This is a dated list, not a rumor board. The nine games below are the ones Xbox Wire, Nintendo’s US eShop, Steam, or PlayStation’s own blog actually pin to a weekday between November 9 and November 15. Gematsu’s November 8 Japan week-roundup confirms several of the same platforms without printing a US weekday; where those lists disagree, we say so. Last Sunday’s monthly calendar still owns GTA 6 on November 19. No shopping links.

Hozy — November 9

Today. Xbox Wire dates Hozy November 9 and marks Xbox Play Anywhere. It does not mark Game Pass on that date line. tinyBuild is the publisher on the tile. Store copy: no timers, scores, or penalties — a home-restoration game about mopping, painting, and placing furniture. PlayStation Blog, November 6, by Sergey Smirnov at tinyBuild, is the PS5 clock: “coming to PlayStation 5 on November 9.” Gematsu’s Japan week-roundup lists PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series in this window without a weekday. Those are two first-party weekdays for the same Monday, not two street dates.

DREADMOOR (Early Access) — November 9

Same Monday, PC only on the listing this desk checked. Steam prints “Release Date: Nov 9, 2026” and “Early Access Release Date: Nov 9, 2026.” Dream Dock develops; Digital Vortex Entertainment publishes. The Early Access FAQ on that page: expect “approximately 6-12 months” in Early Access; “a lower price during Early Access,” then a raise at 1.0. The buy module prints an introductory offer of $19.99 marked down to $17.99, “Offer ends November 23.” A Steam news post on that app dated Monday, November 9 is titled “DREADMOOR Is Out Now in Early Access!” Xbox Wire’s November 9–13 calendar does not list the title. Console SKUs stay off this row.

Football Manager 27 — November 10

Tuesday, not Monday. Steam still prints “Coming Nov 10, 2026” and “FM27 launches on 10th November.” Xbox Wire splits the SKU: Football Manager 27 on November 10 with PC Game Pass, and Football Manager 27 Console on November 10 with Game Pass / Xbox Play Anywhere. The November 3 Game Pass wave-1 post matches both day-one lines. Last week’s board already covered the Launch Preview that ended 6 p.m. GMT November 3; this row is the street date. The monthly calendar on this desk called PC/Mac “Monday.” November 10, 2026 is Tuesday. Steam and Xbox Wire win.

Warhammer Survivors — November 10

Same Tuesday. Xbox Wire dates Warhammer Survivors November 10, marks Game Pass / Xbox Play Anywhere, and prints $7.99 / $7.19 on the pre-order tile. Auroch Digital is the studio. Wave 1 of November’s Game Pass post puts it on Cloud, Xbox Series X|S, Handheld, and PC day one, “in partnership with Vampire Survivors developers, poncle.” Steam’s store page prints November 10, 2026. Gematsu’s week-roundup adds PlayStation 5, Switch 2, Switch, iOS, and Android in this window without a weekday. Those extra platforms are Gematsu’s list, not Xbox Wire’s date line.

Shrek 2 Remastered — November 10

Tuesday. Xbox Wire dates Shrek 2 Remastered November 10 and prints $29.99 / $26.99 on the pre-order tile. Aspyr Media, Inc. is the publisher on that listing. Store copy: solo or up to three friends in co-op through Far Far Away. Gematsu lists PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, Switch 2, Switch, and PC (Steam and Epic Games Store) launching worldwide this week without a weekday. Xbox Wire’s date is the Xbox weekday; the other storefronts are Gematsu’s platform pass, not a second Xbox Wire clock.

TANUKI: Pon's Summer — November 10

Tuesday. Xbox Wire dates TANUKI: Pon's Summer November 10, marks Game Pass / Smart Delivery / Xbox Play Anywhere, and prints $19.99. Critical Reflex. Wave 1 of the Game Pass post puts it on Cloud, Console, and PC day one: deliver packages on a BMX, repair a shrine in a month. Gematsu’s week-roundup lists PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, Switch 2, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Switch, and PC for the same week without a weekday. The $19.99 figure is Xbox Wire’s store tile, not a review.

Pikmin 4 – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition + Dandori Academy — November 12

Thursday, Nintendo Switch 2. Nintendo’s US upgrade-pack listing says “Releases 11/12/26” and, on the buy module, “Regular Price: $9.99.” Official store copy on that page: improved Switch 2 visuals, voice commands for Oatchi through the system microphone, Dandori Academy exams, and Dandori Battles via GameShare or GameChat even if the other player does not own the game. Existing Switch owners buy the upgrade pack; Nintendo’s store also links a full Switch 2 Edition SKU. This desk is printing the $9.99 upgrade-pack price from the listing we loaded, not inventing the full-game sticker. Gematsu matches a worldwide Switch 2 launch this week.

Metaphor: ReFantazio — November 12

Same Thursday, Nintendo Switch 2. Nintendo’s US eShop page says “Releases 11/12/26” and “Regular Price: $39.99.” Publisher copy on that page: the 2024 ATLUS RPG, “AWAKENED” on Switch 2. The game is already out on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC; this is the Nintendo pass. Last month’s calendar on this desk had the date and no US price. $39.99 is on the live listing today. Gematsu notes a Switch 2 game-key card launching worldwide this week.

SONIC PICO PARK — November 12

Thursday. Xbox Wire dates SONIC PICO PARK November 12, marks Xbox Play Anywhere, and prints $9.99. PICO PARK Inc. Store copy: a 2D co-op action puzzle with Sonic the Hedgehog. Gematsu lists PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, Switch 2, Xbox One, Switch, and PC (Steam and Microsoft Store) in this window without a weekday. The $9.99 figure is Xbox Wire’s tile.

Also this week

Xbox Wire also dates Hard West 2 November 10; Hope in the City November 11 with Game Pass / Xbox Play Anywhere at $19.99, matching wave 1’s Cloud / Series / PC day-one line; Fakin’ It XL November 12 with Smart Delivery / Xbox Play Anywhere; and DERELIKT November 13 with Xbox Play Anywhere. Those stay off the main list because they are not this week’s first-party headliners. Xbox Wire still labels 9 Kings as “Game Preview” on November 12 with PC Game Pass and a work-in-progress disclaimer. This desk is not collapsing that tile to a 1.0. Gematsu’s Japan week-roundup, without US weekdays, puts Prinny Party: Going Overboard! on PlayStation 5, Switch 2, Switch, and PC, Moomin: Midsummer Madness on Switch 2 / Switch / PC, and Hard West II on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series. If a storefront moves a date, the storefront wins.
