November 2026 brings a packed lineup across Nintendo Switch 2, PlayStation Plus and PC, with two big Switch 2 exclusives, a beefed-up Switch 2 Edition of a Pikmin favorite, a trio of PlayStation Plus Monthly Games and a notable football management sim launch.
Nintendo Switch 2 Headliners
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake arrived on Nintendo Switch 2 as a console exclusive Nov. 5. The remake preserves the original’s 3D third-person perspective while completely overhauling the visuals with a detailed, stylized art style. Art director Aya Shida said in Nintendo’s Ask the Developer interview that the team built that look around “a puppet-show feel” rather than chasing realism. The game also adds modern features, including a dedicated jump button, full voice acting in cutscenes, optional motion-control aiming and the ability to hum ocarina songs into the Switch 2’s microphone.
Marvel‘s Guardians of the Galaxy: Encore Edition also landed on Switch 2 on Nov. 5 as an exclusive. The original 2021 game won Best Narrative at The Game Awards 2021 and picked up four total nominations. The Encore Edition runs natively on Switch 2 instead of through the cloud and adds a new set of 1980s glam rock outfits for Star-Lord, Drax, Gamora, Rocket and Groot.
Pikmin 4 – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition + Dandori Academy, an upgraded version of the 2023 Nintendo original, comes to Switch 2 on Nov. 12. It isn’t a brand-new game, and players who already own Pikmin 4 on Switch can buy an upgrade pack instead of the full package. The update adds enhanced visuals, voice commands for the rescue pup Oatchi through the Switch 2 microphone and Dandori Academy, a new mode of timed treasure-collection exams with online leaderboards and 72 stages rolling out over time. A free demo has been on the eShop since Nov. 2, and your save data carries over.
PlayStation Plus Monthly Games for November
PlayStation Plus subscribers can claim three new titles Nov. 3-30, according to the PlayStation Blog:
- Dead Island 2 (PS5, PS4)
- Tomb Raider IV–VI Remastered (PS5, PS4)

The lineup gives subscribers a mix of zombie-slaying action, a remastered classic trilogy and a strategy deck-builder sequel, all included at no extra cost through the Monthly Games program.
