The Biggest Games Coming in November 2026
Grand Theft Auto VI — November 19
Platforms: PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S
It’s finally happening. At least, that’s the plan.
Rockstar Games is taking players back to Vice City and the state of Leonida in one of the most anticipated video game releases in years.
With protagonists Jason and Lucia at the center of the action, Grand Theft Auto VI promises another sprawling open-world crime story filled with chaos, questionable decisions, and probably a few hours spent doing everything except the actual missions.
Let’s be serious. November 19 is practically a gaming holiday.
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time — November 5
Platform: Nintendo Switch 2
Some games are legendary. Others helped define an entire generation.
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time belongs in both categories.
Link’s iconic adventure through Hyrule is scheduled for a Nintendo Switch 2 release this November, giving longtime fans another reason to revisit one of gaming’s most celebrated adventures.
Between the temples, the music, the Master Sword, and that unforgettable journey through time, this is the kind of game that reminds us why we fell in love with gaming in the first place.
And yes, we’ll absolutely be revisiting Hyrule.

ATLUS’s fantasy RPG is making its way to Nintendo Switch 2.
