Video Game Release Dates: The Biggest Games of April 2024 and Beyond

It's officially April 2024, a month that's uncharacteristically slow in terms of huge game releases -- at least compared to the previous months this year. I mean, we've already seen mega-releases like Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, Persona 3 Reload, Rise of the Ronin, and more. April is no slouch, though, with new releases like Sand Land and Stellar Blade. Below, you'll find release dates for all the biggest games that have been announced so far for this year and beyond. Whether you have a PS5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, and/or PC, you can find something worth playing in April 2024.

The following list is divided by platform; you can jump to any one using the shortcuts below. And if you're someone who likes to preorder, you can click the buy link to make sure it arrives on launch day.
