    6 Switch 2 Games Releasing in October 2026 You Officially Cannot Miss (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Neutral tone · English

    Read excerpt

    It's October, which means we're in the thick of the fall and gaming's busiest release season. In most years, October serves as the annual climax of the release schedule — but not this year. That's because November sees the release of Grand Theft Auto 6 and, for Nintendo fans, the equivalently huge deal that is the Switch 2 remake of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time.

    WoW: Forever’s New Race Doesn't Fit into World of Warcraft At All (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Neutral tone · English

    Read excerpt

    World of Warcraft: Forever is a hit, and it isn't even out yet. Blizzard developers keep humblebragging about how their servers just can't cope with demand for the current beta, and they need to add more capacity. Some of them are, quite understandably, getting emotional about the outpouring of excitement for this reimagining of the classic game.

    The Witcher 3 Remastered Is Officially the Best-Reviewed Game of the Year (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Neutral tone · English

    Read excerpt

    It's 2026. Is an 11-year-old epic RPG really the best new release you can buy? Yes — according to Metacritic, anyway. At the review aggregation site, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt - Remastered sits atop the ranking of all new releases for 2026, with a sky-high 94 Metascore. Now, a few caveats. This score is based on just eight reviews, so it's not the biggest sample size. And those eight reviews are all based on the PC version. Other platforms haven't amassed enough reviews to get official Metascores

    Grand Theft Auto 6 is still the overwhelming favorite to win Game of the Year at The Game Awards in December — and, indeed, at all the other awards ceremonies that will follow it through the early months of 2027.

    Xbox Almost Spoiled the Best Time of Year for Games (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Neutral tone · English

    Read excerpt

    Patch Notes is a weekly newsletter bringing you the best of Polygon, sent on Fridays and published on the site on Sundays. You can subscribe here. For me, this is the most wonderful time of the year to be a video game journalist. I mean, it's actually very busy and stressful. There's no way you can play everything, and you catch yourself wishing you could hit pause on new releases just for a week or two. But I always get a kick out of this part of the fall, because for a six- to eight-week perio
