The gaming industry is seeing a significant wave of new releases for the week of October 19–23, 2026. Major titles include Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4, which returns to Nintendo consoles via a Switch 2 version developed by Digital Legends, and Final Fantasy Resonance, arriving on PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch platforms.

Other notable upcoming launches include Nintendo Switch Sports Resort for Switch 2, Mycopunk, We Were Here Tomorrow, and Frostpunk for Nintendo Switch. The release schedule spans multiple platforms, including PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2.

In a separate development, the Australian studio House House has announced it will not release its latest game, Big Walk, on Xbox. The studio stated this is a deliberate decision to join the Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions (BDS) movement, citing Microsoft's involvement in the movement's targets.
