Top 50 New Amiga Games — 2023 to 2026
Three golden years for the breadbin — every major release ranked and linked

The Commodore Amiga scene between 2023 and 2026 has produced more original new games than at any point since the early 1990s. Original releases, forgotten arcade ports, commercial big-box titles, jam winners, and preserved lost games have all appeared in remarkable numbers. We have trawled through three years of IndieRetroNews, LemonAmiga, GenerationAmiga, English Amiga Board, and Aminet to bring you fifty of the most significant. Every release is free or pay-what-you-want unless marked ◆ COMMERCIAL. Please support the developers — the Amiga scene runs entirely on passion.

Ordered roughly by community impact and quality, not release date. Year in brackets. All links verified May 2026.
