November's best PC games you can't miss

November 2025 is a full-blown PC gaming buffet- wuxia warriors, Cold War shootouts, time loops, and demon-slaying students. From empire builders to indie brain-benders, it's a wild ride through strategy, story, and spectacle

November 2025 is shaping up to be a potentially game-changing month for PC gamers.

You can count on just about every top developer to be dropping something, whether it's a major title, an indie effort, or something they've been working on behind the scenes for ages. Don't forget that this is also the month when Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 and Demonschool drop.

There's something on the menu for almost everyone, whether you're into action-packed shooters, sprawling strategy games, or engrossing story-driven RPGs—something to download and play when the mood strikes you in the middle of the night.

Europa Universalis 5: Change history one empire at a time

Release date: November 4, 2025 | Platform: PC

Europa Universalis 5, the latest in Paradox Interactive's incredibly successful grand strategy series, is calling out to players to relive history in the most thrilling way, and oh yeah, you also get to change it. And not just that, but do so at a level of detail that was always missing from before. Europa Universalis 5 ramps up its realistic simulation with much better diplomacy, a completely reworked system for tracking the population, and a trade system rebuilt from the ground up. The early reviews are already calling out a new dynamic system for country borders and AI that can keep up with and adapt to whatever you decide to do. If you’re a strategy nut like the rest of us, this one’s a major time-suck.
