Top 10 Upcoming Games of 2026 and Beyond

Table of Contents

2025 is shaping up to be one of the strongest years yet for gaming, but many of us are already looking ahead. With upcoming games such as Grand Theft Auto VI, Resident Evil Requiem, Pragmata, and many others, we are ready to break new grounds, and 2026 and even the future are full of new games to look forward to. This list is in case you are fond of being informed about new releases of games, upcoming games, new games on PC, or PS5 imminent games. The following are the ten most hyped games that we can not wait to see.

1. Grand Theft Auto VI

One of the most anticipated titles in recent memory, Grand Theft Auto VI is set for release in May 2026. Provided that Rockstar performs at the level of scale, storytelling, and detail of the open world, it will become one of the iconic GTA games. Whether it’s PS5, Xbox Series, or PC, it is one of the best upcoming games that you will desire to have on your radar.

2. Resident Evil Requiem

Resident Evil Requiem, which is scheduled to be released on February 27, 2026, is another milestone of the legendary horror franchise of Capcom. A follow-up to Raccoon City and a new character at its helm, this is a must-watch should you enjoy survival horror and watching how familiar franchises develop. 

3. Pragmata

Pragmata is an action-adventure by Capcom, set on a moon station. The blend of puzzle-gameplay, sci-fi themes, and a mystery of rogue AI makes it one of the largest upcoming PC games and PS5 games, and certainly any sci-fi player will appreciate this game. Expected in 2026. 

4. Titan Quest II

Titan Quest II is proving to be a special one to those who are fond of the mythological worlds and action RPGs, as well as the loot-based gameplay. It is going to be released in 2026 on PC and PS5, among others, and its combination of old ARPG and new upgrades makes it one of the games to look forward to in the coming year so that it will probably strike the right balance between nostalgia and novelty. 

5. Super Meat Boy 3D

It is a radical re-imagining, the dark and bloody platformer Super Meat Boy, fully 3D. Sluggerfly and Team Meat are promising the high controls, insane difficulty, and signature level design–this time in a whole new dimension and graphical resolution. Early 2026 release, PS5, PC, and Xbox. An indulgence to platforming and challenge-oriented games. 

6. Beast of Reincarnation

Game Freak (the Pokémon makers) has given us something quite different. Beast of Reincarnation (also known as Project Bloom) switches to a dystopian future where there is Soulslike fighting, huge monsters, and references to Studio Ghibli aesthetics. It is among the least expected and interesting future games of 2026. This can be gigantic to filmgoers who are fond of solid art direction and ferocious fighting. 

7. Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun II

To those who like shooters, grim dark sci-fi, and the Warhammer universe, Boltgun II will restore visceral single-player first-person shooter action with style and brutality. It is confirmed for 2026 on Windows and PS5 (and Xbox). It is squarely in the list of the best games for shooter fans. 

8. Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War 4

This one would be one to switch genres, as it is a game of real-time strategy. Almost ten years after the last time it released a big campaign, Dawn of War 4 is reviving the large-scale battles, customizable armies, narrative campaigns, and traditional RTS gameplay. Expected on PC in 2026. Exquisite when you are following PC games that have a rich strategy. 

9. Pokémon Champions

Not strictly speaking PS5 or PC-exclusive, but an upcoming game (2026) on Nintendo Switch and on mobile (as well as Android/iOS) is Pokémon Champions, which is drawing interest. It is a return to more strategic multiplayer-oriented gameplay of Pokémon. It is worth a look, should you be subscribing to games, which are on the way, and like cross-platform mobile/touch games. 

10. Saros

It is a new Housemarque IP, which is going to be released in 2026 on PS5 (and PS5 Pro). Saros combines narrative design with atmospheric design and difficult combat and may include a time-loop or rogue-like theme. The speculation continues to be a mystery, yet the pre-release hype is promising that it may be one of the iconic PS5 future games in the coming years. 

Why 2026 Looks Huge

The developers are changing their attitude towards new game releases. Such as opposed to mere sequels, the wave incorporates bold new IPs (Saros, Beast of Reincarnation), genre blends, and platform-based experiences. In the case of upcoming PC and PS5 games, in specific, the hardware is no longer limiting the bottleneck, but it is now about design, narrative, world-building, and challenging the expectations of the player.

When you are fond of following future games in 2025, these titles are going to fuel that fire. Many of the same trends, such as big open worlds, improved graphics, and more detailed stories, are carrying into 2026 and beyond.

Final Thoughts

If you’re making your wishlist, here are the games I think will deliver both hype and impact:

  • Grand Theft Auto VI because of legacy + ambition.
  • Pragmata & Saros – new IPs that are bold in ideas.
  • Warhammer 40,000 titles – a fan of action and strategy.
  • Beast of Reincarnation — something new of a familiar dev.

No matter which genre you lean toward—shooter, platformer, action, RPG, strategy—2026 and beyond are packed with top upcoming games. Stay tuned, because what’s coming soon might just change what we expect from games altogether.
