Crimson Desert (March 2026) | Push Square

Anyway, what matters right now is that Crimson Desert is our PS5 Game of the Month for March 2026. Congrats Kliff, you can tick yet another quest off your list!

Original Story: As is usually the case every year, March was a super busy month for new game releases. The PS5’s schedule was pretty much packed from beginning to end, and there were some very heavy hitters in the mix.

One of 2026’s most anticipated titles stole most of the headlines last month. We are, of course, referring to Crimson Desert, which has proven to be a massively popular open world outing. You’d be mad to think that it’s not the frontrunner for this Game of the Month award.

But we’ve also got to mention Marathon, which offered a completely different proposition to Pearl Abyss’ fantasy life sim. Bungie’s hardcore, technical shooter hasn’t done insane numbers, but it seems to be utterly beloved by those who’ve got stuck in.

Other March highlights included the largely fantastic Monster Hunter Stories 3: Twisted Reflection, which we think is the best entry in Capcom’s turn-based RPG series yet.

Then there’s Screamer, a flashy arcade racer with a fairly unique emphasis on story and characters, and South of Midnight, the former Xbox console exclusive that’s just a delight to behold.

That’s some impressive variety, isn’t it?

But before we dive into the actual vote, let’s quickly recap all of our Game of the Month winners for 2026 so far:
