A new year, a new official Push Square<\/a> Game of the Month campaign in which you \u2014 yes, you! \u2014 will help us decide the standout games of 2026. There are (hopefully) exciting times ahead…<\/p>\n

So, let’s get things started with January, which was, in all fairness, a somewhat quiet opening month. Still, a handful of highly rated titles dropped on PS5, and we need you to vote for your pick of the bunch.<\/p>\n

Trails beyond the Horizon<\/a> got us rolling \u2014 a long-awaited JRPG and the latest instalment in Falcom’s massive series. By all accounts (including our own) it’s an especially strong entry in the current saga.<\/p>\n

Then 2XKO<\/a> made its way to consoles, providing a high quality fighter that’s totally free-to-play. It was followed by another free-to-play title in Arknights: Endfield<\/a> \u2014 a gacha RPG that seems to have gone down rather well with fans of the genre.<\/p>\n

Highguard’s<\/a> worth mentioning as well, despite ongoing concerns over its staying power, while Cairn<\/a> offered something entirely different, with its tactical approach to mountain climbing. A rare meditative, but still challenging game.<\/p>\n

And we rounded January off with Code Vein 2<\/a>. Granted, we didn’t really gel with this Soulslike sequel, but we’re sure plenty of you reading this will have been enjoying its bloody anime action.<\/p>\n

What was your Game of the Month for January 2026, then? Cast your vote in our poll, and then explain your choice to the best of your abilities in the comments section below.<\/p>\n

Voting closes on Monday the 9th February 2026, at 00:00 GMT.<\/p>\n
