Video game release dates 2022: PC, Xbox Series X/S, PS5, Xbox One, PS4, and Switch

2022 is over, and what a year it has been. We all know by now that 2022 was the year of delays. So many games got pushed back, in fact, that we’d get the news on a weekly basis.

Thanks to a bit of a lack of big AAA releases, 2022 will be mostly be remembered as a quiet year that allowed us time to focus on many smaller games (and for being the year Elden Ring came out). That’s not to say it was completely devoid of major titles, however. The few of those that didn’t get pushed back kept us plenty entertained.

As you’ve come to expect, we’ve rounded up all the release dates we managed to track in the entirety of 2022 in this list. You’ll find PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, Switch and a few mobile games here.

If you’re more interested in looking forward to the year(s) ahead, you’ll find the 2023 video game release dates list at the link here.
