November 2026 video game releases: GTA VI, Zelda: Ocarina of Time and 26 more

November 2026 comes down to two dates: Zelda: Ocarina of Time on the 5th and GTA VI on the 19th. Around them sit 26 other releases, many of them Switch 2 versions of games already out elsewhere. Every date below was checked on an official page (publisher, Nintendo, PlayStation Blog, Steam), not copied from an aggregator.

Everything is also in the November 2026 release calendar, which you can filter by platform and export to your calendar app.

The two big releases

Grand Theft Auto VI — Thursday, November 19, PS5 and Xbox Series. Rockstar takes the series to Leonida, a fictional Florida-inspired state, with two leads: Lucia and Jason. The game has slipped twice: first announced for fall 2025, then for May 26, 2026, it is now set for November 19. The official site reads "Coming November 19, 2026". No PC version has been announced so far.

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time — Thursday, November 5, Switch 2 only. This is a full remake of the 1998 Nintendo 64 game: new visuals, voiced cutscenes, a jump button and a free camera. Its official title does not include the word "Remake". It was revealed in the June 2026 Nintendo Direct and dated during the Zelda 40th anniversary Direct in September.

Switch 2 gets the big games

November is mostly a catch-up month for Switch 2. Five games already released elsewhere arrive on it:

Stellar Blade Complete Edition (November 5): Shift Up's 2024 action game, with the NieR:Automata and NIKKE DLC and a new Bayonetta collab.
Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy: Encore Edition (November 5): a native version of the 2021 game, with all the DLC plus gyro and mouse aiming.
Metaphor: ReFantazio (November 12): Atlus's 2024 RPG from the Persona team, Best RPG at The Game Awards 2024.
Pikmin 4 – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition (November 12): sharper visuals, voice commands and Dandori Academy, a new mode of timed challenges. Owners of the Switch version can buy a paid upgrade pack.
Gothic 3 Classic (November 24): the 2006 RPG, closing the Gothic Classic trilogy on consoles.

Not sure what separates a port from a remaster or a remake? We explain it in Remaster, remake, reboot, port: what's the difference?.

New games worth watching

World of Warcraft: Forever (November 4, PC and Mac): a new take on original WoW, with new zones, quests, dungeons and races, and the level cap kept at 60. Access is included in the subscription.
Football Manager 27 (November 10): Sports Interactive's sim launches on the same day on PC, Mac, PS5, Xbox Series and mobile (through Netflix), with a revamped interface.
Edge of Memories (November 5): the action RPG from French studio Midgar Studio, published by Nacon, following Edge of Eternity. The Deluxe edition gives 48 hours of early access on consoles.
CRYMELIGHT (November 5): the third entry in FuRyu's Cry series after Crystar and Crymachina, a dark roguelite action game inspired by Alice in Wonderland.

Shadow of the Road (November 12, PC): a turn-based tactical RPG published by Owlcat, set in a fantasy 1868 Japan of yokai and steam-powered machines.

Two games also leave Early Access on November 4: VOID/BREAKER, a roguelite FPS that launches on PS5 and Xbox Series the same day, and Lightyear Frontier, Frame Break's mech farming game.

Remasters, remakes and collections

Besides Zelda, three games come back in a new form:

Godzilla: Destroy All Monsters Melee Remastered (November 3): the 2002 kaiju fighter, rebuilt in Unreal Engine 5, with online multiplayer and 12 playable monsters.
Barbie Rewind (November 12): Digital Eclipse collects 16 Barbie games released between 1991 and 2007, plus an unreleased one, inside a DreamHouse you decorate.
Fakin' It XL (November 12): Jackbox's bluffing game returns as a standalone title for up to 8 players, with new modes.

Watch the time zones

Several games launch at a time that changes the date depending on where you play:

World of Warcraft: Forever opens on November 4 at 3 pm Pacific, which is midnight on November 5 in Western Europe.
Stellar Blade Complete Edition launches on November 5 in the West but on the 6th in Korea and Japan. That is why some sites list the 6th.
CRYMELIGHT launches on November 5, Japan time. On Steam, it unlocks on the 4th in Europe and the Americas.
Sonic Pico Park and Fakin' It XL: the official sites say November 12, Steam shows the 11th.

In the calendar, we keep the date announced by the publisher.

How we check dates

For each game, we open the official page (publisher site, Nintendo listing, PlayStation Blog, Steam page or announcement) and record the day we checked it. Games without an official date are left out, even when the press gives one. In November, that is the case for The Binding of Isaac: Repentance+ Online, which several sites place on November 19 with no official announcement we could find. The calendar is updated when a publisher moves a date.
