Video Game Release Dates: Biggest Games of 2022 and Beyond
In terms of video game releases, things have slowed down since the early months of 2022. We've gotten some big games: a new Pokemon spinoff, a new Horizon, Gran Turismo, Kirby, and of course Elden Ring. But last month was slow, and May will be too, at least in terms of major releases. Even so, plenty of games are still coming out. Below, you'll find a list of release dates for all the most notable games releasing this month and in the foreseeable future. We update it often, so come back anytime to see what's ahead. Whether you have a PS5, Xbox Series X|S, PS4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, or PC, you have a lot to look forward to.

Upcoming Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One Games
Go in guns blazing, or sneak around and snipe enemies from a distance? Or, if you're like me, you can start out stealthy and then let chaos reign once an enemy spots you. Either way, expect plenty of close-up X-ray gore in this sequel.
