Grand Theft Auto VI (November 19)
The biggest launch of the year, and probably the decade. After two delays, Rockstar locked in Thursday, November 19, 2026 for PS5 and Xbox Series X|S. There’s no PC version at launch.
GTA 6 takes the series back to Vice City with two lead characters, Jason and Lucia. Expect stock pressure across the UAE in launch week, so ordering early is the safest way to play on day one. You can follow official updates on the Rockstar Games website.
Tip: GTA 6 is a huge install. If your PS5 storage is tight, clear space before launch day.
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time Remake (November 5)
Nintendo is celebrating Zelda’s 40th anniversary with a ground-up remake of the 1998 classic. It’s a Nintendo Switch 2 exclusive. It won’t run on the original Switch, because it uses the Switch 2 microphone and motion controls.
The remake adds full voice acting and lets you play the ocarina using the mic. Collectors should look at the Ocarina of Time Limited Edition (40th Anniversary), available to pre-order at GamesPlanet for 379 AED.
Attack on Titan 3 (December 10)
Koei Tecmo and Omega Force are closing out their Attack on Titan series with a game that covers the whole story, from the Survey Corps beginnings to the final battle. It launches December 10, 2026 on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, Switch 2 and PC.
If you still have Attack on Titan 2 or Final Battle save data on your console, keep it. It unlocks extra in-game bonuses. Pre-order Attack on Titan 3 for PS5 at GamesPlanet for 299 AED.
