May 2026 Video Game Releases: Full Schedule and Biggest Games

May 2026 is another busy month for new video game releases, with a steady mix of big-name titles, smaller indies, and a wave of early access games hitting throughout the month. From long-anticipated games like 007 First Light and Forza Horizon 6 to under-the-radar releases that could quietly become hits, there is no shortage of variety, no matter what you want to play.

What really stands out most this month is just how packed the schedule is from start to finish. Nearly every week brings a surge of new games, whether it is major releases, ports arriving on new platforms, or smaller experimental titles finding their audience.

Thanks to Insider Gaming community member Moru, who put together a fantastic spreadsheet of upcoming games, you can find all of the new video game releases for May 2026 below. So give it a look, and let us know which games you’re most excited to play this month. And if you happen to see a game missing, leave it in the comments to be added to the list.
