Top 50 Best Games Launching in 2022

It’s the beginning of the year and although this is generally a good time to look back and despair at your growing backlog, we’re just around the corner from some pretty major video game launches.

In preparation, we’ve crafted a list of the top 50 best games launching in 2022. Trust us when we say this list could have doubled in size to cover 100 upcoming titles but these are the ones that are truly worth keeping on your radar.

Overall, it’s a characteristically diverse list from the team here at TheSixthAxis. We’ve got slam dunk sequels, AAA heavy hitters, and promising indies, amidst more obscure video games releasing in 2022. It’s worth noting that some names featured here don’t have a release date set in stone. As such, expect some of our top picks to slide into 2023 (or beyond!).
