2026 video game release dates: PS5, PS4, Xbox, PC and Switch

We're starting to suspect that someone is speeding up the simulation, as there's no other way to explain that we're already into March, and what's more, the games are coming at us thick and fast, with some big hitters coming out this month.

2025 was a bumper year, but 2026 has delivered some great games already, such as Resident Evil: Requiem and Pokémon Pokopia, but it's hard to ignore the Grand Theft Auto 6 elephant in the room.

Still, November is far away, and there are games like Crimson Desert and Marathon that will no doubt keep many of us ticking over in the months to come.

No doubt, there are still many games that haven't been announced yet, either, such as first-party titles from Nintendo for the Nintendo Switch 2, which will turn one year old this June.

But there are oodles of games to get through, so read on to check out all the upcoming video game release dates in 2026 and beyond!
