Games

We don’t expect that to change this month, as the games coming out in May 2026 are a mixed bag – some are excellent, while others are just okay and might be worth checking out.

Unlike most TV show cancellations, The Big Bang Theory didn’t end because viewers lost interest. CBS actually wanted to renew it, but Jim Parsons decided he was ready to leave, and that convinced everyone it was time to finish the series. Even though it stopped airing in 2019, The Big Bang Theory is still incredibly popular, thanks to constant reruns on TV and streaming services. According to Nielsen data from April 13-19, 2026, the show was the fourth most-watched program on streaming platforms, with a total of 753 million minutes watched.

LEGO released its LEGO version of the N-1 starfighter from The Mandalorian on May 4th. The 1,809-piece set costs $249.99 and is designed for adults and older teens (ages 18+). It includes the ship itself, a buildable display stand, and minifigures of Din Djarin and Grogu. We received this set as part of LEGO’s May the 4th promotion.

A new report from VGC’s Jordan Middler – a source who’s been accurate at times, but not always – suggests something related to the series is in development at PlayStation, but not with Sucker Punch Productions, the studio behind the previous games. Details are scarce, and it’s unclear if this project is a completely new game, a remake, or simply a remastered version. It’s also unknown which PlayStation team is working on it. There’s currently no information about when this might be released, or even which PlayStation console it’s intended for – it could be for the PS5, PS6, or both.

This virtual reality game puts you right into charming fantasy worlds as Quill, a sweet little mouse who’s also a skilled swordfighter.

The next book in the series will be unique – it will focus on a female character, a departure from previous installments. Titled Connie, the novel tells the story of Connie Corleone, Michael Corleone’s sister, as seen in The Godfather films. This book is one of three authorized by the Puzo estate, and it’s notable for being both told from a woman’s perspective and written by a female author.

The comic book series 52 is widely considered a success story, consistently generating online buzz during its release, especially as it ran alongside Marvel’s Civil War. It’s also remembered as the peak for several of DC’s most popular characters, who haven’t quite reached that same level of storytelling since.

With its theatrical run in Japan complete, Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Infinity Castle is preparing for its release on Blu-ray and DVD. The film will be available on home video in Japan starting July 29th, and this is the first of many releases planned for different countries around the world. You can watch a new trailer for Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Infinity Castle below to get a preview.

It’s true that when Marvel Studios brought back key creative figures from the original Infinity Saga, many fans were initially doubtful. Some felt the studio was relying too much on the past instead of focusing on its new heroes. However, the first trailer for Avengers: Doomsday, shown at CinemaCon in 2026, began to change people’s minds. While the trailer had several exciting moments, the biggest reaction came from Chris Evans returning as Captain America and reuniting with Thor.

The three new games added to Xbox Game Pass aren’t staying permanently because they weren’t made by Xbox Game Studios. We don’t know how long they’ll be available on the service, or if they’ll eventually be added to the Premium tier. However, while they are available, Game Pass subscribers can buy each game with a 20% discount.
