I can’t ignore the elephant in the room: Grand Theft Auto 6 is out this month, but we still don’t know when we’ll see Rockstar’s return trip to Vice City launch on PC. When we asked in a poll whether y’all planned to wait for the PC release, play it on console at launch, or double dip and do both, a whopping 71% said you would wait. Modding is half the fun for me, so I get it. I’m with you.
But even PC releases are dodging the big GTA 6-shaped gap in November, so what new games are even out there for you to play? Well, World of Warcraft: Forever kicks off the beginning of the month if you need a new MMO to get sucked into. Then Warhammer Survivors is just a few days later, and there’s a whole slew of updates to pick through. It may be a light month, but it’s not empty.
I’m eyeing a few November releases myself, though I wouldn’t mind taking the time to catch up on the 2026 games I missed. As for recommendations, I’ll let my colleagues take it from here.

November 2026 PC Gamer picks
World of Warcraft: Forever
Battle.net | November 4
World of Warcraft is 22 years old, which is bananas, and somehow I’ve gone all that time without touching it once. I’ve reported on it extensively (although not so much these days), but actually played it? Nope. With World of Warcraft: Forever coming on November 4, I’m thinking that maybe it’s time to change that—to jump in and sample the greatest MMO as it was back then, but also new and improved. I’m not a GTA guy and there’s not a whole hell of a lot else happening this month, so now’s the time, right? Maybe. We’ll see. — Andy Chalk
Pool of Radiance: Ruins of Myth Drannor
Steam | November 6
When this turn-based dung eon crawler first came out in 2001, it had so many technical problems our review compared it to Daikatana. One bug deleted system files when you tried to uninstall the game. 25 years later, remaster factory SNEG promises it will actually work and I can finally find out if it’s any good. — Jody Macgregor
Dreadmoor
Steam | November 9
Murky water scares me to death, but I also love the rush of giddy terror, so that’s why the haunted fishing excursion awaiting in Dreadmoor has my full attention. I talk a big game, but I know I’m smashing ALT+F4 the second something lunges at me from the water. Until then, I’m looking forward to its early access debut. — Andrea Shearon
Euro Truck Simulator 2 – Iceland
Steam | November 10
I once went on a Jeep tour of Iceland. I was really hungover, but enjoyed seeing the island anyway, which says a lot, because it was a bumpy ride for someone who had recently stumbled out of a Big Lebowski-themed bar. What I’m saying is that this Euro Truck Sim 2 DLC seems like a pleasant way to get away from it all. 2— Tyler Wilde

Echoes of Central Park
The Division 2
Steam | New York’s once-tranquil scenery turns into a warzone when the Echoes of Central Park expansion adds more to The Division 2 endgame.
Warzone Season 1
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4
Site | Warzone’s integration into MW4 kicks off Season 1 with a player level reset, the new battle royale map: Hajin, and more.
Same-region player matchmaking
Final Fantasy 14
Site | The biggest threat to Eorzea? Queue times. But worry no more as FF14 expands the duty finder pool to include all players in the same region.
The Punished
Monster Train 2
Steam | The Punished DLC adds its “tortured edgelord” clan to Monster Train 2, and if PC Gamer’s card-slinging expert Evan Lahti says it’s a good one, then it’s a good one.
Covens of Umbra
Path of Exile
Steam | The next Path of Exile expansion launches soon, but you can get an early peek when the ExileCon preview airs Friday, November 6, on Twitch.
Silk and Silver
Crusader Kings 3

1.0 update
Blacksmith Master
Steam | Who’s afraid of GTA 6? Apparently not Hooded Horse’s blacksmith sim which forges its 1.0 release on the same day as Rockstar’s crime sim.
Terrifier
Dead by Daylight
Steam | There’s nothing funny about the clown show happening in The Fog when The Terrifier and Sienna Shaw join DBD at the end of the month.
