The biggest new games of 2024 are about to land ahead of 2025. In fact, the last few months of the year have a packed video game release date schedule. You've got one of the biggest upcoming Xbox Series X games of the generation to look forward to, some key upcoming PS5 games, and some excellent-looking new horror, shooter, and adventure games for a variety of platforms. 

And, don’t worry, we haven’t left you Switch fans out of the fun either! While we wait on news regarding the Nintendo Switch 2 we also have all the upcoming Switch games listed down below. However, be warned, there aren’t that many titles currently, and we expect more announcements during a future Nintendo Direct. Still, we've found the most exciting new games to look out for – including some incredible new PC games, the last handful of upcoming PS4 games (ahead of the PS5 Pro's release date), and the final upcoming Xbox One games. 

Below, you'll find the biggest video game release dates of 2024. You can use the navigation bar to jump between the months that have games confirmed, and at the bottom of this article we run through the key new releases that are yet to receive firm windows.
