12 Games That Will Push PS5, Xbox to the Limit in 2026 - Next-Gen Console Watch

from Next-Gen Console Watch · host IGN & Geek Media

Welcome back to Next-Gen Console Watch. This week we take a look at 12 games we think will push the current generation of consoles to their limits. Games like Marvel's Wolverine, Control: Resonant, Resident Evil: Requiem, Gears of War: E-Day, and more are going to be amazing showcases for what the PlayStation 5 (and PS5 Pro) and the Xbox Series X (and the underpowered but still capable Series S) can really do, considering we should be entering the back half of this generation's life cycle. Plus we have last week's poll results and a new poll for you to vote on at IGN.com. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
