This discussion took place during our video games podcast Game Enforcement Agency Ep 113:
From the Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AFL_26):
AFL 26 is the latest video game based on Australian rules football league AFL, developed by Big Ant Studios and published by Nacon. It was released on 8 May 2025 on Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One and Xbox Series X. It will also release on Nintendo Switch 2 at a later date.[1] This is the second game in a row developed by Big Ant Studios and published by Nacon in the AFL video game series.[2]
AFL 26 was leaked on the Australian Classification Board's website on 8 April 2025, and was later announced the same day on a Big Ant Studio's Twitter post.[2][3] The game was also added onto the JB Hi-Fi and EB Games websites with the game cover revealed.[4][5] Unlike the previous AFL video game, AFL 26 was released on the expected release date.[6]
On release, the game received mostly negative reviews on Steam, with 33% of users giving a positive review. The game did not have as many game-breaking bugs as AFL 23 did, but still had many bugs, some causing Xbox users being unable to play the game.[7]
