20 Most Anticipated Video Games Of 2026
1. Grand Theft Auto VI
Grand Theft Auto 6 Release Date: May 26, 2026
And of course, there was never going to be another #1.
Grand Theft Auto VI is unquestionably the single most anticipated video game due for release right now - in 2026 or any other year.
Arriving almost 13 years after GTA V, to call the sequel long-awaited is quite the understatement, and it's pretty much guaranteed that the game will be one of the most commercially successful video games of all time.
GTA VI takes place in the Florida-esque city of Leonida, with a predominant focus on the legendary locale of Vice City, while revolving around a Bonnie and Clyde-like duo, Jason and Lucia.
The trailers so far indicate that Rockstar has spent all their time wisely - this is easily one of the best-looking games ever, and there's full confidence that its open world will be as jam-packed with quality content as anything else the developer has ever made.
Needless to say, just about every other video game in development right now is keeping well away from GTA VI's release period.
