Upcoming PS5 Games List for 2026 – Release Dates

Updated: This article was last updated on October 21, 2026, with the latest upcoming PS5 games and their announced release dates.

Below is a list of all upcoming PS5 games lined up for the rest of 2026. We have plenty to look forward to, from major shooters and cinematic action adventures to indie horror games and quirky co-op experiences. October brings Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4, Phantom Blade Zero, FINAL FANTASY RESONANCE, and several smaller games that could easily fly under your radar. November and December also have some major releases lined up, including Grand Theft Auto VI. I've organized the release calendar month by month, with release dates, genres, developers, and trailers wherever available.

Upcoming Games in October 2026 - PS5 Releases

October still has a busy release schedule, with a mix of familiar franchises, new adventures, and remastered classics. Since the month is already underway, this section focuses on games scheduled to launch from October 20 onward.

Mycopunk (October 20, 2026)

Mycopunk sends a squad of robot misfits into a galaxy-wide fungal disaster. You'll join the New Atlas Hazard Crew, a team of exterminators tasked with investigating the catastrophe and fighting the strange creatures spreading across the planet. The game focuses on mission-based shooting, weapon customization, and cooperative gameplay for up to four players. You can experiment with different upgrades and gadgets to create your own approach to combat, whether you're playing with friends or taking on missions alone. Its colourful sci-fi setting and chaotic gunplay make it a fun pick for co-op shooter fans.

Stupid Never Dies (October 21, 2026)

Stupid Never Dies follows Davy, a weak zombie who falls in love with Julia, a human woman who has been frozen to death. To bring her back, he must descend into a dangerous dungeon and defeat the King of Monsters. Davy can devour enemies, steal their abilities, and change his body to unlock new ways of fighting. That progression system gives the action RPG its own identity, as you'll gradually transform a seemingly useless zombie into a monster capable of taking on stronger opponents. Expect fast-paced combat, bizarre humour, and a rather unusual love story.

Cotton Reboot! (October 22, 2026)

Cotton Reboot! brings a refreshed version of the colourful arcade shooter to PS5. You play as Cotton, a young witch who teams up with her fairy companion, Silk, to battle enemies and collect magical treats. The game features widescreen HD visuals, a remastered soundtrack option, Time Attack, and the classic X68000 version for players who want a dose of retro gaming. Its cute presentation hides a challenging shoot-'em-up experience, with weapon upgrades and score-boosting mechanics that reward precise play. This is a new 2026 console release of an existing game, rather than an entirely new entry.

Cotton Reboot! High Tension! (October 22, 2026)

Cotton Reboot! High Tension! expands the series with another colourful adventure starring the witch Cotton and her fairy companion, Silk. This time, you'll fly through horizontally scrolling stages, blasting enemies while collecting crystals that can improve your elemental spells. Its Over Tension mechanic adds another layer to the action, temporarily increasing the intensity of enemy attacks while giving you access to powerful abilities and opportunities to chase higher scores. If you enjoy arcade shooters that are easy to pick up but demand practice to master, this sequel offers another reason to dust off your virtual broomstick.

FINAL FANTASY RESONANCE (October 22, 2026)

FINAL FANTASY RESONANCE brings the series into HD-2D, combining classic pixel-art characters with detailed 3D environments and modern lighting. The adventure revolves around protecting the Crystals scattered across the world and stopping Veritas of the Dark from destroying everything. Battles use a turn-based command system, and powerful summons known as Espers can join your party's fights for limited turns. The game also includes Visions inspired by familiar characters from across the franchise. If you've been waiting for a new Final Fantasy adventure with a classic JRPG feel, this one deserves a spot on your radar.

