November 2026 Game Releases: Every Big Date, From GTA 6 to Zelda

Last updated: October 20, 2026. Release dates can slip, so we'll keep this page current.

November 2026 is the month GTA 6 finally lands, and almost everyone else got out of its way. The other big name brave enough to share the month is Nintendo, with the Ocarina of Time remake two weeks earlier. Here's every notable game releasing in November 2026, plus the last big drops of October and an early look at December.

The big one: GTA 6 (November 19)

Grand Theft Auto VI launches Thursday, November 19, 2026 on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S, with no PC version at launch. It's been delayed twice, and the launch trailer is out, so this is the date. Everything we know about the price, editions, map and story is in our GTA 6 guide.

Nintendo's counter-punch: Ocarina of Time (November 5)

The full remake of the N64 classic hits Switch 2 two weeks before GTA. Nintendo just showed the Dark Link fight, and it looks like a real remake, not a touch-up. See the new trailers.

Switch 2 owners are eating well

Most of November's lineup is Switch 2 versions of games that already did well elsewhere: Stellar Blade, Metaphor: ReFantazio, Guardians of the Galaxy and a beefed-up Pikmin 4. If you skipped these the first time, this is your second shot, and they're all great for late-night handheld sessions.

The 2nd Shift take

November is a one-game month, and everyone knows it. Publishers cleared out of GTA's way. The smart play is to grab Zelda on the 5th, run a couple of the Switch 2 ports, then clear your schedule for the 19th. If you're doing GTA 6 launch night, do it with people.
