The 2026 new games calendar is slowly kicking into action, and we’re already beginning to see some exciting releases hit the shelves. By all means, the rest of the year is already shaping up to be something special. If things go to plan, we’ll receive blockbusters such as Resident Evil Requiem, 007 First Light, Wolverine, Saros, Control Resonant, and more in the same 12 months.
Of course, there’s the tantalizing possibility of GTA 6 finally hitting current-gen consoles, but after recent delays, its November release date doesn’t exactly inspire confidence. There’s also an exciting slate of upcoming Xbox games, such as Halo: Campaign Evolved and Forza Horizon 6, that warrant some excitement. Upcoming Switch 2 games might not spark the same amount of hype, but you can bet on Nintendo to reveal some heavy-hitters as the year draws on.
Be that as it may, there’s still plenty to look forward to this year, and to help you keep track of all the releases, we’ve put together a new games 2026 calendar.
Games Releasing in February 2026
For the past few years, February has been packed with major releases, and 2026 is no different. It features some of the most exciting upcoming 2026 PS5 games, such as Nioh 3 and Resident Evil Requiem. Here’s a proper look at the new games 2026 calendar for February:

Marathon’s March release is sure to be fascinating, especially with all the uncertainty surrounding Bungie’s future.

Here’s what the month’s release calendar looks like:
Another shooter to keep on your radar is Mouse: P.I. For Hire – a charming indie title that utilizes the 1930s rubber hose animation style and places you in the shoes of a detective who dares to take on the seedy underbelly of Mouseburg.
