Whichever way you look at it, 2016 is set to be one of the best years for the new generation of consoles.
Video game release dates in 2016
The number of games due for release in 2016 keeps growing, and the year is so far looking very strong, even accounting for a few inevitable delays. Plenty of games got delayed to 2016, too, not to mention the ones already targeting 2016, and almost all of them make us excited.
To keep track of all this, we’ll go over all confirmed release dates for PlayStation 4 as well as PC. Release dates will reflect either the North American or worldwide dates, depending on the game, but always the earliest.
We can’t list every game and every platform ever, but the article will be constantly updated with new releases, date changes and more.
January
January, which used to be a quiet month, isn’t that way anymore. With major releases like Dying Light, Saints Row 4 & Gat out of Hell, Life is Strange, Resident Evil HD Remastered, and DLC for Far Cry 4 and Assassin’s Creed Unity in 2015, January 2016 isn’t looking quite as hot, but is bustling nonetheless.

Homefront: The Revolution (PC, PS4) – May 17
Mirror’s Edge Catalyst (PC, PS4) – May 24
June
Welcome to E3 month, during which almost nothing comes out. In fact, we don’t have a single dated title for this month. We do, however, have a few confirmed releases in June, just no specifics.
No Man’s Sky (PC, PS4) – June
ARK: Survival Evolved (PC, PS4)
Odin Sphere: Leifthrasir (PS3, PS4, Vita) – June 7
One Piece Burning Blood (PC, PS4) – June
Valentino Rossi The Game (PC, PS4) – June
July to December
Did you notice how we’ve lumped all these months together? This is due to a couple of reasons. In the case of July and August, game releases are expected to be slim. But you can count on FIFA and other sports games to start coming out around that time. There’s also a good chance a Destiny game will release in September, judging from the franchise’s release schedule so far.
October, November, and December will undoubtedly be the among the busiest months of the year, and we expect new Assassin’s Creed, Call of Duty, and Battlefield games, but there aren’t any confirmed dates so far. When we do have some, we’ll be here to update the list.
Deus Ex: Mankind Divided (PC, PS4) – August 23
Confirmed for 2016 with dates TBA
Naturally, this will be the largest list at the year’s start, and that’s because publishers have been delaying games to 2016 for a while, even the ones that may not be ready for a 2016 launch have been tentatively slapped with a 2016 date. Expect some of these to either move to 2017, or get sorted in one of the previous pages.
