Our most anticipated game is finally dropping, and there are tons of other exciting PC games and events to watch for this month.
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 of 2024’s upcoming PC games and 2025’s upcoming PC games—next year is already looking stacked.
November’s big PC release dates
Planet Coaster 2 | November 6
Build your own roller coaster park. Planet Coaster 2 “may not be the deepest management sim you can buy,” we said in our positive review, “but its powerful creation tools and newly added water attractions make a sufficiently satisfying splash.”
Slitterhead | November 8
A 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.)
The Rise of the Golden Idol | November 12
The sequel to one of our favorite detective games, The Case of the Golden Idol, which we said in our 2022 review was “a challenging and inventive set of mysteries to solve tied together with a brilliant storyline.”
Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 | November 19
The sequel to Microsoft’s 2020 Flight Simulator reboot focuses on careers, with “aviation activities ranging from Medevac, Remote Cargo Ops, Aerial Firefighting, Search & Rescue and more, all the way to becoming an Airline Passenger Transport Pilot.”
Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl | November 20
The long awaited sequel to the Stalker games—the last one, Call of Pripyat, released in 2009—is finally arriving after first being announced in 2010. As of our last poll, it’s PC Gamer’s most anticipated game.
