Every June 2023 Video Game Release Date (All Games Out This Month)

Traditionally, Summer sees a bit of a drought for the gaming industry, but this is certainly not the case this year with a huge amount of video games releasing throughout June 2023, including new mainline entries for Final Fantasy, Street Fighter, and Diablo. Among the many games releasing in June 2023, those major franchises will be making a return alongside a vast range of titles spanning a variety of genres on all platforms.

On top of the brand-new entries and content in long-established franchises, June will continue with this nostalgia with the Sonic Origins Plus bundle, which will bring all Sonic the Hedgehog’s Game Gear entries to modern consoles, adding 12 new titles to the collection on top of the four titles seen in last year’s Sonic Origins. In addition to the release of full titles, several large expansions and seasons for titles such as The Elder Scrolls Online and Overwatch 2 will be released in June.
