Final Fantasy XVI, Street Fighter 6, Diablo IV, and More: New Games on PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, Xbox Series S/X in June

gadgets.ndtv.com:

We are now a week deep into June and some of the month's biggest games are already out of the gates. It's going to be a busy month for gaming, with some big reveals expected at several scheduled industry showcase events. The Summer Game Fest kicks off on June 8, while the Xbox Games Showcase is slated for June 11. And while there's a lot to be excited for what's in the works, there's plenty to look forward to for what's almost here. June's heavy hitters include the much-awaited Final Fantasy XVI, which includes real-time action-based combat for the first time in the series. Final Fantasy had up till now held on to its turn-based traditions. While that might split the series' legion of loyal fans, Final Fantasy XVI still retains its deep lore, recurring characters, and epic scale. The game arrives June 22 as a timed exclusive on PS5.

Diablo IV, which is out now on all major platforms, has a lot to live up to, as well. The Diablo series has inspired countless quality dungeon-crawler RPGs over the years, but perhaps it has lost its way a bit. With Diablo III feeling like a departure in tone and tenor from series roots, and Diablo Immortal leaving a bad taste in the mouth with its focus on microtransactions, the fourth main entry in the franchise has its work cut out.

It seems the theme for June is sequels. Street Fighter 6 is back, too, with its roster of famous fighters and a brand new story-focused World Tour mode. F1 23 is out this month, as well, to serve as a handy companion to the ongoing Formula One world championship. But that's not all — here are our picks for the eight biggest games coming to PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series S/X, and Nintendo Switch in June 2023.

When: June 2Where: PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox Series S/X
