Players’ choice: vote for the best new game of March 2026
March 2026 saw the release of several major video games, and players can now vote for their favorite. The PlayStation Blog hosts a monthly poll where gamers decide the best new game of the month.
The month of March 2026 was marked by the release of several exciting video games, featuring expansive open worlds, intense extraction missions, and competitive rivals. Among the standout titles that debuted last month were ‘Marathon,’ ‘Crimson Desert,’ ‘MLB The Show 26,’ and ‘Scott Pilgrim EX.’ Gamers are now invited to cast their votes for their favorite new release.
Each month, the PlayStation Blog offers players the opportunity to participate in a poll to determine the best new game released during that period. Once voting concludes, the results are compiled, and the winning game is announced through PlayStation’s social media channels and the PlayStation Blog itself.
As for the voting criteria, it is entirely subjective and up to each individual voter. Participants are encouraged to consider which game they would most recommend to a friend if they could choose only one. It’s important to note that while remakes are eligible for the poll, re-releases are not. Remakes are defined as significant, large-scale reconstructions of existing games, similar to ‘Resident Evil 4’ (2023) and ‘Final Fantasy VII Remake.’
The nominees featured in the poll are carefully selected by the PlayStation Blog’s editorial team, who compile a list of the month’s most notable game releases. This curated list serves as the basis for the voting process.
Players eager to have their voices heard and to support their favorite games are encouraged to participate in the poll and contribute to the selection of March 2026’s top new game.
