Here are the top video game releases for the coming week (March 16–22, 2026). This is drawn from up-to-date calendars on IGN, GameSpot, Wikipedia, and other major sites—it's a busy stretch with action shooters, a major RPG, a sports sim, and a big narrative PC port.
Many smaller indies, cozy titles, and ports are also dropping daily (e.g., Dread Delusion on March 17 or Shadow Tactics on March 18), but these stand out as the most anticipated and widely covered.
March 16
Starship Troopers: Ultimate Bug War! (PC, PS5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2)
A fast-paced retro FPS packed with chaotic bug-slaying action, gore, and movie-faithful vibes from the Boltgun developers.
It even has playable bug modes and a demo available now—huge for old-school shooter fans.
The Seven Deadly Sins: Origin (PC, PS5)
Open-world action RPG based on the hit anime/manga, with dynamic combat and exploration.
March 17
MLB The Show 26 (PS5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch)
The annual baseball simulator returns with updated rosters, modes, and gameplay tweaks.
Deluxe editions had early access, but the full launch hits this week—must-play for sports fans.
March 19 (the biggest day this week)
Crimson Desert (PC, PS5, Xbox Series X|S) One of March's headliners: a stunning open-world action RPG from Pearl Abyss (Black Desert studio) featuring fluid combat, massive battles, and a fantasy world. Previews are calling it a riot.
Death Stranding 2: On the Beach (PC)
Hideo Kojima's narrative-driven sequel arrives on PC with improved performance, ultrawide support, and all the weird traversal/story elements.
(Consoles got it earlier.)
The Steam Spring Sale also starts around March 19–26, so expect deals on older games alongside these launches.
Dates are consistent across sources right now, but always double-check your platform store or official sites for exact times, patches, or last-minute changes.
Reviews and gameplay will start rolling in as they drop.
