Your Ultimate 2026 Gaming Release Calendar

Holy smokes, gamers. 2026 is shaping up to be absolutely MASSIVE! If you thought 2025 was stacked with incredible titles, buckle up because next year is set to bring the kind of excitement we haven’t seen in a long time. We're talking about the kind of year where your wallet might need therapy, and your backlog is going to explode into the stratosphere.

Let's cut right to the chase: Grand Theft Auto 6 is finally dropping in November, and yeah, it's going to break the internet. But here's the thing: don't let Rockstar's behemoth overshadow the absolute treasure trove of games coming throughout the year. We've got everything from intense souls-likes like Nioh 3 and Phantom Blade Zero to cozy life sims like Paralives and the updated Animal Crossing: New Horizons. Marvel fans are eating well with Wolverine slashing his way onto PS5, while RPG enthusiasts can dive into Crimson Desert, Dragon Quest 7 Reimagined, and Monster Hunter Stories 3.

The indie scene isn't sleeping either. Mouse P.I. For Hire is already generating serious buzz with its unique noir aesthetic, and Mewgenics promises to be delightfully weird. Horror junkies have Resident Evil Requiem and Halloween to look forward to, while franchise fans are getting treated to 007: First Light, LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight, and Halo: Campaign Evolved, making its PlayStation debut.

Whether you're on PlayStation, Xbox, PC, or the Switch, 2026 has something for everyone. This comprehensive calendar breaks down every major release month by month.
