2026 has been one of the busiest in terms of game releases; however, November is one of the quietest. Thanks to GTA 6's launch, a ton of titles have been avoiding the month like the plague, but there are still some standouts that haven't gone running to the digital hills that should be on your radar.
So, the rest of the GamesRadar+ team and I have decided to highlight all of them for you below in a handy round-up. From the big major Rockstar outing to a bunch of surprising Nintendo goodness, the good news is that there really is something for everyone here. I will also say that although they didn't make this particular list, there are also a bunch of upcoming indie games releasing in November, so I highly recommend checking out our full guide on all the new games for 2026 and (beyond) for a full picture.
But with all that out of the way, let's dive into the top 5 games you need to play this November, in no particular order.

World of Warcraft Forever aims to return to what made WoW so iconic two decades ago, while introducing new and expanded zones, new dungeons, raids, skills, talents, new playable race, over 1000 quests, updated visuals and way more that I've run out of breath for. If you are an RPG fan or a veteran of the MMO, then this should definitely be in your sightline and you can read more about the impending releases with our World of Warcraft: Forever Big Preview breakdown.
Release date: November 5, 2026Platforms: Switch 2
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time is getting a remake for the Switch 2 and as a Nintendo fan, this is a must-buy. The upcoming Switch 2 game is a full ground-up reimagining of the classic 1998 N64 action-adventure title, with modernized gameplay including a jump button (I know), updated graphics that have divided the internet, fully voice-acted cutscenes, and other new additions too. The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time is one of the best and most influential games ever made so needless to say, its remake is a big deal.
