These games are filled with action and adventure and can easily fill time. Prepare for memorable stories and flashy gameplay. These Blockbuster games will blow you away and make your day!

This list is in order of release date.

1. Star Wars Jedi Survivor

Respawn Entertainment hit it out of the park with the first “Jedi Fallen Order.” Now the company expects to bring more excitement to their customers with their sequel “Jedi Survivor.” In the game, players are introduced as Cal Kestis, a Jedi that survived Order 66 and is trying to help a Galaxy that’s under the control of the Evil Empire.

With more ways to approach combat, more maps to explore, and over 100 more gigabytes of gameplay then the first game, this game is not messing around. This canon Star Wars story came out on April 28, 2023 and is playable on Xbox series X and S, PlayStation 5, and PC.

2. Redfall

Redfall is a new gaming IP that brings a fun twist to the FPS genre. Players are trapped in the fictional town of Redfall, Massachusetts after a Vampire outbreak. Players compete as one of four heroes. The goal is to kill the vampires and their lackeys.

Play solo or team up with your friends to kill the vampire gods and free Redfall from their evil cultures. Use guns, gadgets, and even mystic powers to stop the forces of evil! Redfall will be released on May 2, 2023 and is an Xbox and PC exclusive.

3. Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom

Arguably one of the biggest games releasing this year, “Legend of Zelda” returns after a six-year break with a new title, “Tears of the Kingdom.” Play as Link in this new version of the beloved Zelda map and learn new skills to take you to the sky.

With Ganondorf rising from the dead and an ancient evil spreading through the land, will Link be able to stop them and save Zelda again? Find out when this highly anticipated title drops May 12, 2023, exclusively on Nintendo Switch.
