With September underway, we're opening the floor to readers: what are you playing this month?
Whether you're diving into a newly released title, revisiting a classic, or exploring a recent compilation, we want to know which games are occupying your time on Nintendo Switch, PC, PlayStation, Xbox, or handhelds.
Rewritten reader prompt (journalistic): With the new month here, tell us what you've been playing — be it a new third‑party exclusive, a recent remaster, or long‑running favorites such as Capcom's Onimusha series, FromSoftware's Elden Ring, or Konami's Metal Gear Solid compilations.
Why this matters: September is a transitional month on the gaming calendar, often carrying post-summer releases, seasonal updates, and renewed interest in back catalog titles available through digital storefronts like Nintendo's eShop.
Nintendo's own showcases — Nintendo Direct presentations — can also influence what players pick up, whether through surprise announcements or release-date confirmations.
Notable factual context:
- Elden Ring: Developed by FromSoftware and published by Bandai Namco Entertainment, Elden Ring launched on February 25, 2022.
The game received widespread critical acclaim and won multiple Game of the Year awards across outlets and ceremonies.
- Onimusha: The Onimusha franchise is a long‑running action series from Capcom that originated in the early 2000s and has seen remasters and renewed interest in recent years as Capcom explores its back catalog.
- Metal Gear Solid: The Metal Gear franchise was created by Hideo Kojima and is published by Konami.
Konami has released Master Collection compilations that gather entries from the series for modern platforms.
- Nintendo platforms: The Nintendo Switch family launched on March 3, 2017.
Nintendo continues to distribute first‑ and third‑party titles via the Nintendo eShop and to communicate release plans and updates through Nintendo Direct broadcasts.
Tell us in the comments: Are you tackling Elden Ring's open world, replaying classic Onimusha entries, diving into the Metal Gear Solid compilations, or trying something new on the Switch eShop?
Share platform, developer, and what’s kept your attention — we’ll share highlights from readers next week.
