Grand Theft Auto VI, Marvel’s Wolverine, Legend Of Zelda: Ocarina Of Time Remake. These games are just the tip of the iceberg of titles that are slated to come out in the second half of 2026. September alone has dozens of exciting releases that we’re eager to try out. You yourself may be trying to parse through which games should be at the top of your “must play” list, so as such, we polled the GameSpot staff to lock in our most anticipated titles for the rest of the year.

Since the dawn of time, humanity has yearned for one thing: to trip balls and return to nature. While you’re not legally allowed to do that in most territories, the next best thing is a digital tour of the wild side in the few games brave enough to offer your in-game character a bag of cactus buttons. Will GTA 6 continue a proud tradition pioneered by its predecessor in the space of expanding your mind and giving you a sneak peek at what awaits you when you reincarnate and return to nature?

Another special event arrives to Pokopia this month, allowing you to meet a new Pokemon in the world and earn limited-time cosmetics. Pokopia’s latest event is themed around the wish Pokemon known as Jirachi, and this guide will explain how to participate in the Wish Upon a Jirachi event and all known event rewards. Wish Upon a Jirachi event details Jirachi event rewards. Pokopia’s Wish Upon a Jirachi event is live from June 23 – July 8, and the event will start and end at 5 AM for your local time.

There are a lot of fun gadgets and items in Crimson Desert, but we’ve just found one of the more ridiculous ones. The Bleed Bandits’ Alchemy Explosive Pack generates bombs when you take damage. Normally it is a durability-based item, however, you can also trigger it to generate bombs yourself, negating the damage and durability hits. It’s essentially an infinite bomb-creating behemoth of an item when used in this way. Head to the Southern Quarry.

Last month, Valve launched its Steam Controller and demand has far outweighed the supply. So much so that as of today, new orders for Steam Controller won’t be fulfilled by Valve until 2027 at the earliest.

Earlier this week, it was reported that Microsoft has entered negotiations to shut down, or grant independence to, acclaimed action-game studio Ninja Theory just a mere eight days after the studio revealed its newest title, Senua, at this year’s Xbox Games Showcase.

Prime Video’s Fallout TV show is adding more big names to its cast for the upcoming third season. Manny Jacinto (The Good Place), Emily Mortimer (The Newsroom), and Thomasin McKenzie (JoJo Rabbit) are all joining Season 3 of the video game show in recurring roles, according to Deadline. The show’s official social media account confirmed the news, asking fans to welcome Mortimer, Jacinto, and McKenzie to the series.

The 2026’s Men’s World Cup is underway, and the popular soccer game Rematch got an update recently inspired by the global event. Now, the game has received another update that adds a skin that lets you play as an almost-naked person. The Naturist is the name of the new skin, and it’s in the game’s store now. As you can see, it doesn’t remove your clothes entirely but pretty much. It basically lets you cosplay as the world’s most famous nevernude, Tobias Funke.

When a game world doesn’t make sense, you could simply dismiss it as being “just a game.” Or, through the power of imagination, you could attempt to truly visualize it and then discuss at length how absolutely absurd it truly is. With that in mind, it’s time I say it: Forza Horizon 6 and the previous entries in the series do not make sense, and the longer we think about it, the weirder it gets.

The Grand Theft Auto series began in 1997, and every game in the series lets you commit the titular crime–sometimes stealing a parked vehicle, but often carjacking a driver in the middle of the street. But with the recent reveal of the Grand Theft Auto VI cover art, we realized something pretty remarkable: Only one game in the series actually features a grand theft auto on the cover.
