While many people stare at their gaming backlot, they’re also glaring at the ever-growing list of new games coming out in 2022. Being able to dive into new worlds and try out new mechanics will also draw people towards beloved and new IPs. These 10 games will keep people occupied for hours on end this year.

Skateboarding title OlliOlli World will take players to a colorful world filled to the brim with skating action. This title introduces branching paths, which can inspire some new combo lines, and quarter pipes to the mix.

Gran Turismo 7

WWE 2K22
March 2022
Platforms: PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, PC

The new title will bring back the highly requested GM Mode, which hasn’t been seen in the series since SmackDown vs. Raw 2008. The one thing that can break the game, however, is its roster, which has probably been wrecked with the unfortunate real-life releases conducted by one Vince McMahon.
