This year started with a bang, with a lot of high-profile video games already out in stores. The trend will continue in March, which has fans waiting for highly anticipated titles like Dragon’s Dogma 2, Princess Peach, and Rise of the Ronin. Here are all the biggest games releasing across PC, console, and mobile in March 2024.
The Mobius Machine
The Mobius Machine looks like an interesting Metroidvania set in an interconnected world. Open-world metroidvanias can get complex really fast, and sometimes that can be a good thing. Run, jump, and shoot in The Mobius Machine when it releases on March 1 for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S consoles.
The Outlast Trials
The Outlast franchise is going in a weird direction with this one. After two successful, atmospheric, single-player horror games, The Outlaws Trials is setting its sights on a trend that will disappoint veteran fans - co-op multiplayer. The game has been in early access for over a year now, with positive reviews from people who’ve played it, so here’s hoping it ends up satisfying those fans. The horror game releases on March 5 for PC, PS5 and Xbox Series X|S consoles.
Expeditions: A MudRunner Game
Expeditions will combine off-road driving with sci-fi elements to deliver something new in the genre. The game, developed by Saber Interactive, will let you drive heavy vehicles while deploying a variety of drones and other high-tech equipment to study the environment. The off-road adventure begins on March 5, 2024, for PC on Steam, PS5 and Xbox Series X/S consoles.
Unicorn Overlord
Unicorn Overlord is a tactical RPG from Vanillaware, the makers of 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim. The game has been in development for almost a decade, but it’s just within our reach. Unicorn Overlord takes place on the continent of Fevrith. You play as Alain, a prince of Cornia who must raise the flag of rebellion against Cornia’s General Valmore. The game also features online PvP battles so you can prove your mettle against others. It releases on March 8 for PS4, PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch consoles.
WWE 2K24
This one needs no introduction. 2K24 will be the tenth game in the series by 2K, with Cody Rhodes as the cover star. The game will celebrate 40 years of Wrestlemania, with new match types like Guest Referee, Casket, Gauntlet, and Ambulance. The wrestling game arrives in stores on March 8 for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S.
Contra: Operation Galuga
Konami is bringing back Contra with new additions such as a 4-player co-op in its arcade mode, along with a new visual style. Operation Galuga will include updated graphics, new levels, new sound effects, and an updated weapons system. You can try out a demo of the game to get a feel for the run-and-gun combat. The game releases on March 12 for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch.
Outcast: A New Beginning
The sequel to 1999's classic open-world game has been in the making for a long time, but soon you'll be able to fly the skies of Adelpha. An open-world game with aliens, jet packs, and guns? Count us in. A demo of the game is also currently available letting you experience a bite-sized chunk of the story and the world. Outcast: A New Beginning releases on March 15, 2024 for PC, PS5 and Xbox Series X|S.
Hi-Fi Rush
After weeks of leaks and rumors, Hi-Fi will finally arrive on PS5 consoles this March, which may be a perfect match for it. Playing a rhythm game with a DualSense controller is always immersive, and Hi-Fi Rush's energetic action would lend well to Sony's console. In a year full of excellent releases, Hi-Fi Rush managed to be memorable, and it's now coming to a larger audience. Hi-Fi Rush releases for PS5 on March 19, 2024.
Alone in the Dark
No, not Alone in the Dark from 1992. The new game is a reboot of the franchise, starring Stranger Things' David Harbour and Jodie Comer in lead roles. Players will be exploring the iconic Derceto Manor once again, which has been completely remade this time, and with a third-person over-the-shoulder camera view. Alone in the Dark releases on March 20 for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S.
Call of Duty: Warzone Mobile
Yes, Call of Duty Warzone is still not available on phones. We also thought it was already ported, but somehow Activision's biggest money-maker is still not portable. The mobile port will feature both Verdansk and Rebirth Island, with support for 120 and 48-player matches. Fan favorite modes like TDM, Domination, and Kill Confirmed will be available at launch. Warzone Mobile drops onto the app stores on March 21.
Horizon Forbidden West Complete Edition
Aloy's journey to the West will be available for PC players to experience this month. The Horizon franchise is famous for releasing right before major games that steal its thunder, and the same applies to this PC port when Dragon's Dogma 2 releases just one day after. Well, at least we hope it will have good performance, as Sony's recent PC ports have been doing well. Running this game beyond the graphical capabilities of PS5 is going to produce some gorgeous results. Horizon: Forbidden West releases on PC on March 21, and will include the Burning Shores DLC expansion.
Dragon's Dogma 2
Dragon's Dogma 2 might just scratch the itch left by Elden Ring. The long-anticipated sequel will take place in an alternate universe, so don't worry if you haven't played the first game. DD2 will feature new vocations to master, and let you choose a personality for your pawn. We can't wait to face off against enemies like Talos and the Sphinx when it releases on March 22 for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S.
