed covers important events of the season, including cup draws and the closing of the transfer window, while statistical and analytical reports help you follow what's happening and assess your team's position against its competitors. Alongside the release date, Sports Interactive showed off overhauled stands, enhanced stadiums, and more dynamic cutscenes.

A detective adventure about 17-year-old schoolgirl Hope, who tries to solve the mysterious disappearance of her parents in the Chinese city of Shenyang. The heroine has no professional detective skills, but she has an eye for detail and draws well, so she records the clues she finds in a notebook, gradually building logical connections between them.

The investigation unfolds against the backdrop of a stylized Shenyang with a high-contrast visual aesthetic that conveys the atmosphere of street culture and hidden tension. The non-linear story allows events to develop differently depending on the information gathered and the conclusions drawn. For more investigations, see our list of the best detective games.

A hardcore platformer with an absurd sense of humor, where trees are the main enemy. The forest here lives by its own rules: branches get in your way, traps appear at the worst possible moment, and bomb apples fall right on your head, turning every attempt to advance into a chaotic test of patience and reflexes.

Trees Hate You is built around constant betrayals, unexpected deaths, and deliberately taunting level design, evoking classic "pain games." The world seems to deliberately try to break the player's logic, making you fail again and again. Behind this chaos lies a thrill — the desire to get through the next section after all and survive one more helping of insane traps. If you enjoy this kind of punishment, see our roundup of the hardest games of all time.

A management simulator about creating and growing your own medieval smithy. The journey begins with basic extraction and processing of raw materials, hiring craftsmen, and organizing production, gradually growing into a complex economic system that demands precise calculation and strategic planning. At its Early Access launch in May 2025, the game earned 94% positive reviews on Steam.

Each worker has unique skills that can be leveled up, and the variety of orders — from household utensils to combat weapons — calls for a flexible approach to production. Upgrading equipment, fulfilling large contracts, and analyzing market demand unlock access to advanced technologies. The main goal is to forge not only top-quality steel but also a resounding name recognized throughout the game world.

A cozy, meditative game about restoring forgotten antique items. The action takes place in an attic full of relics of the past. Every item you find bears the marks of time — dust, rust, and ingrained grime that disappear step by step as you restore it. The unhurried pace, soothing sound of rain, and minimalist visual style create ideal conditions for complete immersion and relaxation.

A colorful roguelike set in a dark fairy tale, where the path to the princess runs through a cursed city full of nightmarish creatures and dangerous trials. The core of GrimKeep's gameplay consists of finding items, rolling dice, and assembling effective combinations capable of dealing colossal damage. Each run is a chance to try a new strategy, put together unusual ability combos, and get closer to the final goal — meeting the princess, whom you must defeat.

Build development is based on the synergy of items and dice: their effects can reinforce one another, triggering powerful bonuses and damage multipliers. Special dice expand your tactical arsenal, letting you poison enemies, heal your character, and earn gold. In the Crucible, items and their properties can be smelted down to create unique combinations, and the skillful use of defense, stuns, and healing helps you overcome the most dangerous enemies. The experience you accumulate lets you refine your strategy in subsequent attempts or change your approach to the playthrough entirely.

The dynamic co-op VR shooter PAYDAY: Aces High, the lively dance simulator for the whole group Just Dance: Decades of Hits, and the remaster of the cult fairy-tale adventure Shrek 2 Remastered — all the new co-op releases of November 2026 in a single roundup.

A team action game with building elements, in which dropping onto hostile planets turns into a harsh battle for resources and survival. Your squad has to explore dangerous worlds, build fortified bases, repel attacks from alien hordes, and evacuate in time with valuable loot.

The longer your fighters stay on the surface, the higher the threat level — but the more generous the final reward becomes. Realistic physics actively affects both building and combat: players can toss gear to allies, make smart use of the environment, and turn gravity into a deadly weapon against advancing aliens.

Each squad member contributes unique skills to the team, and chaotic combat situations demand instant reactions and flexible tactics. Whether alone or in co-op with friends, you'll have to hold key positions, gather resources, and manage to leave the planet before it destroys the gravhounds. The game arrived on Game Pass on November 2, the first of nine November additions.

A colorful open-world sandbox with farm simulator elements, where players have to set up their own cozy corner on a distant planet at the very edge of the galaxy. Your main helper will be a huge walking robot: with its help you can grow exotic alien crops, develop farming, and erect a variety of buildings. The mech can be flexibly modified, unlocking new functions and abilities. You can play either solo or in co-op with up to four friends.

A co-op VR shooter set in the Payday universe invites you to lead a team of elite robbers and carry out the most audacious criminal schemes. After the betrayal of a powerful tycoon, a chain of contracts leads through secured banks, guarded museums, and luxurious penthouses, turning every outing into a risky operation with a colossal payoff.

