Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4

Activision's next Call of Duty is the most-wishlisted upcoming game on Steam right now, with Infinity Ward and seven other studios credited on the store page. The campaign takes place during a Korean conflict and follows Captain Price on the run, and Polygon's review rates it "legitimately a top-5 Call of Duty campaign."

Final Fantasy Resonance

This RPG launches the same day as Modern Warfare 4 and is the third most-wishlisted game in this week's group.

Stupid Never Dies

Reviews are split on this roguelite from Japanese developer GPTRACK50. Push Square praises its scribbled art style and unhinged story and says it "stands out in a stacked genre." Polygon calls it "easily the worst game of 2026," pointing to sluggish action across a 30-hour runtime. Read both before you buy.

Early Access and more

Two of this week's launches are Early Access releases, which means they're still in development and will change over time:

• Escape from Playtime is the second most-wishlisted game in the group.
• The Dead We Knew is an open-world survival game.

We Were Here Tomorrow is out today and is listed as free to play on Steam.

Release dates come from Steam store listings and can change. Check a game's store page before launch day.
