Vote for Your PS5 Game of the Month: March 2026

March was an exceptionally busy month for video game releases on the PlayStation 5, with numerous highly anticipated titles enhancing the gaming landscape. Among these, “Crimson Desert” emerged as a standout, generating significant attention as a popular open-world game, widely regarded as a strong contender for the Game of the Month accolade.

In addition, “Marathon,” developed by Bungie, presented a contrasting experience. This technical shooter has not achieved remarkable sales figures but has garnered a dedicated fanbase who appreciate its challenging gameplay.

Other noteworthy releases included “Monster Hunter Stories 3: Twisted Reflection,” praised for being the strongest entry in Capcom’s turn-based RPG series to date. The month also featured “Screamer,” an exhilarating arcade racing game distinguished by its unique focus on narrative and character development, alongside “South of Midnight,” a visually captivating title that was previously exclusive to Xbox.

The variety of genres and gameplay styles available in March demonstrates a robust selection for gamers. As community engagement is integral to acknowledging a standout title, readers are invited to participate in a poll to select their favourite PS5 game from March.

Voting will conclude on Monday, 6 April 2026, at 00:00 BST. The results will be instrumental in determining which game will share the spotlight with the previous winners of the Game of the Month for 2026.
