That\u2019s partly because developers have yet to finalise their plans, but also because Grand Theft Auto 6 is currently planned to arrive in November \u2013 something everyone scrambled to avoid last year, only for it to be delayed again.<\/p>\n<p>Read on for our list of the biggest games releasing in 2026.
