PS5 Release Schedule Fall 2026
Image: Push Square

We already knew that September's release schedule was bordering on absurd, but now that we're done with all of the summer gaming events — State of Play, Summer Game Fest, and the Xbox Games Showcase — it's basically the whole of the autumn / fall that looks insane.

This is quite possibly the most packed period for new games I've seen — at least in regards to the PS5. The sheer number of high profile titles that are releasing in the space of about a month and a bit is nuts.

Of course, there's a big reason for this, and it's called GTA 6. What is probably the most anticipated game release ever has forced publishers of all shapes and sizes to stay away from its blast radius.

Rockstar's open wordler launches on the 19th November (yes, the date seems to be sticking), pushing so many titles to get out ahead of the madness. In particular, this has led to September and October being monstrously overcrowded.

So, let's take a moment to look at the current schedule. We've listed every notable PS5 game that's set to release between the last week in August, and the end of October.

Late August

September

October

September's still stupidly stacked, but remember, it was only a few days ago that Phantom Blade Zero — arguably one of the most hyped games on this list — was delayed into October. It was originally set for the 9th September.

The question, then, is whether similar delays are inevitable for some of these other titles. Are publishers really looking at this schedule and thinking they'll all be fine?

Maybe if you're Marvel's Wolverine it's not a huge deal, but what about, say, Control Resonant? Onimusha? Silent Hill? There's a lot of competition.

Part of me wants to see what would happen if GTA 6 was hit with yet another delay. Would some of these games scramble to take advantage of an empty November?

But as it stands, this is what the autumn / fall of 2026 looks like. So apologise to your wallet in advance, and then start cherry picking PS5 games in the comments section below.
