14 DAY TRIAL // We’re almost half-way through the year and most of the big triple A games have been delayed. We still have God of War Ragnarok (hopefully), but Starfield and Redout have been pushed back by several months, so they are not set for release in 2023.
That being said, June 2022 is mostly about game reveals rather than game releases. With E3 canceled again it’s once again Geoff Keighley’s task to keep us entertained this summer. This year the Summer Game Fest starts on June 9, but PlayStation and Microsoft/Bethesda have their own shows too on June 2 and June 12, respectively.
However, if you’re just interested in playing games rather than learning about new ones, here is what you can expect from June in terms of game releases. Before we deep-dive into the juicy part, it’s worth mentioning that many of the games that will appear below are in fact re-releases of older titles, so if you haven’t played them yet for whatever reason, now would be a good time to pick them up.
The first games set to be released in June are expected to come out in the first day of the month. LEAP is a brand-new Steam Early Access title, while The Big Con is scheduled for release on Nintendo Switch on June 1. A third title is expected to arrive on all platforms (PC, PlayStation, Xbox, and Nintendo Switch) on June 1, Silt.
The second batch of games to be released on June 2 include titles like Gigapocalypse (PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch), Card Shark (PC, Nintendo Switch), and The Last Clockwinder, which is a VR title coming to Quest 2 and SteamVR. If you hate playing mobile games, you can still play Diablo Immortal PC starting June 2.
