2026 video game release date calendar

Dec 15, 2025, 5:49 PM

There are simply too many good games coming out all the time these days to play everything, but dang it, I will try.

The calendar year of 2026 has plenty of big titles to look forward to, including Grand Theft Auto 6 in November (please, please, please, no more delays) and many others. The year starts strongly with titles like Resident Evil Requiem and 007 First Light, so it's sure to be another good campaign for gamers.

Lock in for another great year of gaming and check the list below to see what is coming out and when.
