The five releases that matter most
Grand Theft Auto VI (November 19)
Official Rockstar’s open-world game launches on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S on November 19, with preloading from November 12. Unlock times vary by store region, so check the release time by country guide or the live countdown. You will need about 210 GB, per our file size guide.
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time (November 5)
Official Nintendo’s UK release list dates the Switch 2 remake of Ocarina of Time for November 5. GameSpot describes it as a full remake with a new art style, voiced cutscenes and updated controls. It is the biggest Nintendo release of the month, ahead of Pikmin 4’s Switch 2 Edition with the new Dandori Academy content on November 12.
Football Manager 27 (November 10)
Sports Interactive’s yearly management sim launches on PC, PS5 and Xbox Series on November 10, per GameSpot. For many PC players this is the one game that competes with GTA 6 for time, because neither is a short play.
World of Warcraft: Forever (November 4)
Blizzard’s alternate take on its long-running MMO arrives on PC on November 4. Game File calls it potentially Microsoft’s biggest release of the quarter.
Stellar Blade Complete Edition (November 5 or 6)
Shift Up’s action game comes to Switch 2. Nintendo UK’s list says November 5, while GameSpot says November 6; the difference is likely time zones, so check your local eShop listing.
What to play before GTA 6
If you only have one week before the preload, the best fits are shorter games or ones you can drop easily: Brotato: Primal Dread, Warhammer Survivors (on Game Pass), or a replay of Ocarina of Time. Football Manager 27 and WoW: Forever are the opposite: they can eat hundreds of hours. Our opinion For longer suggestions, see our best open-world games to play before GTA 6.
