An image combining Resident Evil Requiem, GTA 6, and Saros

2025 has been an incredibly stacked year for video games, with almost too many Game of the Year caliber titles to even get through. From the sunny outback in Death Stranding 2: On the Beach to the heartwrenching twists of Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, and the smaller yet no-less-significant indie hits like Blue Prince, there’s been plenty to keep us occupied.

Now, as we turn our attention to 2026, it’s already shaping up to be another historic year chock-full of unforgettable games. If there are no further delays, we’ll finally see GTA 6 hit store shelves and break records overnight, while Insomniac Games will keep the Marvel hype train rolling with the first Wolverine game in 16 years.

It’s already looking to be another busy year, so you’ll need to start planning and pick your battles in the busier months.

Here, we’ve put together a comprehensive list of every video game confirmed for release in 2026. For those without a solid release date just yet, we’ve noted them at the end too.
