Forza Horizon 6 (PS5)

  • 2026

We don’t actually know if Forza Horizon 6 will release on PS5 in 2026, because Microsoft has announced there will be a period of timed exclusivity for Xbox and PC platforms. However, considering the significant success of Forza Horizon 5 on Sony’s format, expect this to be massive when it does eventually make its way to PlayStation. The Japan setting is bound to make this one of, if not the biggest arcade racers of the generation.

Who'd have thought we'd ever see Halo on PlayStation? Well, it's happening in 2026 with the arrival of Halo: Campaign Evolved, a remake of the very first game in Xbox's lauded shooter series. As the name suggests, it focuses squarely on the story campaign, but introduces four-player local and online co-op, bringing a new flavour to the game as well as cutting edge visuals. We're sure this'll be one of PS5's most interesting releases of the year, as newcomers jump into the series and veterans revisit a classic.

Lords of the Fallen 2 (PS5)

  • 2026

Dark fantasy games may be dime a dozen these days, but the original Lords of the Fallen managed to stand out in that admittedly crowded space. This sequel aims to build upon the blueprint of the original, with a refined Soulslike gameplay system and a better-realised gothic world. With nothing new on the horizon from genre pioneers FromSoftware, this should fill the gap nicely.

Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydra (PS5)

  • 2026

Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydra should be one of the most anticipated games of 2026. The fact that it isn’t perhaps speaks to a scepticism around the title’s non-existent marketing. But make no mistake: a title penned by Uncharted’s Amy Hennig, starring both Captain America and the Black Panther, has huge potential. We just need to see much more of it.

Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls (PS5)

  • 2026

Sony has buddied up with Marvel once again, and it's entering the fighting games arena with a bold new take on tag-team fighters. Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls is in the works from Arc System Works, a studio that's been making expressive fighting games for many years, including Dragon Ball FighterZ, Guilty Gear Strive, and many more. This new game takes popular heroes like Spider-Man and Iron Man, and gives them a brilliant anime-inspired twist. Aiming to appeal to both casual fans and hardcore players, there's a little something for everyone in this wild game, and we expect it will make a big impact in 2026.

Metro Rivals: New York (PS5)

  • 2026

Train Sim World has steadily improved in popularity over the years, but its hardcore simulation gameplay is never going to appeal to everyone. That’s where Metro Rivals: New York comes in: a more arcade train racing game built on the foundations of decades of Dovetail’s development. It’s certainly a niche inclusion on this list, but if it can find its audience then it’ll be well worth paying attention to.

Onimusha: Way of the Sword (PS5)

  • 2026

Having established a new golden era for itself, Capcom is bringing back another classic series with Onimusha: Way of the Sword. This action adventure looks like a refreshingly old school escapade about a samurai who wields the mysterious Oni Gauntlet, granting him power against demonic enemies. With Capcom's run of form being so impressive, we have high hopes this will be another top notch title, with great combat at its core.

Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time Remake (PS5)

  • 2026

This game has been in the works for a long time, having suffered many delays, but there's real potential for a superb remake here. Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time is often heralded as one of gaming's greatest adventures, and a revamp with modern visuals and tight gameplay will go down a treat. There's definitely a bit of a question mark over this one, but it could be a total home run for Ubisoft — if they can get it right.

The Dark Pictures Anthology: Directive 8020 (PS5)

  • 2026

The Dark Pictures Anthology has been a bit up and down since it spiritually continued Supermassive’s efforts on Until Dawn, but it’s taken its time with Directive 8020, which is being pitched as a kind of self-published reboot for the series. Expect this sci-fi instalment to take inspiration from the likes of Alien, with a new feature named Turning Points allowing you to rewind time and pick different decisions.

Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis (PS5)

  • 2026

A second remake of the original Tomb Raider game, after 2007’s Tomb Raider Anniversary. This game will build the foundations for all-new entry Tomb Raider Catalyst, due out in 2027. And for fans who missed the acrobatics of classic Lara Croft, it should plot a return of the superhuman feats of the classic character, after the survivor trilogy’s more tame adventures.

Those are the 40 highlights we think demand your attention on PS5 in 2026, then, but there’s no shortage of other games on the docket. We want to know which of our picks you’re particularly looking forward to, and any other noteworthy games you think we’re remiss not to mention. Let us know below.
