The year may be young, but we’ve already gotten a lot of big video game releases. We’ve gotten a new Pokemon spinoff, a new Horizon, Gran Turismo, Kirby, and a huge new From Software game. So it’s understandable if April is a little slower. Below, you’ll find a list of release dates for all the biggest games releasing this month and in the foreseeable future. We update it often, so come back anytime to see what’s ahead. Whether you have a PS5, Xbox Series X|S, PS4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, or PC, you have a lot to look forward to.

April may be slower than recent months in terms of big games, but that’s not to say you’ll have nothing new to play. LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga hits April 5, the same day as Sony’s big baseball sim. RPG fans can check out a remastered version of Chrono Cross two days later.
