In what some might call a renaissance for video game adaptations, we've been treated to a slew of exciting projects, from the success of "The Super Mario Bros. Movie" and another "Sonic the Hedgehog" film to acclaimed TV series like "The Last of Us" and "Fallout." The future looks even brighter with potential adaptations of "God of War," "Ghost of Tsushima," and many others on the horizon. What's particularly thrilling is how these new projects far surpass the quality of video game adaptations we've seen in the past.

While it's uncertain how many of these projects will ultimately make it to release, we're closely monitoring and tracking their progress. For the purpose of this list, we define a "video game movie" or "TV show" as an adaptation of an existing video game, excluding movies like "Wreck-It Ralph," which, despite being about video games, doesn't fit our criteria. These adaptations don't need to be strictly faithful to the source material; they simply need to be based on real games.
