The BIGGEST Gaming Flops of 2026 (So Far)!

Buy games for Steam, Uplay, and more digitally now at : (ADVERTISEMENT*) It's mid-October, the year is drawing to a close, and 2026 has already produced a plethora of great games! So many, in fact, that many can't keep up. Because 2026 is also the year that has already delivered some truly massive flops—and that has nothing to do with the quality of the games. Gears of War: E-Day, for example, turned out to be a fantastic cover-based shooter. But player numbers on Steam, peaking at 31,000 concurrent players, aren't exactly impressive for such a well-known franchise. Of course, with Game Pass, it's still unclear whether Gears is also a financial flop. Either way: This video is all about these kinds of flops!
