Couch pick: Godzilla remaster

Godzilla: Destroy All Monsters Melee Remastered arrives on Tuesday 3 November with local co-op and online play. Platforms confirmed in Atari’s announcement are PS5, Xbox Series X|S, PC (Steam), Nintendo Switch and Switch 2 – so it’s a strong sofa pick whether you’re on a big TV or a handheld.

PC pick: WoW: Forever

World of Warcraft: Forever goes live globally on Wednesday 4 November (Blizzard lists 23:00 UTC / 3:00 p.m. PST), so depending on where you live it may open late Wednesday or early Thursday local time. Access is included with a World of Warcraft subscription or Game Time. It’s Blizzard’s reimagined take on the original Azeroth continents – a permanent home alongside modern and Classic WoW.