Princess Peach: Showtime!
They say opposites attract, which is probably why they decided to release both Princess Peach: Showtime! and Dragon's Dogma 2 on the same day. Peach has a massive fan base already, including Brie Larson, so we don't really need to tell you why it's on this list, do we? In her first stand-alone game in what feels like forever, players will control multiple versions of Peach as she gains new abilities and avatars across different levels. Princess Peach: Showtime! releases on Nintendo Switch on March 22.
Rise of the Ronin
If you liked Ghost of Tsushima and are a fan of Team Ninja's games, then you should be excited for Rise of the Ronin. The game, set in the Late Edo period of Japan, takes the combat mechanics of Team Ninja's games and lets you play with it in an open world. While it will have an intriguing story for you to follow, you'll also be able to join your friends in its PvE missions. Rise of the Ronin releases on March 28 exclusively on PS5.
South Park: Snow Day!
South Park games are always a welcome addition, but this one might benefit from a delay. No, not because it looks buggy or something. It’s because it features Eric, Stan, Kenny, and Kyle engaging in snowball fights, and it’s releasing in March. Okay, maybe it’ll be relaxing on a hot summer day, we’ll just have to wait and see. It’s also the first game in the series to feature online co-op, so that’s something to look forward to. South Park: Snow Day! releases on March 26 for PC, PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch.
Open Roads
Wow, that's a lot of games releasing in March. How about finishing the month with a relaxing experience? Open Roads is an interactive thriller with classic road trip vibes. Not our words, that's how the developer describes it. The first-person adventure will let you immerse yourself in Tess Devine's road trip with her mother as she uncovers new secrets of abandoned properties. Annapurna Interactive has used the power of its film division to gather a star cast, including Keri Russel and Kaitlyn Dever. It releases on March 28 for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox Series X|S and Nintendo Switch.

Notre Dame HC Marcus Freeman has message for Chris Ash after Purdue game
The defense has been the story of No. 24 Notre Dame through the first three games of the season. First-year defensive coordinator Chris Ash has struggled to pick up where Al Golden left the unit when he bolted for the Cincinnati Bengals after the national championship game. On Saturday, the Irish defense gave up 23 points to Purdue in the first half before Notre Dame ran away in the second half to win their first game of the season 56-30 in front of 77,622 fans at Notre Dame Stadium. Following the contest, Irish head coach Marcus Freeman told the media that Ash needed to do a better job of matching pressure with his coverage scheme. "Marcus Freeman says Notre Dame needs to do a better job of 'marrying up' coverage with pressure from the defensive front," wrote Tyler Horka of On3 Sports. Notre Dame was panicking on defense Freeman added that the defense was panicking when they changed coverage schemes, but couldn't stop Purdue in the first half. Boilermakers quarterback Ryan Browne diced up the zone coverage, much like Marcel Reed did in Texas A M's 41-40 win over the Irish in Week 2. Freeman defended Ash after the loss to the Aggies, saying the defense's execution was more important than the play calling. The head coach had the same message for his players after beating Purdue. "I don't think they're confused," Freeman said of the defense. "We just aren't executing. But it isn't like our guys don't know what they're doing. They know what they're doing." Freshman quarterback CJ Carr and the offense look capable of going undefeated for the rest of the regular season and competing for a spot in the College Football Playoff. But the defense is going to have to get better if they want to play meaningful football in December-January. Notre Dame's defense was a problem in Week 1 in Miami. Even though the Hurricanes were held to 27 points, Miami could have put up more points if quarterback Carson Beck had been allowed to play as aggressively in the fourth quarter as he had earlier in the game. When Ash calls zone, he's going to have to find a way to generate a pass-rush. All three quarterbacks Notre Dame has faced this season have shown an ability to find open spots in the secondary when they have time to throw in the pocket.
