Although 2026 has already seen the release of some excellent games, with many more on the way, Grand Theft Auto 6 is poised to dominate the gaming year in terms of sales, as the game's double delay did not dampen the excitement surrounding the highly anticipated next entry in the series. The next entry in the popular series is not the only open-world game launching this year, and of them, Pearl Abyss' Crimson Desert could be the Game of the Year if, by any chance, Grand Theft Auto 6 ends up failing, according to a former Rockstar Games animator.

While an official confirmation has yet to be made, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is very likely going to receive a new DLC expansion later this year.
