Through December 10 the calendar has 19 dates: Modern Warfare 4 and Phantom Blade Zero show two
In Statcade's release file, updated on October 14, 2026, there are 19 games with an exact day between October 21 and December 10. For Modern Warfare 4 and Phantom Blade Zero, the publisher's day and the day recorded by Steam are not the same.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4, in the file, is on October 23, on PC, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5 and Switch 2, publisher Activision: the file follows the day given by the publisher, while the Steam page records the day before. The official Call of Duty blog, on May 28, 2026 and again on October 15, gives the worldwide launch as Friday, October 23, 2026, on the same platforms, and says the game is not coming to PlayStation 4 or Xbox One. Development is led by Infinity Ward; the PC version is handled with Beenox, the Switch 2 version with Digital Legends. In the May 28 post the premise is a war on the Korean peninsula, with a squad of South Korean soldiers and Captain Price. The October 15 post adds that Modern Warfare 4 is a standalone release at launch and does not join Game Pass before the 2027 holidays (“Holiday 2027”). In the same post, in the section aimed at Xbox players, Activision gives early access to the campaign from October 16 and to DMZ from October 20 for the digital version. The text warns that actual timing depends on time zones and possible outages, and that dates may change.
Phantom Blade Zero, in the file, is on October 28, source Steam, on PlayStation 5 and PC, publisher S-GAME Publishing. The game's official website, pbz.s-game.com, gives the release date as October 29, 2026, on the same two platforms. The PlayStation Blog of August 17, 2026, signed by Soulframe Liang, founder and CEO of S-Game, says the release is October 29 and specifies in a note October 28 in the United States and some regions. The Steam date collected in Statcade's file matches that regional note. The day on the publisher's site is the 29th.
For two other titles, the publisher's source and the file give the same day. Football Manager 27: Sports Interactive, in a news post of September 29, 2026, says the game launches globally from November 10. Day one includes Steam, Epic and the Xbox app on PC, including Xbox Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass subscribers; the console version on Xbox and PlayStation 5, including Game Pass subscribers on console; and the mobile version on Netflix. A Launch Preview is planned one or two weeks before the release date, with details still to be announced. Statcade's file has the same date, November 10, and SEGA as publisher. Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War IV: the PLAION press release of August 12, 2026, at 18:00 CEST, announces that KING Art Games is moving the release to December 3, 2026. The Commander Edition starts on November 30, with three days of early access. Platform PC, publisher Deep Silver / PLAION. Jan Theysen, creative director of KING Art Games, said that as the team approached the final stages of development it saw an opportunity to improve Dawn of War IV further and deliver the quality it had envisioned, and that the extra time lets it keep optimising performance, fixing bugs and polishing the game so that players have the best possible experience from day one (paraphrased). In the same release, the year after launch includes free updates, among them the return of the Crusade mode, new maps, modes, commanders and the mission editor, plus two story expansions and a new faction. The dates for that content, in the release, are still to be announced.
On December 3, in the file, alongside Dawn of War IV there are four other games: Edge of Memories (Nacon; PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S), Aeterna Lucis (PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Switch), Dragon Quest Monsters: The Withered World (Square Enix; PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Switch and Switch 2; title as listed in the Italian catalog) and Rayman Legends Retold (Ubisoft; PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, PC, Switch 2). Dawn of War IV is the only one of the five listed as PC only. For anyone releasing on Steam that day, the file shows a shared storefront with multiplatform titles from different publishers. What the file contains is the calendar.
The other dates already set in the file, between October 21 and December 10, are these. October 21: Stupid Never Dies (GPTRACK50; PC and PlayStation 5).
