The Best New Video Games of 2026 (So Far)

It's hard to believe, but 2026 is winding down. Well, maybe that's easy to believe if you remember that Code Vein 2 and Highguard kicked off the year in January, and both now feel like ancient history. We're getting closer to putting together our year-end game of the year come December, but there's still a long road until then. We're still catching up on a busy year of games, from big-budget hits to indie hidden gems. Oh, and there's still this little game called Grand Theft Auto 6 to consider.
