The Biggest Releases Of March 2026

Marathon | March 5 | PC, PS5, Xbox Series X/S

After a lengthy delay and a series of controversies surrounding its reveal, Marathon is finally out this month. Bungie’s first all-new game in over a decade, Marathon is a co-op extraction shooter set on the distant colony world of Tau Ceti IV, a location described as rife with rival Runners, hostile security forces, and unpredictable environments. You take on the role of a Runner, competing for loot while gunning down anyone who gets in the way.

Marathon features a striking art direction, a variety of customisable Runner Shells, and Bungie’s well-established gunplay foundation. The game releases into a competitive market alongside Arc Raiders, which has already made a strong impression during its server slam period, raising the question of whether Marathon can carve out its own audience in the extraction shooter space.

You can purchase Marathon via Steam, the PlayStation Store, and the Xbox Store. The Standard Edition releases at $40 and the Deluxe Edition at $60.

Pokémon Pokopia | March 5 | Switch 2

Pokémon Pokopia is arguably the most ambitious Pokémon spin-off title to date and is one of the most talked-about Switch 2 exclusives of the year so far. Co-developed with Koei Tecmo’s Omega Force, Pokopia puts you in control of a humanoid Ditto who shapes an empty land using moves obtained from Pokémon, creating habitats, collecting resources, building furniture, and inviting friends to visit. The result is a game that blends elements of Minecraft, Animal Crossing, and the Pokémon universe into something genuinely new for the franchise. Pokémon Pokopia is already the highest-rated Pokémon game ever on Metacritic at the time of writing.

You can purchase Pokémon Pokopia at $70 exclusively for Nintendo Switch 2.

Fatal Frame II: Crimson Butterfly Remake | March 12 | PC, PS5, Xbox Series X/S, Switch 2

Long considered one of the best survival horror games of the early 2000s, Fatal Frame II: Crimson Butterfly is making a full comeback with a brand-new remake. The game follows twin sisters Mio and Mayu, who become lost in an abandoned village haunted by vengeful spirits. Your only weapon against them is the Camera Obscura, a magical camera that captures and seals ghosts away. The remake brings updated visuals, quality-of-life gameplay improvements, and a new mechanic designed to emphasise the deep bond between the two sisters.

You can purchase Fatal Frame II: Crimson Butterfly Remake at $50 on PC, PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and Nintendo Switch 2.

Monster Hunter Stories 3: Twisted Reflection | March 13 | PC, PS5, Xbox Series X/S, Switch 2

Monster Hunter Stories 3: Twisted Reflection is the newest entry in Capcom’s beloved monster-taming RPG spin-off series. The game follows an all-new story involving a pair of Rathalos, a species thought to be extinct, whose reappearance reignites a civil war from centuries earlier. As a Rider, you raise and bond with monsters called Monsties, using their unique abilities to swim, climb, and soar through an open world. The game also introduces a new mechanic centred around habitat preservation and restoration, making each Monstie feel like an essential part of an ecosystem.

You can purchase Monster Hunter Stories 3: Twisted Reflection at $70 on PC, PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and Nintendo Switch 2.

WWE 2K26 | March 13 | PC, PS5, Xbox Series X/S, Switch 2

WWE 2K26 arrives with cover star CM Punk at the forefront, featuring a showcase mode that covers not only his greatest real matches but also a series of dream match scenarios. The game introduces four new match types, places Booker T and Wade Barrett behind the commentary desk, and brings a revamped stamina and reversal system designed to make every match feel more dynamic. The Community Creations feature has also been expanded significantly, and a new sandbox mode gives you even more freedom to build your ideal WWE experience. Joe Hendry is available as a pre-order bonus.

Early Access: March 6, 2026

You can purchase WWE 2K26 via Amazon, Steam, the PlayStation Store, and the Xbox Store.

Crimson Desert | March 19 | PC, PS5, Xbox Series X/S

Crimson Desert has been one of the most wishlisted games on Steam for some time, and it finally arrives this month. Developed by Pearl Abyss, the studio behind Black Desert Online, Crimson Desert shifts from its predecessor’s MMO format to deliver a single-player open-world action RPG set in the massive world of Pywel. Combat has been described as a mix between Breath of the Wild and Dragon’s Dogma 2, and the game promises a world where your choices shape the region as you navigate a power vacuum, battle monsters, and uncover hidden secrets.

You can purchase Crimson Desert at $70 for the Standard Edition, $90 for the Deluxe Edition, and $280 for the Amazon Collector’s Edition on PS5.

Death Stranding 2: On the Beach | March 19 | PC

After launching on PlayStation 5 in 2025, Death Stranding 2: On the Beach makes its way to PC this month. Hideo Kojima’s post-apocalyptic sequel takes players across Australia in a journey filled with ghosts, hand-monsters, and the distinctive storytelling that only Kojima Productions delivers. The PC launch includes super ultrawide support, plus full DLSS, FSR, and XeSS integration for players who want maximum visual fidelity on their preferred hardware.

You can purchase Death Stranding 2: On the Beach via Steam.

Scott Pilgrim EX | March 3 | PC, PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X/S, Switch, Switch 2

Scott Pilgrim EX arrives fifteen years after the original game, featuring a brand-new story from creator Bryan Lee O’Malley. The four-player side-scrolling beat-em-up sees players fight as Scott Pilgrim, Ramona Flowers, and more through the fractured time and space of Toronto, battling gangs of demons, robots, and various other threats. Seven playable characters are available, each with their own arsenal of special attacks, and both offline and online co-op support up to four players.

The map of Nosgoth has also received a significant upgrade with new details added throughout.

World of Warcraft: Midnight | March 2 | PC

World of Warcraft’s eleventh expansion arrives this month, marking a major return to Quel’Thalas, one of Azeroth’s most iconic settings.

Life Is Strange: Reunion | March 26 | PC, PS5, Xbox Series X/S

Life Is Strange: Reunion serves as the epic finale to the Max and Chloe saga, reuniting the pair at Caledon University as a destructive inferno threatens to destroy the campus. Both Max and Chloe are playable characters, each bringing their own unique abilities: Max’s Rewind power and Chloe’s Backtalk ability to confront opponents and access restricted areas. The game follows the series’ established format of branching narrative choices and problem-solving scenarios.
