Stalker 2 is finally releasing later this month—knock on wood, but it doesn’t look like another delay is in store for us—and there are loads of other exciting games out in November. I’m personally looking forward to the new Microsoft Flight Sim, where I can finally act out my fantasy of being an aerial firefighter. (Dropping all that water looks so satisfying.)
See what’s out in November below, as well as some of the big gaming events to look out for. For a more zoomed-out view of what’s coming out on PC this year, check out our lists of2024’s upcoming PC gamesand2025’s upcoming PC games—next year is already looking stacked.
November’s big PC release dates
Planet Coaster 2| November 6Build your own roller coaster park. Planet Coaster 2 “may not be the deepest management sim you can buy,” we said inour positive review, “but its powerful creation tools and newly added water attractions make a sufficiently satisfying splash.”

Slitterhead| November 8A new horror game from Keiichiro Toyama, director of the original Silent Hill. Since we play as “an entity devoid of memory and physical form,” I suspect we may be prompted to wonder whether we are in fact the real monster. (But the slitterheads are called “slitterheads,” so I’m guessing that they are also the real monster.)
