Overview

The video game industry experienced various commercial activities through September and October 2026, spanning major publisher releases, indie developments, and platform sales.

In mid-September, the Steam platform featured significant discounts on several major titles, including Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade and Far Cry 6. This period also saw activity in the indie sector with the open beta of the survival horror FPS Derelikt and the early access launch of the MMORPG Monsters & Memories.

Notable launches included Sega’s ‘Total War: Shogun 2 Complete Edition’, Bandai Namco’s ‘Tales of Eternia Remaster’, and Frontier Developments’ ‘Planet Zoo 2’.
