Games of January 2026

Games of January 2026

Welcome to 2026! January has officially lost its status as the quiet month as there are some big games coming to all platforms this month, with a few games getting a second shot at life on new platforms.

This year we are doing something a little extra, we are going to include games that are getting local physical releases in our list. That means if Game X released in 2025, but is only getting a physical release in stores this month, we will pop it in there. Please note, that this is not going to be for Limited Run Games, Strictly Limited Games or any other pre-order release offering, just normal walk in a buy games.

Links will be for standard versions of game, no deluxe or special editions here. As always, dates are correct at time of publishing
