Upcoming FPS games, what comes out next

By Whale Development Studios, the studio behind Iron Curtain Call. Published 7 November 2026. Every date, platform and demo below was read on the US Steam store on 7 November 2026. This page runs from that day to the end of 2027 and puts the next releases first; for one year in full detail, see the 2027 guide.

Iron Curtain Call: tin soldier robots in red uniforms and space helmets guard a tipped over rocket on the Moon, the Earth rising behind them
Iron Curtain Call, chapter 10, One Small Step. A real gameplay frame.
The short answer

63 shooters in late 2026, 42 more with a date in 2027.

On 7 November 2026, Steam showed 63 first person shooters with a release day or month between then and the end of 2026, and 42 with a day or month in 2027. The first is HitTube on 8 November 2026; the biggest name with a day in this window is METRO 2039 from 4A Games, on 4 February 2027. Squadron 42 and Clockwork Revolution are dated only to a quarter or the year, so they sit in the 2027 guide.

Boomer shooter fans get Project: Haste (9 November 2026), Meat Engine (16 December 2026) and Iron Reactor (20 November 2026) in late 2026, then Iron Curtain Call, our 1930s cartoon shooter, on 11 March 2027.

55 of the 105 have a free demo on Steam today, Iron Curtain Call’s among them: play it now. 6 list macOS. The Next up list below always starts from today’s date, and the tables hide a game once its day has passed.

The calendar

Next up, then month by month.

A game is here if its Steam page shows a day or a month between the day of the read and the end of 2027, it is still Coming soon, and it plays as a first person shooter: the FPS or Boomer Shooter tag among its first six tags, and none of those six naming another kind of game (simulators, party games, tower defense, puzzle, idle, card, casual and cozy games stay out). Games that name only a quarter or the year are left out, so this is a calendar of dated games, not of every announcement. The style words come from each game’s own Steam tags. Read on 7 November 2026; a click on a name opens its Steam page.

Dates are the US Steam store’s own, read on 7 November 2026. With JavaScript on, games whose release day has passed are hidden and each month’s count follows.

The rest of 2026, in full: style, platforms, free demo and developer for every game.

Our game

Where Iron Curtain Call fits: 11 March 2027

Iron Curtain Call

Our game

Play it if you want a fast DOOM style shooter that looks like a 1930s cartoon, and you would rather try it free than read about it.

Iron Curtain Call is a fast first person shooter drawn like a 1930s rubber hose cartoon. It is 1965, World War III has broken out, and you punch, dash, grapple and parry your way through an army of wind up tin robots run by a customer service machine called the Supreme Chancellor. It comes out on 11 March 2027 on Steam for Windows and macOS.

You can try it before then: the free demo is Mission 1, Welcome to Rubbleton, about 15 to 20 minutes, and a 60 second sample runs in your browser with no download.

The yearly guides

The same checks, one page per question

This page is the short way in: what comes out next, month by month. The detail lives in the guides behind it, each read on the same Steam store the same day. The 2027 FPS guide has every shooter with a 2027 date in full tables and quick filters. The boomer shooter guide keeps to retro style shooters, the Mac games guide to games that list macOS, and the PC games guide to the shooters and Mac games together. For one month in depth, there is every game Steam dates in March 2027, and the free FPS demos guide lists demos you can play today.

Questions

Questions players ask

What are the next FPS games coming out?

The Next up list near the top of this page starts from today’s date and shows the next releases with a day. On 7 November 2026, Steam showed 33 first person shooters dated in November 2026 and 30 in December 2026, and the tables above give each one’s day, platforms and free demo.

What are the biggest upcoming FPS games?

Among the shooters with a day on Steam on 7 November 2026, METRO 2039 from 4A Games is the biggest name, on 4 February 2027. Squadron 42 from Cloud Imperium Games and Clockwork Revolution from inXile Entertainment are dated only to a quarter or the year, so they are in the 2027 guide. Big publishers often announce dates late, so this page grows through the year.

What FPS games come out in November 2026?

On 7 November 2026, Steam showed 33 first person shooters dated in November 2026, 23 of them with a free demo. The first is HitTube on 8 November 2026, and the tables above list every one with its day.

What FPS games come out in December 2026?

On 7 November 2026, Steam showed 30 first person shooters dated in December 2026, 19 of them with a free demo. The tables above list every one with its day.

Which upcoming FPS games have a free demo?

55 of the 105 shooters on this page had a free demo on Steam on 7 November 2026, and each table marks them. Iron Curtain Call’s free demo is Mission 1. Our free FPS demos guide lists demos you can play today.

Are there upcoming indie FPS games?

Most of them. Steam names the same company as developer and publisher for 88 of the 105 shooters on this page on 7 November 2026, which is the closest measure we read; Steam’s own Indie tag was not checked for this page. Iron Curtain Call is one of them: a solo developer’s game, published by our own studio.

Which upcoming FPS games will run on Mac?

6 of the 105 shooters on this page listed macOS on Steam on 7 November 2026. Our upcoming Mac games guide has every shooter and action game with a 2027 date for Mac.

When does Iron Curtain Call come out?

Iron Curtain Call comes out on 11 March 2027 on Steam, for Windows and macOS. Its free demo has been out since 28 October 2026.

How is this page different from the 2027 FPS guide?

This page is the rolling view: it starts at the day of the read, runs through 2027 and puts the next releases first. The 2027 guide is the full table for the year, with platforms, free demos, developers and filters, and it also lists the games that name only a quarter or the year.

How often is this page updated?

Every month we read each game’s Steam page again, move the dates that moved, drop the games that came out and add the shooters that got a date since. Between those reads, the Next up list and the tables follow today’s date in your browser. The date at the top says when the list was last read.

What PC and indie games are coming out in 2027?

More than one page can hold: Steam shows a lot of PC and indie games with a 2027 date, and dates keep moving. What we checked on Steam on 7 November 2026 are the shooters and the Mac action games, in two dated lists: upcoming FPS games and upcoming Mac games. Iron Curtain Call, our own cartoon noir shooter, is due 11 March 2027 on Windows and macOS, and its free demo is on Steam now.

What games release on 11 March 2027?

Among the shooters we checked on Steam on 7 November 2026: Blood of Rations (11 March 2027) and Iron Curtain Call (ours, 11 March 2027). We only checked shooters, so this is not the full set for that day; Steam’s own Coming Soon page has the rest.

What is a good new single player FPS I can play for free right now?

Iron Curtain Call has a free demo on Steam (Mission 1, about 15 to 20 minutes) and a free 60 second browser trial with no download. It is a single player cartoon noir shooter, and it is our game, so weigh that. For other free shooters, our list of free FPS demos on Steam holds the best rated ones.
