February can be deceptive. On one hand, it’s a transitional month — the New Year release rush is already behind us, while the big spring offensive is still ahead. On the other? In 2026, February looks like anything but a breather. There will be no time to catch up on your backlog. The second month of the year brings major launches, several heavyweight RPGs, a handful of high-profile sequels, and a generous dose of nostalgia. All of that adds up to a packed schedule — regardless of platform.
Below, you’ll find a full overview of February 2026 game releases, including a quick TL;DR for the impatient and a closer look at the most important titles of the month.
TL;DR — Key February 2026 Releases
- Biggest survival horror release: Resident Evil Requiem (February 27)
- Loudest action RPG of the month: Nioh 3 (February 6)
- Major platform moment: Avowed launches on PlayStation 5 (February 17)
- Most recognizable sequel: High on Life 2 (February 13)
- A strong hit of nostalgia: Tales of Berseria Remastered (February 27)
If you only have time for one release, these are the games that will dominate player conversations, coverage, and streams. Unfortunately, the remaster of the first Deus Ex, originally scheduled for February 5, has been delayed to an unspecified date.
How To Use This Release Calendar
This article is intended for informational purposes only. As always, keep in mind that launch dates can change, especially closer to the end of the month. Treat this schedule as an accurate snapshot “as of now”, not a 100% guaranteed roadmap.
Likewise, the term “major releases” refers to widely discussed titles, well-known franchises, and multi-platform launches — not necessarily every game on the list, or even the ones we personally find most interesting.
In short: this is a solid February 2026 release calendar, but if you want full certainty, it’s always worth checking store pages and official announcements shortly before launch. Especially if you’re planning a day-one purchase, preload, or early access.

Biggest Highlights of the Month
- Resident Evil Requiem (February 27)
The heaviest hitter of February, and unquestionably one of the loudest releases of early 2026. Resident Evil Requiem is the ninth mainline entry in the series, with Capcom leaning into a blend of classic survival horror and a more modern narrative scope and production scale. It’s aimed squarely at fans hungry for a “full-fledged” new chapter — the kind that fuels debates, deep dives, and spoiler warnings for weeks after launch.
If there’s one game poised to dominate February conversations, Requiem is the obvious frontrunner.
- Nioh 3 (February 6)
Team Ninja returns with the next entry in one of the most demanding action RPG franchises of recent years. Nioh 3 is built for players who value technical combat, deep builds, and a high skill ceiling. New mechanics, a more developed structure, and fresh variations on yokai encounters make this an absolute must-play for series fans, and a serious test of patience for everyone else.
- Avowed on PlayStation 5 (February 17)
After launching on PC and Xbox, Avowed finally arrives on PlayStation 5. For many players, this will be their first chance to experience Obsidian’s fantasy RPG. The PS5 version launches alongside additional improvements and new content, making it appealing even to those who previously watched the game from the sidelines.
- High on Life 2 (February 13)
The absurd shooter is back in full force. High on Life 2 doubles down on the original’s style: talking guns, exaggerated humor, and fast-paced shooter gameplay. It’s not a game for everyone — but if the first entry was your vibe, or if you can quote Rick and Morty lines from memory without blinking, this sequel could easily climb to the top of your February priority list.
- Tales of Berseria Remastered (February 27)
February is also a month for classic fans. Tales of Berseria Remastered targets players eager to return to a familiar world in a refreshed form — with improved visuals and quality-of-life updates… or rather, gameplay mechanics. The key question? How did the developers manage to improve something that already felt perfect?
Could Anything Still Change?
With such a packed schedule, it’s always wise to stay alert. Date shifts, delayed platform availability, or content changes can happen right up until the final stretch. A perfect example is the previously mentioned Deus Ex Remastered, which not long ago was still listed with a February 5 release date — a date that now feels like ancient history.
The safest approach? Double-check information during release week — especially if you’re planning a day-one purchase, tracking regional release times, or waiting on a day-one patch. Keep an eye on developer and publisher pages, social media, and official storefronts.