Peak: Console Edition (October 22, 2026)

Peak turns mountain climbing into a chaotic co-op adventure. You and your fellow Scouts must work together to reach the summit, managing stamina, finding supplies, and using climbing equipment to navigate increasingly dangerous terrain. The mountain's changing conditions can turn a simple climb into a disaster, especially when you run low on food or lose your footing. Teamwork is central to the experience, but coordinating a group of friends can be just as entertaining as reaching the summit. The PS5 version also supports crossplay, making it easier to team up with friends on other supported platforms.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 (October 23, 2026)

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 takes the franchise into a new conflict, with North Korea launching a full-scale invasion of the Korean Peninsula. The campaign follows a squad of South Korean soldiers fighting to survive while Captain Price wages a separate operation from the shadows. The game also brings back competitive multiplayer, including traditional 6v6 matches and larger-scale battles. Its focus on weapon handling, combat realism, and fast-paced firefights should appeal to players who enjoy the more grounded side of Call of Duty. If you're mainly here for multiplayer, keep an eye out for more details on its maps, modes, and post-launch support.

Hunter's Moon (October 26, 2026)

Hunter's Moon is a first-person folk-horror adventure set in a 17th-century English village. You play as Lilith Thorne, a woman accused of witchcraft who must escape the people hunting her. Instead of relying on constant combat, you'll use stealth, observation, and careful movement to survive the night. Listening to villagers through windows and discovering their secrets can reveal useful information as you explore the village and its surrounding countryside. Inspired by historical witch hunts and folk horror, the game focuses on human fear and suspicion rather than relying solely on supernatural monsters.

Remothered: Red Nun's Legacy (October 27, 2026)

Remothered: Red Nun's Legacy brings the survival-horror trilogy to its conclusion. You'll face terrifying stalkers and use stealth to stay alive, hide from enemies, and find opportunities to escape. The game also introduces supernatural abilities that help you revisit memories, manipulate moths, and use mirrors to uncover clues or reveal hidden routes. These mechanics add more depth to exploration while keeping the pressure on during encounters with enemies. If you enjoy classic third-person survival horror with a modern presentation, this is one of October's more notable horror releases.

Village in the Shade (October 27, 2026)

Village in the Shade looks like a cosy farming game at first, but its setting has a much darker side. You'll settle in Kagatsu, a traditional Japanese mountain village where you can grow crops, raise animals, fish, customize your home, and get to know the locals. However, the village comes with a strict set of rules, including warnings about strangers and going outside at night. Break those rules, and your peaceful rural life could take a disturbing turn. Players who prefer a gentler experience can choose Peaceful Life Mode, which removes the threat of breaking the village's code.

The Séance of Blake Manor (October 27, 2026)

The Séance of Blake Manor takes you to Ireland in 1897, where private investigator Declan Ward arrives at a remote hotel to investigate the disappearance of Evelyn Deane. The building is filled with mystics preparing for a séance, and everyone seems to have a secret. You'll interview suspects, gather evidence, investigate rooms, and use your journal to connect clues before confronting people about their stories. Time also matters, as characters follow their own schedules and certain events can be missed if you arrive too late. It's an intriguing choice for players who enjoy supernatural mysteries and deduction over action-heavy combat.

ANOMALITH (October 28, 2026)

ANOMALITH blends third-person shooting with supernatural science fiction and retro Japanese aesthetics. The story follows Reona Minazuki, a young girl who enters an anomaly zone while searching for her missing friend. Inside these areas, you'll encounter strange creatures and environments while unlocking unusual powers that can change how you approach combat. You can also customize firearms, collect artifacts to improve your stats, and change Reona's equipment to suit your preferred playstyle. Its mix of gunfights, unsettling spaces, and mysterious abilities makes it one to watch if you enjoy atmospheric action adventures.

Phantom Blade Zero (October 29, 2026)

Phantom Blade Zero follows Soul, an assassin framed for the murder of his master. With only 66 days left to live, he must uncover a conspiracy while fighting through a dark world inspired by Chinese wuxia stories, fantasy, and folk horror. Combat is built around fast swordplay, varied weapons, and cinematic encounters against dangerous enemies. The game's developers describe its distinctive style as "kungfupunk," blending traditional martial-arts influences with a darker, more mechanical fantasy world. If you enjoy action games that reward timing, precision, and learning enemy patterns, this is one of the biggest PS5 releases to watch in October.

