It’s fair to say that 2025 was an incredible year for gamers. No matter the genre you prefer, there was something for everyone and a whole host of surprises. As we move into 2026, we already have the long-awaited Grand Theft Auto 6 on the docket, but don’t let its shadow distract you from the rest of the year’s lineup.
Our calendar currently looks a little sparse, but don’t worry. We will be regularly updating it throughout the year with the latest news on newly announced games, delays, reviews, and releases. We’re also including tabletop releases such as upcoming Magic: The Gathering sets for the first time. So set your bookmarks and remember to check back regularly for the latest game release updates.

The end of 2025 is looking a little bleak as The Eternal Life of Goldman and Paralives move into our 2026 lineup, alongside Grand Theft Auto 6. Paralives is now set to hit Early Access on May 25, 2026, while Rockstar is now keeping us waiting until November 19 for GTA 6. The Eternal Life of Goldman does not yet have a confirmed release date.
