The video game releases of January 2027 kick off a fresh gaming year on PC and consoles. After the holidays, publishers ramp up with a lineup of notable titles across PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo Switch and computer. To help you navigate, the Sortiraparis editors have highlighted the key games to watch throughout the month.
January puts the spotlight on a surprisingly diverse range of worlds.

Action, adventure, RPG, sports games, horror experiences or more offbeat titles: everyone should be able to find a game that matches their mood, whether you prefer to play in solo, in co-op or online.
