Video Game Franchises

TOP Game Series In One Place

We've selected nearly 40 of the top video game franchises. Find your favourite titles and check out the latest instalments from your favourite series. And if you're just starting out, have a look through them all, and maybe one of them will become a friend for life.

Legendary Franchises

The most played genres include action, RPG, FPS and sports games, with racing titles not too far behind. Each of these genres has at least one legendary game series with a name that is instantly recognisable in the world of gaming. Here are the highlights:

• GTA brings a mix of Action and FPS in an adrenaline-fuelled open-world environment, Call of Duty is a joy for FPS purists, while Assassin's Creed appeals to fans of adventure games.
• From the diverse realm of RPG games, you probably know World of Warcraft, The Witcher and Dark Souls.
• Sports games are ruled by the football game, FIFA. With an eagerly anticipated version released each year, this year's FIFA 22 is winning plaudits from all.
• If you are into racing, check out Gran Turismo and Need for Speed.

Don't Forget the Classics

The titles mentioned above are primarily modern behemoths, but we should make sure to pay homage to the trailblazing pioneers that helped create today's diverse market. The foundations of the RPG genre were laid by the Final Fantasy franchise, the hack-and-slash Diablo and post-apocalyptic Fallout. The most successful old-school action game series is arguably Tomb Raider, featuring everyone's favourite archaeologist, Lara Croft.

Take a trip through the history of gaming with platformers like Super Mario or Crash Bandicoot.
