There's another free-to-play action RPG very much on the horizon. Will this be the one to win you over?

Maxis has offered some fresh details on its long-running mission to improve player quality of life in The Sims 4. As the The Sims 4 continues into its second decade, the volume of new content, major expansions, and long-awaited features has grown in lockstep. Unfortunately, that has also meant that, given how old the game is, a few technical problems remain a nuisance.
Nioh 3 has taken the Nioh franchise to new heights, delivering its biggest-ever launch. Even before the game came out, it was pretty easy to guess that Nioh 3 would be a hit. From the word of mouth leading up to launch, to the well-received free demo, there was little chance the action RPG wasn’t going to be a major deal.

One of the more insidiously aggravating bugs in Nioh 3 makes it so the game ignores you when you try to use elixirs, but hopefully not for long.

Patch 1.03.01 arrived earlier on all platforms, and it comes with a chunky set of notes.

People seemingly haven't been able to stop playing Nioh 3 since the moment it came out, and everyone helped push the numbers to unprecedented heights for the series. Nioh 3 has had a massive weekend on Steam, the type of launch you just don’t often see for Koei Tecmo games. Indeed, this has very clearly been a monumentous release for both the publisher, and developer Team Ninja.
Heartopia’s My Little Pony collaboration is close, and the pre-launch event has already kicked off. Heartopia has officially shared initial details about its first-ever collaboration event. The game, which launched a month ago to great success on mobile, as well as Steam on PC, has already been a staple among fans of Animal Crossing and The Sims.

Just a few hours after launch, Nioh 3 is already the biggest release in series history on Steam. It sounds like Koei Tecmo’s decision to finally release a Nioh game on PC day-and-date with PlayStation has paid off. The highly-anticipated Nioh 3 has gone live across both platforms, a first for a series that typically spends its initial release months as a console exclusive.
Nioh 3 makes good on years of experimenting and refinement in the extended Nioh family of games, delivering an indelible evolution, and the series’ most accessible entry, yet. The moment Nioh 3 was revealed as Team Ninja’s next project, it immediately jumped to the top of my most anticipated games of 2026. That excitement was dampened somewhat when the studio revealed the game’s “open field” level design. I am very much over open-world games, but I was particularly worried that we were about to get the Nioh version of Rise of the Ronin - which, really, was itself Nioh-lite in an open world.
Starsand Island officially has an Early Access release date, and it sounds like it won't stay there for years. Though it may seem like we just had a big life sim release in Heartopia, 2026 actually has more than one highly-anticipated release in that particular subgenre of cozy game. The next big one on the horizon is Starsand Island, the life and farming sim from Seed Sparkle Lab.
