The Games Everyone Is Watching

GTA 6 (November 19, PS5/Xbox) is the year’s gravitational centre — every other major release has organised itself around not launching in its shadow. Rockstar has confirmed the November 19 date for consoles; PC players will wait longer. After years of leaks, trailers, and delays, this is likely the most anticipated single game release in a decade.

007: First Light (May 27) is the other blockbuster everyone’s watching. The Bond game from IO Interactive — the studio behind Hitman — launches with full path tracing and DLSS 4.5 on PC, and early previews suggest it’s genuinely shaping up to be the best James Bond game ever made.

Marvel’s Wolverine (September 15, PS5 exclusive) is Insomniac’s follow-up to their Spider-Man universe and PlayStation’s marquee exclusive for the back half of the year. The September window is well clear of GTA 6, giving it room to breathe.

The Witcher 4 has no confirmed date yet but is widely expected to make a 2026 appearance — CD PROJEKT RED recently showcased RTX Mega Geometry foliage technology in it at GDC, suggesting the game is further along than the “no date” status implies.

Control Resonant also remains TBC but has been confirmed for 2026 with full path tracing and DLSS 4.5 support — a spiritual sequel that could be Remedy’s biggest game yet.

Nintendo Switch 2 Is Already Stacked

The Switch 2 lineup deserves its own callout. Pokémon Pokopia, Monster Hunter Stories 3, Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream, Ratatan (July), and Mixtape (May) are all confirmed in the first half alone. Nintendo also has Super Mario Bros Wonder: Switch 2 Edition and Disney Dreamlight Valley launching in March. It’s a strong argument for picking one up early.