Hunting Simulator 3 (October 29, 2026)

Hunting Simulator 3 takes you into expansive wilderness environments inspired by Colorado and the outback of Texas. You can explore on foot or use an all-terrain vehicle to cover more ground, track animals, and plan your hunts. The game features a wildlife simulation system designed to give animals distinct behaviour, including movement, ageing, and reproduction. You can also use a hunting dog to help identify tracks, locate prey, and retrieve animals. Between expeditions, you'll return to a customizable hunting lodge where you can display trophies and prepare for your next trip.

The Wolf Among Us Remastered (October 29, 2026)

The Wolf Among Us Remastered returns to the dark, neon-lit streets of Fabletown with updated visuals and a more polished presentation. You play as Bigby Wolf, the sheriff responsible for investigating a brutal murder in a community where fairy-tale characters secretly live among humans. Your choices affect conversations, relationships, and how other characters respond to you, so the investigation is as much about reading people as it is about finding clues. The remaster also introduces Noir Mode, letting you play the story in black and white. This is an enhanced edition of the original narrative adventure, rather than a sequel.

Suri: The Seventh Note (October 30, 2026)

Suri: The Seventh Note is an Indian-developed rhythm-action platformer set on a mysterious island inspired by Indian art, architecture, and culture. You play as Ajira, a young girl searching for a magical fruit that could save her mother. Movement, platforming, and music are closely connected, so mastering the rhythm helps you navigate the world and handle its challenges. The game also features escape sequences, unlockable movement abilities, and hand-illustrated environments. Backed by the PlayStation India Hero Project, Suri is a particularly interesting release for players who want to support an original adventure with a distinct cultural identity.

The Cat in the Hat: Rainy Day Mayhem (October 30, 2026)

The Cat in the Hat: Rainy Day Mayhem brings the mischievous Dr. Seuss character to a family-friendly party game. You can play as characters including Sally, Johnny, Thing 1, Thing 2, and the Little Cat, then take on minigames or search for the Cat across different rooms. The game supports up to four players, making it an option for family game nights or younger players looking for something lighter than October's horror and action releases. Its collection of challenges includes activities such as capturing penguins, decorating cakes, and completing other chaotic tasks.

We Were Here Tomorrow (October 2026 — Exact Date TBA)

We Were Here Tomorrow is a cooperative puzzle adventure built around communication between two players. After becoming trapped beneath the ice in Antarctica, you and your partner wake up inside a mysterious retro-futuristic research facility. Each player has a different role, tools, and information, so you'll need to describe what you see, coordinate your actions, and solve puzzles together. The game also uses a walkie-talkie system to keep players communicating when they're separated. The PlayStation Store lists the release window as October 2026, but an exact day has not been confirmed.

Upcoming Games in November 2026 - PS5 Releases

November 2026 is shaping up to be a big month for PS5 players, especially with Grand Theft Auto VI finally approaching its launch. However, Rockstar's open-world blockbuster isn't the only game worth watching. We've also got a new espionage RPG from the studio behind Disco Elysium, a remastered Godzilla brawler, a new Warhammer roguelite, and several smaller adventures worth keeping on your radar. Here's every notable upcoming PS5 game scheduled for November, arranged by release date.

ZERO PARADES: For Dead Spies (November 3, 2026)

From the studio behind Disco Elysium comes ZERO PARADES: For Dead Spies, a story-driven espionage RPG where failure can be just as important as success. You play as Hershel Wilk, also known by her operant alias CASCADE, as she attempts to rebuild a broken network and untangle a dangerous web of political intrigue. Your choices shape Hershel's identity, relationships, and approach to difficult situations. The game also introduces a psychological conditioning system that lets you reinforce particular thoughts to unlock new possibilities. Expect plenty of dialogue, morally complicated decisions, strange characters, and dice-based checks that can turn even a promising plan into a complete disaster.

