2026 has already given owners plenty to talk about, but the back half of the year is where things really heat up. A console-defining Marvel exclusive, a first-ever Halo game on PlayStation, and the most anticipated open-world release in years are all lined up before the calendar turns over.

Whether you're planning your next purchase or just trying to keep your wishlist in order, here's a complete, date-by-date breakdown of the biggest new PS5 games still on the way in 2026.

Why the Second Half of 2026 Is a Big Deal for PS5 Owners

Sony's release calendar has been unusually stacked this year, with major first-party exclusives, blockbuster third-party crossovers, and long-awaited franchise revivals all clustered between summer and winter. Here's what's coming, month by month.

July 2026

Halo: Campaign Evolved - July 28

Halo makes its long-awaited jump to PlayStation with this remake of the original Combat Halo Evolved campaign PS5. The rebuilt version adds refreshed visuals, reworked and additional missions, and quality-of-life changes drawn from later entries in the series, including updated movement and expanded weapon options. Multiplayer support covers four-player online co-op and two-player split-screen, giving Master Chief's PlayStation debut plenty of ways to be enjoyed with friends.

August 2026

Beast of Reincarnation - August 4

Game Freak steps outside its usual comfort zone with this action RPG set in a corrupted, near-future Japan. Players guide outcast protagonist Emma and her transformed companion through a blend of real-time combat and tactical, turn-based commands as they hunt down the source of a spreading affliction.

Big Walk - August 4

From the studio behind Untitled Goose Game comes a co-op adventure built around communication rather than combat. Up to 12 players work together to cross an open landscape using gestures, songs, and shared codes instead of traditional dialogue, resulting in one of the more inventive multiplayer concepts of the year.

MARVEL Tokon: Fighting Souls - August 6

A tag-team fighter packed with Marvel heroes and villains, built around flashy 4v4 battles and an anime-influenced visual style. The roster spans well-known names from across the comics, and the game is designed to be approachable for newcomers through guided tutorials and simplified combo options, alongside deeper mechanics for competitive players.

Star Wars Zero Company - August 27

A turn-based tactics game set during the Clone Wars, featuring an original story and a roster built from classic Star Wars archetypes. Players assemble squads, form in-game bonds between units, and take on missions where relationships between characters directly affect combat outcomes.

September 2026

Marvel's Wolverine - September 15

One of the most anticipated PS5 exclusives of the year, this original story follows Marvel Wolverine as he works to free fellow mutants, crossing paths with familiar X-Men characters along the way. Expect brutal melee combat, a strong emphasis on Wolverine's healing factor, and the cinematic set pieces the studio behind it is known for.

Control Resonant - September 24

A follow-up to the acclaimed supernatural thriller, this entry shifts from third-person shooting toward action-RPG mechanics. Players control a new protagonist searching for answers inside the paranatural chaos gripping Manhattan, wielding a shapeshifting weapon capable of transforming into different tools of combat.

Silent Hill: Townfall - September 24

A first-person horror entry set in 1996 Scotland, built around psychological dread rather than direct confrontation. Combat exists, but stealth, environmental puzzles, and careful use of limited resources are the primary tools for survival.

October 2026

Rayman Legends Retold - October 1

A modern reimagining of the beloved platformer, featuring updated visuals, fully voiced cutscenes, and new levels layered on top of the original's platforming foundation. Local co-op for up to four players remains a core part of the experience.

Star Wars: Galactic Racer - October 6

A story-driven racing game set after the fall of the Empire, featuring vehicles and characters spanning multiple eras of the Star Wars timeline. Online multiplayer racing rounds out the package for players who want more than the campaign alone.

Castlevania: Belmont's Curse - October 15

A side-scrolling action game set in a besieged medieval Paris, continuing the story established in earlier Castlevania entries and its recent animated adaptation. Expect tight platforming, layered combat systems, and level design built around exploration and secrets.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 - October 23

This year's mainline Call of Duty entry sets its campaign across a fictional conflict on the Korean Peninsula, backed by an expanded multiplayer suite featuring numerous new maps and a large-scale extraction mode for squads.

Phantom Blade Zero - October 29

A dark, stylish action RPG blending folk horror, martial arts choreography, and a semi-open world structure. The game follows an assassin racing against a self-imposed deadline, with combat drawing heavily from classic Hong Kong action cinema.

November 2026

Grand Theft Auto VI - November 19

The most anticipated release of the year, and arguably of the decade, Grand Theft Auto VI brings Rockstar's open-world formula to its biggest scale yet. Set across a fictionalized version of Florida, the story follows two protagonists navigating crime, ambition, and consequence in a sprawling, densely detailed world.
