Welcome to 2023, everyone! This is poised to be one of the biggest years ever in terms of the quality and volume of games, both big and small. We’re not even afraid to call it a good one early, because many of our most anticipated games are slated for the first half of the year alone.

To think what other wonders await us in the summer, fall and beyond! But we don’t need to imagine, friends, because we’ve rounded up every single video game release date we know of in this very list.

As we’ve been doing for years now, we’ll update this list almost daily. You’ll find your favourite PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, Switch – and a few iOS and Android games here.

As always, things will start out small and with more vague release targets, but get fleshed out and organised as the year goes on and release dates solidify. For the 2022 video game release dates, hit the link.

March 2023 video game release dates

Leon inspects a knife in the Resident Evil 4 remake. — No longer a rookie cop, Resident Evil 4's Leon means business.