Godzilla: Destroy All Monsters Melee Remastered (November 3, 2026)

Godzilla: Destroy All Monsters Melee Remastered brings the classic 2002 kaiju fighting game to modern consoles with upgraded visuals and gameplay improvements. You can choose from 12 monsters and battle across eight locations, including real-world cities, Monster Island, and an alien mothership. Each creature has its own moveset, featuring close-range attacks, ranged abilities, and powerful special moves. The arenas also play an active role in combat, allowing you to throw buildings and use the surrounding environment against your opponents. Alongside the single-player campaigns, the remaster adds online multiplayer, giving you another way to settle the age-old question of which giant monster would win in a fight.

Let's Sing 2027 (November 3, 2026)

Let's Sing 2027 brings another round of karaoke sessions to PS5, whether you're chasing a high score on your own or turning your living room into a chaotic singing competition. The game features a playlist of 35 songs, including modern chart hits and familiar favourites, with an optional VIP Pass offering access to a much larger selection. You can sing solo or join up with friends in multiplayer modes, and the game supports compatible microphones as well as a smartphone companion app. This year's edition also introduces Soundtown, a new party mode where you face off against DJ Hush while unlocking avatars, cosmetics, and rewards.

CRYMELIGHT (November 5, 2026)

CRYMELIGHT takes players to Wonderland, a strange prison for the souls of the dead. You play as Alice, a girl who has lost her memories and must participate in a deadly game to earn her freedom. With help from Mary, Alice battles the forces of the Queen while uncovering the pasts of the people she encounters. Combat revolves around a roguelike progression system, where you collect skill cards and combine up to five of them into poker-style hands. Stronger combinations produce more powerful effects, while the Wonder Dimension mechanic boosts your abilities as combat intensifies. You can also retain some progression between failed runs, giving you another reason to dive back into Wonderland.

Escape Academy 2: Back 2 School (November 5, 2026)

Escape Academy 2: Back 2 School expands the original game's escape-room formula into a more open-ended campus adventure. Instead of moving directly from one puzzle room to the next, you'll explore an entire academy filled with secrets, characters, side quests, and interconnected challenges. The sequel features handcrafted escape rooms, an expanded story, and a mystery surrounding the founding of the school. You'll also encounter different campus areas, each with its own visual identity and atmosphere. You can explore alone or team up with a friend through local or online co-op, making this a great pick if you prefer solving puzzles together rather than getting stuck on one particularly annoying riddle.

K-Pop Rising: Dream to Shine (November 5, 2026)

K-Pop Rising: Dream to Shine lets you live out the dream of becoming a K-pop star. You begin with your best friend, Nova, before building a group, recruiting members, and working towards performances on increasingly bigger stages. Along the way, you'll customize your character, choose outfits and makeup, practise singing and dancing, and grow your fan community through social media. The game combines life-simulation activities with rhythm-based challenges, so you'll need more than a stylish outfit to make your performances stand out. You can play solo or team up with two friends, and the soundtrack features original songs created specifically for the game.

Where the Seeds Fall (November 5, 2026)

Where the Seeds Fall takes place in a world devastated by a mysterious Blight, forcing humanity to build settlements among the branches of a gigantic World Tree. The story follows a soldier who encounters a child known as a Fell Child and decides to protect them instead of following orders. Together, they begin a dangerous descent towards the surface, navigating ruined structures, treacherous drops, and unpredictable winds. Rather than focusing solely on combat, the adventure places a strong emphasis on traversal and carefully navigating the environment. Its unusual setting and relationship between the two main characters make it one of November's more intriguing new PS5 adventures.

