The first few months of 2026 were a little slow for new game releases, but I find myself saddled with a bit of indecision anxiety as I look at the schedule for May. While I'm not much of a Forza or Hitman player myself, those are the two big releases that have my colleagues really talking.
But there are still plenty of new games that've caught my eye (and hopefully yours too), like the weird musical adventures in Dead as Disco and the next proper Sims 4 competitor, Paralives. I'm also quite excited for Shift at Midnight, which will finally allow me to live out my lifelong dream of owning and operating a gas station from hell with two of my closest friends.
It's also a month of nonstop early access releases. Sure, it seems like we see more and more of these spring up every month, but I swear this May has an inordinary abundance of them. And if none of those manage to get their hooks in you, maybe return to some old haunts like Phasmophobia or Path of Exile ...
