Topic: what are your plans for the Playstation 5 in 2026?

Me, starting later end of this month and in January im really planning on saving money here and there to finally get myself a Playstation 5 in early or mid 2026.

im even planning on getting at least one or two games on sale at the moment to start out with games

@seinfeldfanatic well I hope that you’re able to get a decent price what with the RAM shortage etc. hopefully Sony will remain unaffected by the point you’ve saved up the cash 🤞. What games are you planning on playing?

Personally, I’d already mapped out my 2026 gaming schedule a while back but I have recently made the decision to make some alterations to mark a particular era in gaming. I’m gonna try and reshuffle my roadmap to get atleast one Xbox game in per quarter to commemorate their 25th anniversary.

First up will be Gears of War: Reloaded, which I and a group of guys will be starting in January. Then I’ll be trying to fit in Forza Horizon 5, Halo: Campaign Evolved and Indiana Jones and the Great Circle and maybe a few more if possible.

I’m also trying to lower the sheer amount of games that I intend on play’n & plat’n in 2026 down to 35. It’s still a real tough ask though, given the total amount of hours required but should be just about doable.

There's a lot of games I'm looking forward too 😄

Resident Evil Requiem
Nioh 3
007 First Light
phantom blade zero
Onimusha: Way of the Sword
The Blood of Dawnwalker
Saros
Tomb Raider Legacy of Atlantis
GTA 6 (if it actually comes next year lol)
Wolverine
I've probably forgot a bunch but those are what came to mind.
Which games are you planning to get?

@graymamba Damn 35 platinums, I'm lucky if I get one haha.
Can I ask how many you got this year? I imagine quite a few 😄.

@Spectralmews currently closing in on 50… I’ve also set up my January 2026 too, to hopefully get its 3 scheduled plats on New Years Day to give myself a decent head start to the year… I’m massively ocd btw 😉

@graymamba Hats off to you that's some feat. I do have a bit of ocd with souls games for some reason. It's the only series that I have 100% in, everything else I can never be bothered.

@Spectralmews they’re the games that made me this way tbh 😅

I have 4 games i will buy in '26. Crimson Desert, Saros, GTA 6, and Wolverine. Phantom Blade Zero was on the list, but Where Winds Meet fills that spot for now. Im sure I'll buy others, but these 4 will be at full price.

@Spectralmews isnt the Wolverine game a 2027 release? I havent heard much about the game recently.

@seinfeldfanatic I think it's still scheduled for next year.

I'm genuinely excited for 2026 now. Feels like a year we haven't had since the PS2 era, because pretty much all of my favourite things are getting new games!

007 First Light
LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight
Shenmue III Enhanced
Star Trek Voyager: Across the Unknown
Star Wars: Galactic Racing
Star Wars: Zero Company
Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis

It's also a fair bet that the next mainline Sonic game will be coming out. All they'd need to do is shadow-drop the Venom interquel and stick Godzilla in something and I'd have total coverage!

As far as my immediate plans go, I'm gonna hopefully start the year with Star Wars: Outlaws. I did hesitate the other day but, seeing as the forthcoming Star Wars games aren't cinematic story-driven action adventures, I think I'm still safe to proceed. I'm also gonna carry on making a dent in the Ace Attorney series and if there's time, try to get into Deus Ex.
