Best video games for teens
Researched by Deal.ai's shopping agent across stores on November 10, 2026. Prices below are today's.
Start with Super Smash Bros. Ultimate — the safest pick for a teen: up to 8 players on one couch, endlessly replayable, and it's the game friends actually gather around.
Who the others suit:
- Mario Kart World — the go-to for mixed ages and family game nights; easy to pick up, chaotic in the best way.
- NBA 2K27 / EA Sports FC 26 — for the teen who follows a sport and wants online leagues and rivalries.
- Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds — arcade racing that's fun solo or split-screen.
- Ori and the Will of the Wisps — for the one who plays for story and atmosphere, not competition.
- Godzilla: Destroy All Monsters Melee Remastered — kaiju brawling, rated Teen, great for monster fans.
Check the platform on each card before buying — several are PS5 or Xbox only.
