New Game Release Dates: The biggest games coming soon for PS5, Switch 2, Xbox, and PC

2026’s new game releases are off to a strong start. After February brought us Resident Evil Requiem,  Nioh 3, and more, March looks to be a busy month for game release dates, with the likes of Marathon, Pokémon Pokopia, and Monster Hunter Stories 3 arriving in stores.

Looking ahead, Saros, Pragmata, and Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream are planned to release in April, followed by 007: First Light, Forza Horizon 6, and Lego Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight arriving in May.

As is typical for video game release dates, at the time of publishing this article, we know little about what’s planned to come out in the second half of 2026. That’s partly because developers have yet to finalise their plans, but also because Grand Theft Auto 6 is currently planned to arrive in November – something everyone scrambled to avoid last year, only for it to be delayed again.

Read on for our list of the biggest games releasing in 2026. We’ll be updating this list regularly, so feel free to check back for a simple guide to the year’s most exciting PS5, Xbox, Switch 2, and PC games.
