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 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.

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.