Hasbro Games Junior Collection (November 6, 2026)

Hasbro Games Junior Collection brings three familiar family board games into one digital package: Monopoly Junior, Clue Junior, and The Game of Life Junior. Each game offers a simpler, more accessible take on its original formula, making the collection suitable for younger players and family game nights. You can buy properties and collect rent in Monopoly Junior, hunt for clues in Clue Junior, or make choices and collect stars in The Game of Life Junior. The collection also includes customizable avatars, unlockable cosmetic rewards, and local multiplayer for up to four players on one console. It's a straightforward option when you want something lighter than another competitive shooter.

Warhammer Survivors (November 10, 2026)

Warhammer Survivors combines the relentless enemy hordes of the survivors-like genre with characters, weapons, and creatures from the Warhammer 40,000 and Warhammer Age of Sigmar universes. You'll select a champion and try to survive increasingly dangerous waves of enemies, collecting weapons and upgrades along the way. The real fun comes from combining equipment and power-ups into devastating attacks that can clear large portions of the screen. You'll face familiar threats from both universes, including Tyranids and Skaven, alongside powerful bosses that can quickly overwhelm an unprepared build. With more than 40 playable champions, there's plenty of room to experiment with different weapons and character combinations across repeated runs.

Prinny Party: Going Overboard! (November 11, 2026)

Prinny Party: Going Overboard! brings the chaotic mascot of the Disgaea series into a multiplayer party adventure. You'll move around a board, fight demons, earn experience, and buy equipment to strengthen your character before taking on Laharl, the Supreme Overboard. The game also lets players cooperate against familiar heroes from the Disgaea universe or compete against one another for valuable items. There's a catch, though: if everyone gets defeated at once, the whole group can lose. With support for up to four players, the game mixes light RPG progression with the sort of chaotic competition that can make a friendly game night surprisingly intense.

Grand Theft Auto VI (November 19, 2026)

It's finally time to head back to Vice City. Grand Theft Auto VI takes players to Leonida, a fictional state inspired by Florida, where protagonists Jason Duval and Lucia Caminos find themselves caught in a criminal conspiracy after a job goes wrong. The pair must rely on each other as they navigate the state's criminal underworld, from the neon-lit streets of Vice City to the surrounding countryside. Rockstar has built the game around a sprawling open world, a crime-focused narrative, and the series' familiar mix of driving, exploration, missions, and satirical storytelling. The game's launch is one of the biggest events on the 2026 gaming calendar, and PS5 players can look forward to features that make use of the DualSense controller and the console's fast storage.

Gothic 3 Classic (November 24, 2026)

Gothic 3 Classic brings the cult RPG to PS5, letting players return to the war-torn mainland of Myrtana. The kingdom faces an orc invasion, while human rebels and factions in the south pursue their own interests. You play as the Nameless Hero, whose decisions can influence the fate of the world and determine which groups receive your support. The console version includes the Community Patch 1.75 alongside improvements to lighting, shading, and other technical elements. It also features an updated gamepad interface and controls designed for modern consoles. If you enjoy old-school RPGs that give you freedom to choose sides and explore a world shaped by your actions, this classic is worth watching.

Marupoyo: The Round Chick's Adventure (November 26, 2026)

Marupoyo: The Round Chick's Adventure is a colourful, physics-based platformer built around one simple idea: controlling a round little chick as it rolls through the world. You'll guide Marupoyo across 120 levels, using the environment and momentum to overcome obstacles while searching for missing siblings. The game uses controller-tilt mechanics to influence movement, giving its platforming a different feel from traditional games where you simply run and jump. Its accessible presentation and family-friendly premise make it a good option for younger players or anyone looking for a lighter adventure between larger releases. Don't let the cute art style fool you, though; navigating physics-based obstacles can still demand a bit of patience and precision.

Upcoming Games in December 2026 - PS5 Releases

December wraps up the year with a mix of monster-collecting RPGs, indie adventures, horror games, and big action releases. Whether you want to explore a magical world in Hela: of Mice & Magic, build a team of monsters in DRAGON QUEST MONSTERS: The Withered World, or fight Titans in Attack on Titan 3, there's plenty to keep your PS5 busy. Here are the notable December releases, arranged by launch date.

