After a relatively quiet summer, the gaming calendar is ramping back up in September 2026. Publishers are lining up a slate of major releases across PC, PS5, Xbox Series and Nintendo Switch 2, balancing new IPs, highly anticipated sequels, remasters and annual sports titles.
The coming weeks will feature a diverse slate of titles, spanning from action-adventure to RPG, and including sports simulations and strategy games. This guide highlights the month's key releases, helping you track launch dates more easily and spot the titles likely to grab your attention.

Now we’ll see how Insomniac brings Wolverine to life, controller in hand, away from the acrobatics of Peter Parker and Miles Morales.
