5 Must-Play Nintendo Switch 2 Games Coming in November 2026

November is a significant month for video game releases, and 2026 is expected to be no different. While GTA 6, Rockstar's highly anticipated title, is not yet available on Switch 2, there are several other exciting games set to launch for the hybrid console. Here are five must-play games coming to Nintendo Switch 2 in November 2026.

First on the list is a revamped version of the beloved Nintendo 64 classic, Zelda. This top-down remake features a stunning art style and modernized controls, making it a refreshing take on the original game. Polygon's Michael McWhertor praised the snappy gameplay and streamlined experience, calling it a fresh addition to the series.

Next up is Guardians of the Galaxy, a single-player action-adventure game developed by Eidos-Montréal. This game offers a perfect balance between spectacle and heartfelt moments, featuring an impressive soundtrack filled with '80s bangers. The game's humor and well-written script have earned it four Game Awards nominations, with Best Narrative being the top prize.

Stellar Blade, currently facing criticism over its protagonist Eve, is an exhilarating action game that puts your combat skills to the test. As Eve, players must fight off a hostile alien species and unravel the story that led to the fall of civilization. Although the customization and skill tree could be better, the game's engaging combat and thrilling finale make it a memorable experience.

Atlus's latest RPG, Metaphor, is a 80-hour epic that combines dungeon crawling and social sim elements from the Persona series in a medieval fantasy world. Players take on the role of aspiring rulers competing in a Royal Tournament to determine the kingdom's successor. With a diverse cast of characters, unique enemies, and challenging dungeons, Metaphor promises to keep players entertained throughout autumn.

Lastly, Pikmin 4, Nintendo's real-time strategy game, is receiving a Switch 2 upgrade. While the original game had some performance issues, the upgraded version features enhanced visuals, voice commands for Oatchi, and a new treasure-collection challenge mode for Oatchi to complete. Polygon's Emily Price lauded Pikmin 4 as a joyous and wondrous experience that makes the real world seem even more amazing.
