Standout Additions and Console Debuts
Originally released on PC in 2025, The Séance of Blake Manor is a supernatural detective mystery set in a remote region of Ireland in 1879. Players step into the role of an investigator searching for a missing young woman while possessing the ability to perceive more than ordinary people, for better and worse.
Eurogamer writer Matt Wales previously called the adventure “fantastically atmospheric” and “incredibly tense” in 2025. The publication also ranked The Séance of Blake Manor as its 19th favorite game of 2025 in its annual list.
Mouthwashing is a first-person horror title featuring a retro PS1-style aesthetic and a non-linear narrative set aboard a spacecraft. In Eurogamer's review, writer Katherine noted: “Mouthwashing is a wildly inventive horror game that plays with the boundaries of time and space to exhilarating effect, and all with a gleeful glint in its large and unblinking eyeball.”
Rounding out the headliners is Final Fantasy 7 Remake Intergrade, an enhanced version of the opening entry in the Remake trilogy. First launched in 2021, the game arrived on Xbox and Switch earlier in 2026; Eurogamer's Alex Donaldson argued that the title stays excellent despite beginning to show its age.