Exciting Jordan Addison Development Occurs Ahead of Vikings-Steelers
The Minnesota Vikings are fourth-worst in the NFL with 503 passing yards through three weeks, but they've been compromised. Wide receiver Jordan Addison was suspended for the first three games for violating the NFL's Substances of Abuse Policy. The 23-year-old was arrested on suspicion of DUI near Los Angeles International Airport in July 2024 and pleaded no contest to a "wet reckless" charge this past July, which is a misdemeanor offense. The Vikings drafted Addison No. 23 overall out of USC in 2023, and he was productive in his first two seasons. The 5-foot-11-inch, 175-pounder has career totals of 1,786 receiving yards on 133 catches with 19 touchdowns over 32 games. Addison is now done with his suspension, via NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. "Suspensions are over for 49ers wide receiver Demarcus Robinson and Vikings WR Jordan Addison, who both served three games and are now back with their teams," he reported on Monday. Minnesota will now have its No. 2 receiver back moving forward. Superstar wideout Justin Jefferson leads the team with 12 catches and 200 yards, while the next receiving leader is fellow wideout Josh Nailor with 96 yards. Tight end T.J. Hockenson also has nine receptions for 76 yards. Addison has a better track record than Nailor, who has never topped 414 yards in a season since entering the league in 2022. On the other hand, Hockenson notched 95 catches, 960 yards, and five touchdowns in 2023, but he's a safety blanket underneath and over the middle. Addison can help take the top off of the defense alongside Jefferson, which should open up the Vikings' offense. Vikings Positioned for Success Against Steelers Not only is Minnesota getting Addison back for this Sunday's bout with the Pittsburgh Steelers, but it'll face a defense that ranks 23rd in the NFL with 25.7 points allowed per game. The Steelers did hold the New England Patriots' offense to 14 points in last Sunday's win, but they coughed up 32 points to the New York Jets in Week 1 and 31 to the Seattle Seahawks in Week 2. Vikings quarterback J.J. McCarthy (ankle) is out, but veteran backup Carson Wentz showed he can still play in Sunday's 48-10 trouncing of the Cincinnati Bengals, completing 14 of 20 passes for 173 yards and two touchdowns. They're now 2-1 ahead of their Week 4 matchup with the Steelers in Dublin, Ireland, and could go 3-1 if Addison picks up where he left off.
Rangers forward in a fight for his future amid new competition
The New York Rangers are preparing to start a transitional season, following the arrival of new head coach Mike Sullivan and some important adjustments to the squad. Among the players facing a decisive season is Brennan Othmann, a left winger who was selected in the first round of the 2021 NHL draft. Othmann, 22, is entering his third and final year of his contract with the Rangers, but his expiring deal is not the only reason why he will have to prove himself this season. The Canadian has had difficulties meeting the high expectations around him and although he may no longer have time to establish himself as a top-six forward, this is the best time to establish himself in a lower role. Othmann's clock is ticking as competition for roster spot grows Last season, he only recorded two assists in 22 games with the Rangers, but tallied 12 goals and eight assists in 27 games with the AHL Hartford Wolf Pack. In any case, now Othmann is facing heavier competition within the squad. Both Gabe Perreault and Carey Terrance have left good impressions during preseason camps, and with both having multiple years left on their contracts, the possibility that Othmann's days on the team are numbered increases. That said, the New York team needs depth, especially in the bottom-six, and Othmann must react and respond. He has the necessary grit and physicality, and if he manages to establish himself there, he could become a solid player within the bottom lineups.
Rival Teams 'Upset' With Dodgers Due to Shohei Ohtani Rule
However the Dodgers decide to use star pitcher/designated hitter Shohei Ohtani in the postseason, the generational talent gives LA a massive advantage. Because of a unique rule that applies only to players as unique as Ohtani, the Dodgers could turn their superstar into an even bigger advantage. Every team in MLB is limited to a maximum playoff roster of 26 players, with no more than 13 spots reserved for pitchers. Ohtani will be able to enter the postseason as a designated hitter and will not take up one of the 13 spots as a pitcher despite the Dodgers planning on utilizing Ohtani as a starting pitcher. "Teams are upset that the Dodgers will have one more pitcher than everyone else on their roster since there’s a special exemption for Shohei Ohtani as a two-way player," USA Today's Bob Nightengale wrote. "If Ohtani is a starting pitcher, he can remain in the game as a DH once he’s replaced on the mound. But if he starts the game as a DH and pitches out of the bullpen, the Dodgers would lose the DH once his relief appearance is over. The only way Ohtani could stay in the game would be moving to the outfield, where he hasn’t played since 2021." Ohtani has expressed his willingness to play in the outfield if it means giving the Dodgers a roster advantage in the postseason. However, it is likely, according to Dodgers manager Dave Roberts, that Ohtani will not be making a surprise appearance in the outfield. One factor that will be at play with Ohtani's ability to contrtibute as a starting pitcher will be his longevity. After recovering from a torn UCL in the 2023 season and serving as a designated hitter exclusively in 2024, Ohtani returned to the mound in 2025. While Ohtani has performed well with a 3.29 ERA and a 1.07 WHIP, he hasn't pitched more than five innings in a single start. Ohtani's limited use is a strategy by the Dodgers to save their superstar's arm for the big moments that are offered in October. Ohtani has one more scheduled start for the regular season when the Dodgers travel to Arizona to face the Diamondbacks on Tuesday night. Latest Dodgers News
