We all know what video game is releasing in November: GTA 6, and almost everything else has moved out of the way for what will be the year’s biggest release, one that’s sure to dominate sales charts for years to come. Some are still brave enough to release in November, however.

Shoutout to Volvy’sAdventure: Reslimed, which is going nearly head-to-head with GTA 6. Brave ol’ Devolver Digital. But Nintendo has a few releases this month worth your attention, including The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time Remake, plus the Nintendo Switch 2 release of Pikmin 4, which comes with the Dandori Academy expansion.

Here are the major video games set to release in November 2026, plus some smaller titles we’re watching and exciting new tech and gear.
