Video game release dates: every game coming in 2024
Give me video games or give me death
Good lord, we need something to look forward to, eh? Something to take us away from the misery of world events, if just for an hour. Video games. They’ll do it. Video games are our escape, our refuge. Our social space away from the relentlessly awful world we live in. Video games are freedom. Video games are life.
So take a deep breath. Relax your shoulders. Smile. Because the year 2024 is looking like another good one. Here’s every significant video game for PS5, Xbox Series X|S, PC, Switch and a few others that still sit under your TV gathering dust. These games are all set to give you a tingly little thrill of entertainment next year.
Listen up: we’ll update this list every week like the obsessive little weirdos we are. So hit that bookmark thing up in the corner and come back to give yourself something to look forward to in the Twenty Twenty Four.
