7 games coming out this week which aren't GTA 6

Grand Theft Auto VI is finally out in just a few days, and many developers have shifted their release dates around so as not to be buried beneath the marketing hype.

However, some brave developers have opted to release their games during this week anyway.

This is done either because the audience crossover isn't too dramatic, or because it would be funny.

Either way, those who aren't interested in GTA VI, can't afford it, or don't have a PlayStation 5 or Xbox Series X/S, have plenty of other options to choose from this week in terms of new releases.

Here are our seven picks for games coming out this week that aren't GTA VI across PC and console.

1. Dungeonbound

• Release Date: November 16, 2026

For those who enjoy a good dungeon crawler, be sure to check out Dungeonbound which is hitting Steam next week. It's a roguelite autobattler with a focus on both PvP and PvE gameplay, complete with inventory management and cyclable runs.

The game is an autobattler, so your main duties here are to prepare for each run and then let the dungeon crawl play itself. It should make for an excellent idle experience, if you're still waiting for your Grand Theft Auto VI download to complete.

2. Spirit Crossing

• Release Date: November 16, 2026

One of many cosy games releasing this week, Spirit Crossing is a multiplayer game where you help lost spirits high up on a tall mountain peak. Build you home and cross paths with other players, sharing stories by the campfire as you go.

It's coming from the same developers as the Cozy Grove series, so you know it's going to be one of those games that has you coming back pretty regularly.

3. Trafficity

• Release Date: November 16, 2026

Trafficity is a city builder with a focus on controlling traffic. Build the roads and zone out buildings from a top-down perspective using a very simple graphics interface.

Use gridless road tools to make everything come together seamlessly. Fix traffic james, craft roundabouts, use fully-customisable traffic lights, and keep traffic flowing as you expand your metropolis.

4. Harma

• Release Date: November 16, 2026

If you're a fan of old-school fantasy roguelites, Harma is one to put on your radar. It uses traditional retro RPG pixel graphics and makes other deliberate choices which hark back to adventure games of the 1980s.

It'll be coming to Steam Early Access on Monday, where the developers intend to add new content periodically.

Astrolabe Games

5. Milki Delivery

• Release Date: November 17, 2026

Neha and her cow Milki have moved to a new community in the countryside, and have set up their own milk delivery service. Visit the different residents of this community and fulfil their milk orders, while also becoming involved in the personal affairs of their day-to-day lives.

In terms of art style, Milki Delivery is reminiscent of Studio Ghibli movies like My Neighbor Totoro and Kiki's Delivery Service, and it's out on Tuesday.

6. Burning Sword: Death Sun

• Release Date: November 17, 2026

A wuxia action game in the same vein as recent hits like Phantom Blade Zero and Where Winds Meet, Burning Sword: Death Sun is set in 12th century China, where you play as Zhang Yixiang, who has been cast down by the Elder of the Northern Mountain, and must find a way back to him.

Burning Sword: Death Sun has a lot going for it, given the fancy graphics and fast-paced action. The game is supposed to be pretty challenging, and there's also a roguelite element to the way you progress and get stronger. We'll know more when it launches on November 17.

7. Toto's Journey

• Release Date: November 18, 2026

Lies of P's Dorothy-led sequel may still be a while off, but Wizard of Oz fans will be able to play through Toto's Journey next week to get their Oz fill. As the name implies, the game stars Dorothy's dog Toto in a new adventure that sees him swept away to the world of Oz, and must find his way back.

Toto's Journey is described as a "cosy adventure", where players have to solve puzzles and explore the different places in Oz. It's essentially Stray but for dog lovers, and there's a big reason to keep an eye on it.
