The gaming calendar is always packed. But June 26? It’s absolute madness. Studios, devs, platforms, everyone decided this would be the day to flood your backlog. We've got updates, sequels and even freebies. And we’ve got existential crisis-level decisions: Cyberpunk 2077 Patch 2.3 or Death Stranding 2? Eevee or explosions? Serious mech strategy or bizarre object dating? Spoiler: You can’t play them all. But good luck trying. Oh, and June 26 isn’t even a Tuesday or Friday. It’s a random Thursday. Why? Who knows. But that didn’t stop the industry from turning it into a traffic jam of digital chaos. If your backlog isn’t already bursting, it’s about to pop. The Power Pack: What’s Dropping June 26 Let’s start with the heavy hitters. Brace yourself: Death Stranding 2: On the Beach – Kojima’s back with post-apocalyptic delivery, trauma, and a PS5 exclusive. Front Mission 3: Remake – Tactical mech nostalgia gets a fresh coat of HD. Persona 5: The Phantom X – Mobile Phantom Thieves hijack your screen. System Shock 2: 25th Anniversary Remaster – The cult horror classic refuses to die. Ruffy and the Riverside – A wild platformer where you literally copy-paste textures to reshape reality. Cyberpunk 2077 Update 2.3: A Mystery Gift in a Gunmetal Box CD Projekt Red drops Patch 2.3. What’s inside? Nobody knows. But the hype? Sky-high. Update 2.2 was a crowd-pleaser. This one feels like opening a weirdly wrapped gift from a cool aunt: confusing but somehow amazing. Expect surprise, chaos, and maybe expect a new reason to sink another 100 hours into Night City.
