The best new video games of February 2026

If you haven’t noticed, it’s been a ridiculously busy February for new games. The month started off strong out the gate with Nioh 3 and Dragon Quest 7 Reimagined, but things really spiraled out of control in the second week of the month. We got new Yakuza, Mario, God of War, Rayman, and High on Life games all within a five-day span — and that was barely scratching the surface. Breakout indies like Mewgenics and Relooted competed for players attention, while niche games like Tokyo Scramble and Crisol: Theater of Idols tried to nab a bit of attention in the cracks.
