All the video game release dates for 2021/22: From PlayStation to Xbox One, PC and Switch

We may be over halfway through the year, but that doesn’t mean we’ve seen the best game releases yet – far from, in fact, as the latter half of 2021 is sure to bring some huge titles to our beloved consoles.

And lots of those new games can be played on the recently-released consoles, although many of us are still trying to get hold of the PlayStation 5 and the Xbox Series X to see how great all the games look on them. And there are many brilliant titles to come on the Nintendo Switch and on PC too.

We’ve compiled a comprehensive list of all upcoming releases so you don’t have to. A quick housekeeping note first, though: if a release date is as yet unconfirmed, we’ll list a game as ‘TBC’, which is the case for quite a few games coming at some point in the year.

But with that out of the way, here are all the games still to come for the rest of 2021!
