We're currently experiencing a golden age of video game adaptations, with recent successes like The Super Mario Bros. Movie, Sonic the Hedgehog films, and acclaimed series such as The Last of Us and Fallout. Excitingly, we might soon see adaptations of games like God of War and Ghost of Tsushima. These new projects are setting a higher standard compared to many past adaptations.
While it's uncertain how many of these will ultimately make it to release, we're keeping a close eye on their progress. For this list, we consider a "video game movie" or "TV show" to be an adaptation of an existing game, excluding movies like Wreck-It Ralph which merely feature video game themes. These adaptations don't need to be strictly faithful but must be based on actual games.
