Biggest Video Games to Watch Out for in 2026
According to various global sources, including analyst firms and various media outlets associated with the gaming industry, many believe that 2026 will become a key year for the overall growth of the video game market. In this regard, the launch of Grand Theft Auto VI (GTA 6), developed by Rockstar Games, has the potential to become the focal point of what many would consider to be a critical transition within modern gaming.
Speculation About GTA 6
When new systems of artificial intelligence (AI) are implemented into gaming and combined with the expansive, evolving world of an open-world game like GTA 6, it can have a lasting impact on how gamers perceive what is possible when it comes to the future of gaming. Industry analysts believe the launch of this game has the potential to fundamentally change how players feel about what they can expect from games across all genres of gaming.

A New Direction for the Gaming Industry
While GTA 6 may dominate many of the headlines in 2026, several other major releases and developments will also emerge, including:
(A) Further AAA sequels that have been under development for several years,
(B) Original intellectual property (IP) released by publishers around the globe, and
(C) Continued development of live-service games.
Additionally, developers are focusing on providing players with improved storylines, realism, and freedom than in previous models. In addition, developers are focusing on offering players a longer playing opportunity and higher-quality updates, rather than on making games available for purchase for a shorter period of time after release.
Growth of Hardware, Consoles & Technology
We can also expect to see the continuous growth of hardware, including the development of new next-generation consoles, the evolution of cloud gaming (improved platforms), and the addition of AI centred gaming systems.