Every job in Payday: Aces High requires detailed planning and a choice of tactics: from quiet stealth work to a frontal assault with loud gunfire. The available arsenal is constantly expanded with new firearms and high-tech gadgets — such as a grappling hook and automatic turrets — letting you tailor your gear to any playstyle. Growing your reputation opens up new possibilities, while successful heists bring you closer to the perfect robbery or plunge the team into uncontrollable chaos. Fast Travel Games set the release date for November 5 and ran a final playtest ahead of launch.

The sequel to the puzzle adventure, in which you'll have to master the art of escape. This time the academy has turned into a full-fledged open world with a new campus hiding many secrets and hidden threats. The curriculum consists of deadly rooms with intricate puzzles, traps, and challenges, and behind the usual classes lies a large-scale conspiracy rooted in the history of the institution itself.

Spiked ceilings, bottomless pits, and convoluted exams turn learning into a real test of ingenuity. You can play through the campaign either solo or in co-op mode, where the key to success is solving puzzles in sync. Coin Crew Games confirmed the November 5 release date in mid-October.

A dance game in the Just Dance series with a selection of 35 popular tracks spanning six decades — from the 1970s to the 2020s. For the first time in the series, there is an adventure mode dedicated to time travel. The heroine Lyra, daughter of Dr. Gigavolt, travels through six themed worlds to save her father. Each of them is tied to a particular musical era — from seventies disco and the eighties rock scene to the pop music of the 2000s. Besides dancing, the mode offers small activities and exclusive rewards. We gave it 7/10: why it's still the best dance party game, though more of an expansion than a new entry, is in our Just Dance: Decades of Hits review.

An updated edition of the adventure game Shrek 2, based on the animated film of the same name. Shrek, Fiona, and their loyal companions set off for the faraway kingdom of Far Far Away, where the heroes will encounter new meetings, dangerous opponents, and familiar characters from the fairy-tale world. The story reproduces the main events of the original, supplementing them with humorous situations and interesting challenges.

As you progress, you take control of several characters, each with unique abilities needed to overcome obstacles and solve spatial puzzles. The updated version fully preserves the atmosphere of the original, the familiar heroes, and the signature humor of the Shrek universe, offering a chance to relive the fairy-tale journey in a modern form. You can play in co-op for up to four players, on the couch or online — though the recommended specs call for an RTX 4070.

The main online releases of November will be the bright, cozy life simulator Loftia and the large-scale return of the legendary universe World of Warcraft: Forever.

A cozy multiplayer life simulator in the sky, where floating islands become a shared home for a close-knit community. You'll explore a vast, ever-changing world, meet its inhabitants, complete interesting tasks, and gather resources. From the materials you obtain, you can craft tools and arrange your own corner to your liking. Gardening, flying between islands, and adventures together with friends will let you settle comfortably into your new home and grow your sky community.

Loftia pays special attention to sustainability and harmony with nature. Players have access to various farming techniques — from hydroponics and aquaponics to growing crops on trellises. And the energy of the sun, wind, and rainwater helps create useful devices without harming the environment. The game organically combines an unhurried rhythm, creative freedom, and warm social interaction, offering you the chance to build a thriving world high above the ground together with friends.

An improved version of the classic World of Warcraft from 2004 in the Classic+ format. The project preserves the spirit of the original MMORPG and its key gameplay mechanics, including the level cap of 60, but supplements the familiar world with a large amount of previously cut content. The game features three new locations, reworked classic zones, more than a thousand quests, and nine dungeons. Graphics, textures, and lighting have received noticeable improvements, while the visual style of the original World of Warcraft will remain recognizable. For the first time in the series, the game supports controllers natively from day one.

Single-player games are designed for a solo experience, focusing on story, atmosphere, and character development. Co-op and multiplayer projects involve playing together with other people.

Most modern story-driven games feature a choice system that affects how events unfold, so replaying can lead to a different ending or unlock new plot branches.

On most consoles (PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo Switch), an active subscription to the respective online service is required. On PC, a subscription is usually not necessary.

A live service game is a project that receives regular updates and new content, staying supported by the developers over a long period.

Usually, you just need to register, download the game client or app, and follow the instructions to create a character and begin.

Many online games are free-to-play but may contain in-game purchases. Some projects require a one-time purchase or a subscription fee.

New players are often offered starter packs, registration bonuses, exclusive items, or in-game currency to help them get a head start.

The list of games for the month is before you — ranging from massive single-player adventures to cooperative projects and online games with a vibrant community. Each release is interesting in its own way: some offer a deep plot and atmosphere, others focus on hours of gameplay with friends, while others are regularly updated and keep you engaged for months.

If you don't know where to start, consider the platform and genre: for those who love exploring worlds alone, story-driven actions and RPGs are a better fit, while fans of joint playthroughs should check out the cooperative section. System requirements and prices for each game can be checked directly on the game's page — links are provided in each block. To look beyond the current month, see the most anticipated PC games of 2026 — with separate lists for PlayStation 5 and Nintendo Switch 2.
