PlayStation’s 2026 PS5 release roundup covers 19 games scheduled to arrive between July 28 and November 19. The lineup jumps from sci-fi shooters and supernatural adventures to racing games, platformers, tactical strategy, and one very large open-world crime saga.
July and August
Halo: Campaign Evolved – July 28
The Combat Evolved remake will bring Master Chief to PlayStation for the first time. It will feature upgraded visuals, extra and redesigned missions, changes to lore and movement, additional weapons, four-player online co-op, and two-player couch co-op.

Game Freak’s action RPG takes place in the post-apocalyptic ruins of Japan in the year 4026. Emma, an outcast affected by a plague, and Koo, a blighted dog, will search for the source of the corruption. Combat combines real-time swordplay with turn-based-style commands that let the pair work together.
Big Walk – August 4
The next game from the team behind Untitled Goose Game will send up to 12 players across an open world built around cooperation. Players will communicate through singing, codes, gestures, and controller inputs while solving puzzles together. Big Walk will also join the PlayStation Plus Monthly Games lineup at launch.

Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy – August 27

Rebel Wolves’ dark fantasy action RPG will take place in the 14th-century kingdom of Vale Sangora. Coen will have 30 days to save his family while dealing with a mysterious blood curse. The game will include branching choices, sword and magic combat, and a story centered on family and morality.
Onimusha: Way of the Sword – September 4
Capcom’s supernatural samurai adventure will follow Musashi through early Edo-period Kyoto. Players will battle human enemies and demonic Genma with sword stances, parries, combos, and powers granted by the Oni Gauntlet. The environment can also become part of the fight.

Control Resonant – September 24
Remedy’s follow-up will move away from the original game’s third-person shooter focus and lean into action RPG systems. Dylan Faden will search for his sister Jesse while using the shapeshifting Aberrant weapon, which can become blades, a hammer, and other forms. The story will include strange enemies, physics-defying areas, and cosmic horror.
Silent Hill: Townfall – September 24
Simon Ordell’s story will take players to the Scottish island of St. Amelia in a first-person horror adventure about loss and consequences. Melee weapons and firearms will be available, but stealth, distractions, and puzzle solving will be key to surviving the island’s threats.
