One look at the upcoming games 2026 list is all it takes to realize that we’re in for an exciting 12 months. This year’s release calendar feels so impossibly stacked, with major blockbusters landing every other month. From Saros and Wolverine to 007 First Light and Fable, there’s a strong variety of AAA releases coming out way. Of course, this will also be the year we finally see GTA 6 hit current-gen consoles in November.
Other titles to look out for include an exciting slate of upcoming Xbox games, such as Halo: Campaign Evolved and Gears of War: E-Day. Upcoming Switch 2 games might not spark the same amount of hype, but Nintendo has already dropped a system-seller in Pokémon Pokopia. Suffice it to say, there’s plenty to look forward to this year, and you can keep track of all the releases using our weekly-updated upcoming games 2026 calendar.

Games Releasing in April 2026
April houses the first PlayStation exclusive of the year in Saros. It’s accompanied by the likes of Pragmata and Invincible VS, alongside a smattering of Indie games. One indie title that’s worth keeping on your radar is Mouse: P.I. For Hire – a charming shooter 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.

Games Releasing in May 2026
May features not one, but two upcoming PS5 games that I’m personally really excited for. The first is 007 First Light from the minds behind Hitman, and the second is LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight from the minds behind LEGO Batman. On the Xbox front, Forza Horizon 6 finally sees the franchise hit the shores of Japan, rounding out an excellent month of 2026 games in the process.

The upcoming games 2026 list for June is slowly taking shape, with some major titles announced for release.

Games Releasing in July 2026
Publishers are beginning to commit to July release dates, although there’s little in the way of heavy-hitters. Here’s how this month is shaping up on the new games front:
| Game | Release Date | Platforms |
|---|---|---|
| Peace Island | July 1 | PC |
| Moonlight Peaks | July 7 | Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch 2 |
| Granblue Fantasy: Relink – Endless Ragnarok | July 9 | Nintendo Switch 2 |

Games Releasing in August 2026
The new games 2026 calendar for August is starting to fill up, with two major titles confirmed for release:
Game Release Date Platforms Anomaly President August 3 PC Beast of Reincarnation August 4 PS5, Xbox Series X/S, PC Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls August 6 PS5, PC Metal Gear Solid Master Collection Vol. 2 August 27 PS5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch 2, PC
Games Releasing in September 2026
September is quickly shaping up to be one of the busiest months of the year, especially following the release date announcement for Wolverine. Here’s how the upcoming games 2026 calendar looks for this month currently:
Game Release Date Platforms Halloween: The Game September 8 PS5, Xbox Series X/S, PC Phantom Blade Zero September 9 PS5, PC Marvel’s Wolverine September 15 PS5
Games Releasing in October 2026
So far, there have been no game announcements with an October 2026 release date. However, we’ve listed a few titles that are likely to target an October window:
Game Release Date Platforms Control Resonant Expected Q4 2026 PS5, Xbox Series X/S, PC Plague Tale Legacy Resonance Expected Q4 2026 PS5, Xbox Series X/S, PC Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War IV Expected Q4 2026 PC Fable Autumn 2026 PS5, Xbox Series X/S, PC Bluey’s Happy Snaps Fall 2026 PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch 2, PC
Games Releasing in November 2026
November, which is traditionally a hectic month for video game releases, could actually see most publishers clear the landing pad for GTA 6. Of course, a few Indies will hold firm, but expect the penultimate month of the year to be all about Rockstar’s latest offering – provided it doesn’t suffer from another delay.
Game Release Date Platforms GTA 6 November 19 PS5, Xbox Series X/S
Games Releasing in December 2026
Games releasing in December will have to contend with the likelihood of GTA 6 dominating consumer purchases during the Holiday period. Rockstar’s latest title will be a tough act to follow in every sense of the word, which is why no major publisher has announced a December 2026 release.
With that being said, we’ve taken a stab at predicting games that could potentially risk this release window. Keep in mind that a majority of the table is based on speculation.
Game Release Date Platforms Beautiful Light (Early Access) December 2026 PC The Duskbloods Expected Q4 2026 Nintendo Switch 2 Blood of the Dawnwalker Expected Q4 2026 PS5, Xbox Series X/S, PC Gears of War: E-Day Expected Q4 2026 PS5, Xbox Series X/S, PC
Upcoming 2026 Games With No Release Date
Many other new games are scheduled to release in 2026, although their publishers have yet to announce concrete release dates for them. We’ve listed all upcoming PS5, Xbox, and Switch 2 games that fall under this category below:
Game Release Date Platforms Ace Combat 8: Wings of Theve Expected Q3 2026 PS5, Xbox Series X/S, PC Acts of Blood Expected Q3 2026 PC Animo Expected Q3 2026 Xbox Series X/S, PC At Fate’s End Expected Q4 2026 PS5, Xbox Series X/S, PC Big Walk Expected Q4 2026 PC Bloodstained: The Scarlet Engagement Expected Q4 2026 PS5, Xbox Series X/S, PC Brigadine Abyss Expected Q3 2026 PS5 Castlevania: Belmont’s Curse Expected Q4 2026 PS5, PC Call of Duty 2026 Expected Q4 2026 PC and Consoles Control Resonant Expected Q4 2026 PS5, Xbox Series X/S, PC Crashout Crew Expected Q4 2026 PC Danganronpa 2×2 Expected Q3 2026 PS5, Xbox Series X/S, Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch 2, PC Deltarune: Chapter 5 Expected Q3 2026 PS4, PS5, Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch 2, PC Kena: Scars of Kosmora Expected Q3 2026 PS5, PC The Duskbloods Expected Q4 2026 Nintendo Switch 2 Exodus Expected Q4 2026 PS5, Xbox Series X/S, PC EA Sports FC 27 Expected Q3 2026 PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch 2, PC Fable Expected Q4 2026 Xbox Series X/S, PC Gears of War: E-Day Expected Q4 2026 Xbox Series X/S, PC Halo: Campaign Evolved Expected Q3 2026 PS5, Xbox Series X/S, PC Hell Let Loose: Vietnam Expected Q4 2026 PS5, Xbox Series X/S, PC Lords of the Fallen 2 Expected Q4 2026 PS5, Xbox Series X/S, PC Madden NFL 27 Expected Q3 2026 PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, Nintendo Switch 2, PC Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydra Expected Q4 2026 TBC Mortal Shell II Expected Q3 2026 PS5, Xbox Series X/S, PC NBA 2K27 Expected Q3 2026 PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch 2, PC Onimusha: Way of the Sword Expected Q4 2026 PS5, Xbox Series X/S, PC Ontos Expected Q4 2026 PS5, Xbox Series X/S, PC Outward 2 Expected Q2 2026 PC Plague Tale Legacy Resonance Expected Q3 2026 PS5, Xbox Series X/S, PC Star Wars: Galactic Racer Expected Q3 2026 PS5, Xbox Series X/S, PC Serious Sam: Shatterverse Expected Q3 2026 PS5, Xbox Series X/S, PC Super Meat Boy 3D Expected Q3 2026 PS5, Xbox Series X/S, PC The Blood of the Dawnwalker Expected Q4 2026 PS5, Xbox Series X/S, PC Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis Expected Q3 2026 PS5, Xbox Series X/S, PC There Are No Ghosts at the Grand Expected Q3 2026 Xbox Series X/S, PC Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War IV Expected Q4 2026 PC Witchbrook Expected Q4 2026 Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch 2, PC Witchfire Expected Q3 2026 PC
