Update []: If you can believe it, February's Game of the Month vote has been... predictable. One game stood out from the rest — no prizes for guessing — and it ended up dominating our public poll.

Yes, Resident Evil Requiem is our official Game of the Month for February 2026.

Again, it wasn't close. The longstanding series' latest instalment has captured the hearts and minds of a sizeable audience; it's already on track to be one of the most commercially successful Resident Evil titles ever, and it's difficult to find that level of success without being a damn good game.

Over 800 votes were cast in our poll, and Requiem claimed more than half of them. And remember, this was a stacked month for new releases, so it's not like there was a lack of competition.

For reference, these were the top five PS5 games of February 2026, according to our readers:

  1. Resident Evil Requiem - 454 votes (56%)
  2. Dragon Quest 7 Reimagined - 126 votes (16%)
  3. Nioh 3 - 78 votes (10%)
  4. Avowed - 33 votes (4%)
  5. Reanimal - 19 votes (2%)

Resident Evil Requiem combines two distinct gameplay styles to great effect, making it feel rather unique even against the backdrop of such a storied franchise.

It also pulls on nostalgic threads an awful lot — but not to any obnoxious degree. In short, it's a fan-pleaser through and through, while also being super satisfying to actually play.

Well, when you're Leon, at least. Grace's chapters substitute the action with some of the most impressive horror Resident Evil's wheeled out in a long time. The best of both worlds!

Congrats, Capcom — and keep up the good work!

Original Story: January might have felt like a bit of a slow start to 2026, but February ended up being the exact opposite.

This was a busy month for new releases, and a good number of them are what we'd deem very high profile. In other words, there's going to be a battle for February's official Game of the Month award.

There was something for just about everyone last month. Dragon Quest 7 Reimagined offered up quality JRPG nostalgia, Nioh 3 brought brutal but addictive open-zone action to the party, and God of War: Sons of Sparta placed a new spin on a classic franchise.

We also had the insanity of Romeo Is a Dead Man, the downright silliness of High on Life 2, and the adventure of former Xbox console exclusive Avowed. That's real variety right there.

And we haven't even mentioned the obvious headline act that was the excellent Resident Evil Requiem. Talk about a strong end to the month!

But before we get into the all-important voting process, let's quickly recap our Game of the Month winners for 2026 so far (and yes, we know there's only one of them at this point):
