It’s official! 2017 is over. Having been one of the best years in recent memory – as far as games are concerned – the only thing we can do now is look to the future and hope 2018 is as good or better.

2018 has only just kicked off, but many developers have already set release dates or targets for the biggest games. Then there are, of course, the few anticipated 2017 games that got pushed back.

As we do every year, we’ve gathered as many release dates as possible in one place for you to check out anytime. The list is updated daily, and though we do try to include as many games as possible, some inevitably slip.

Here are all the confirmed release dates for PC, PS4, Switch, and Xbox One games. These are the Western release dates, and always the earliest – whether that is US, worldwide, or European dates. We sometimes also highlight other anticipated releases like DLCs, betas, big updates and so on.

The list will be split into even more months and seasons the more release dates get confirmed.

January and February

The first two months of the year are typically relatively quiet, compared to the onslaught of the fall. That said, more and more big games are moving their release dates to these months for better exposure.

In 2018, January and February are full of surprises. We already have confirmed release dates for Monster Hunter World, the Shadow of the Colossus remake, Dragon Ball FighterZ, the big Arcade Edition update for Street Fighter 5 and many more.

  • Street Fighter 5: Arcade Edition (PC, PS4) – January 16
  • Forged Battalion – Steam Early Access launch (PC) – January 16

March, Q1, and early 2018

Compared to January and February, March looks a bit quieter than usual. For many publishers, releasing games in March is a good way to boost fiscal year earnings before it ends, but we don’t have as many heavy-hitters this time around.

What we do have, however, is Far Cry 5, the promising A Way Out, Attack on Titan 2, the Western release of Yakuza 6, and a few other games. This is also where we’re going to lump all games with tentative “early 2018” release targets, and anything else aiming for the first quarter.

  • Bravo Team (PSVR) – March 6
  • Devil May Cry HD Collection (PC, PS4, Xbox One) – March 13
  • Golem (PSVR) – March 13
  • Pure Farming 2018 (PC, PS4, Xbox One) – March 23
  • Yakuza 6: The Song of Life (PS4) – March 20
  • Attack on Titan 2 (PC, PS4, Xbox One, Switch) – March 20
  • Sea of Thieves (PC, Xbox One) – March 20
  • Titan Quest (PS4, Xbox One) – March 20
  • A Way Out (PC, PS4, Xbox One) – March 23
  • Ni No Kuni 2: Revenant Kingdom (PC, PS4) – March 23
  • The Alliance Alive (3DS) – March 27
  • Atelier Lydie & Suelle: The Alchemists and the Mysterious Paintings (PC, PS4, Switch) – March 27
  • Agony (PC, PS4, Xbox One) – March 30

Spring 2018 and the rest of Q2

There is a large chunk of the year leading up to and extending for a bit after E3 2018. It’s different every year, but we’re hoping big-ticket spring games like Red Dead Redemption 2 will actually make it out in the spring like Rockstar announced and not get delayed, again.

Because we’re including April and May in this section, you’ll find games like Crackdown 3, Vampyr, We Happy Few, State of Decay 2 and others – all without confirmed dates.

  • We Happy Few (PC, PS4, Xbox One) – April 18
  • Conan Exiles (PC, PS4, Xbox One) – May 8
  • Street Fighter 30th Anniversary Collection (PC, PS4, Xbox One, Switch) – May
  • Crackdown 3 (PC, Xbox One) – spring
  • Red Dead Redemption 2 (PS4, Xbox One) – spring
  • Vampyr (PC, PS4, Xbox One) – spring
  • State of Decay 2 (PC, Xbox One) – spring
  • Space Junkies (Rift, Vive) – spring
  • Transference (PC, PS4, Xbox One, PSVR, Rift, Vive) – spring
  • Kirby: Star Allies (Switch) – spring
  • Mega Man Legacy Collection, Mega Man Legacy Collection 2 (Switch) – spring
  • Zone of the Enders: The 2nd Runner Mars (PC, PS4, PS VR, Steam VR) – spring
  • System Shock Remake (PC, PS4, Xbox One) – Q2
  • Immortal: Unchained (PC, PS4, Xbox One) – Q2

Summer, Q3, and fall 2018

Summer isn’t typically grouped up with the busy fall season, but we’re only doing this now because there just aren’t that many confirmed dates. Many of the biggest games have a vague “second half” release window, whereas others opted for the less opaque “fall” target.

Besides that, there aren’t really that many games targeting the summer, at least not yet. Many of the games here will eventually have proper dates as the year goes on.

  • Project Rap Rabbit (PC, PS4) – August
  • Jurassic World Evolution (PC, PS4, Xbox One) – summer
  • Mega Man X collection (PC, PS4, Xbox One, Switch) – summer
  • Shenmue 3 (PC, PS4) – second half
  • The Wolf Among Us 2 (PC, PS4, Xbox One) – second half
  • Starlink: Battle for Atlas (PS4, Switch, Xbox One) – fall
  • Overkill’s The Walking Dead (PC, PS4, Xbox One) – fall
  • Metro: Exodus (PC, PS4, Xbox One) – fall
  • Skull and Bones (PC, PS4, Xbox One) – fall
  • Mega Man 11 (PC, PS4, Xbox One, Switch) – late 2018
  • Anthem (PC, PS4, Xbox One) – late 2018
  • Blacksad (PC, PS4, Xbox One, Switch) – Q4

Everything else

All of the games below are shooting for release at some point in 2018. We don’t know when, not yet, but we’re hoping the list will get slimmer every week until everything slots nicely into place. This is the biggest section by far, as it rounds up all manner of 2018 release.

  • Psychonauts 2 (PC, PS4, Xbox One) – 2019
