WWE 2K26 is a brilliant wrestling game where it counts, but it can sting when rewards feel so centered on monetization over skill.

EA Sports FC 26 serves up all the teams, all the kits, all the players – and all the goals, all the time.

Madden 26's presentation and franchise improvements are authentic, fantastic, and worth a sustained play.

Our best sports game of last year remains the one to beat in 2025, too. College Football 26 is the most detailed, authentic, and fun sim on consoles right now, and will keep you playing – and recruiting! – right through to next summer.

Rematch sees French studio Sloclap’s first foray into sports mesh elements of Rocket League and classic Be A Pro modes, to form a lighthearted football experience with a bright future. Mais oui.

A truly wonderful wrestling experience, hampered by the determination to drive fans into parting with even more cash. Maybe that's just the way sports sims are now – but it's still a huge shame.

FC 25's gameplay familiarity may trigger initial disappointment, but career mode tweaks and the brilliant Rush mode soon pull you back in for another year. Ultimate Team, meanwhile, remains divisive as ever – but fans of that mode will love its myriad fan-service additions.

An improved year for the big dog of Gridiron games – but unless you have to play as a pro, there's simply no reason to choose this over College Football 25.

The best American football game in a decade, with a career mode which will take over your life – along with fabulous levels of college pageantry and authenticity.

The most accomplished wrestling game of the last decade – only held back by gnawing MyFaction concerns. A shame.

Enjoyable in almost every department, WWE 2K23 serves up joy for wrestling fans young and old, dedicated or casual.

EA and FIFA part company with a game packing fresh content both on and off the park – but FIFA 23 is ultimately hamstrung by a pair of longstanding frustrations

A stellar first WWE outing on PS5 and XBox Series X, but legacy flaws hold it back from true greatness.

eFootball 2022 marks a disastrous start to the post-PES era. The only consolation? It surely can’t get any worse from here.