Hela: of Mice & Magic (December 1, 2026)

Hela: of Mice & Magic is a cosy open-world adventure that lets you see the world through the eyes of a tiny mouse. Inspired by the landscapes of Northern Sweden, the game follows a group of magical familiars who set out to help their ailing witch and restore harmony to the land. You'll explore forests, mountains, and wetlands, gather ingredients, brew potions, and solve environmental puzzles. You can also play solo, team up with a friend through local split-screen, or bring up to four players together online. The world looks peaceful, but its puzzles and exploration give you plenty to discover.

DRAGON QUEST MONSTERS: The Withered World (December 3, 2026)

If you enjoy collecting monsters and building the perfect battle party, DRAGON QUEST MONSTERS: The Withered World deserves a spot on your wishlist. You play as Bianca and Nera, two aspiring monster wranglers who set out on an adventure through a colourful fantasy world. You'll befriend creatures from the DRAGON QUEST universe, train them, and combine two monsters through synthesis to create stronger companions. Each monster brings different attributes and talents, so finding the right combinations will be an important part of building your team. You can also challenge other players online and put your strongest monsters to the test.

Rayman Legends Retold (December 3, 2026)

Rayman Legends Retold reimagines the classic platforming adventure with refreshed visuals, new story content, and additional musical stages. You'll join Rayman, Globox, Barbara, and their friends as they attempt to save the Glade of Dreams from a mysterious new threat. Expect the familiar mix of running, jumping, gliding, and punching through colourful levels, alongside dragon-riding sequences and a new realm to explore. The game also supports up to four players in local co-op, making it a fun option for a gaming session with friends or family. It also includes Rayman Origins: Enhanced Edition.

Waltz and Jam (December 3, 2026)

Waltz and Jam follows a lost soul named Waltz and his loyal shape-shifting dog, Jam, as they explore a strange afterlife. Their journey takes them across seven handcrafted worlds inspired by the Seven Deadly Sins, each with its own puzzles, enemies, and boss encounters. You'll need to combine Waltz's toys with Jam's transformations to solve environmental challenges, discover hidden paths, and defeat enemies. Jam can change into different forms to help Waltz reach new areas, while the worlds hide secrets that reward exploration. Its hand-drawn art and unusual setting give this adventure a distinct look.

The Road of Dust and Sorrow (December 3, 2026)

The Road of Dust and Sorrow is a story-driven survival-horror game with a pixel-art style inspired by classic horror titles. It takes place in a world where a supposed cure for famine has turned people into feral creatures known as Dusters. You follow Katherine and her daughter Ava as they search for safety in the remains of civilization. You'll explore abandoned buildings, search for supplies, solve environmental puzzles, and survive encounters with dangerous creatures. The central challenge isn't just staying alive; it's protecting Ava while navigating a world where every locked door and dark corridor could hide another threat.

FreeStyle Football 2 (December 3, 2026)

FreeStyle Football 2 takes a different approach to football by focusing on fast-paced 5v5 matches, where every player controls a single character. Each position has its own role and abilities, so teamwork, quick passing, coordinated defence, and well-timed skills matter more than simply chasing the ball. You can customize your characters, unlock outfits, and work your way through competitive leagues and club tournaments. The game also features a story mode set on the artificial island of Lana. If traditional 11-a-side football games feel too serious, this arcade-style alternative could be worth checking out.

Attack on Titan 3 (December 10, 2026)

Attack on Titan 3 brings the action-game series to its conclusion, covering the story from the Scout Regiment's early days through the dramatic finale. You'll fight as a member of the Scouts, using omni-directional mobility gear to zip through the air and take down Titans. The sequel upgrades movement and combat, while making Titan behaviour more varied and dangerous. You'll also be able to recruit squad members and undertake special missions beyond the walls. For fans who want to revisit the anime's major battles in an interactive format, this is one of December's biggest action releases.
