(Let&#8217;s be real, Nintendo never left it.)<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">While the past generation of PS5-exclusive games eventually made their way to PC, Sony announced in May 2026 that future single-player games will <em>actually <\/em>be exclusive to the console. That was a recent announcement, so things are being ironed out, and some games that have been development will still see a simultaneous launch on both systems. <\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">Without further ado, here\u2019s what games you have to look forward to under the PlayStation banner in 2026 and beyond. <\/p>\n<h2 data-cy=\"title2\" class=\"title2 jsx-1903782357 jsx-3735650234\">Upcoming PS5 Games <\/h2>\n<p><output class=\"box-wrapper jsx-2673806401\" data-cy=\"article-video\"\/><\/p>\n<section class=\"box-wrapper jsx-2673806401\">\n<aside class=\"card jsx-2310533475 jsx-1178573261 box\" data-cy=\"aside\"\/><\/section>\n<p><h3 data-cy=\"title3\" class=\"title3 jsx-12333944 jsx-3517023867\" data-toc-title=\"Marvel\u2019s Wolverine\"><strong>Marvel\u2019s Wolverine &#8211; September 15, 2026 (PS5 Exclusive)<\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\"><strong>Insomniac Games<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><output class=\"box-wrapper jsx-2673806401\" data-cy=\"article-video\"\/><\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">The next PS5-exclusive game comes from none other than Insomniac, the studio behind the massive Spider-Man and Miles Morales games. While they\u2019re moving away from your friendly neighborhood web-swinger, the studio is keeping things in the Marvel family with a new take on the clawed Canadian mutant. The linear action game will loop in other familiar faces from the world of X-Men, and Insomniac has promised plenty of gore and\u2026 other things&#8230; that warranted an M-rating. <\/p>\n<section class=\"box-wrapper jsx-2673806401\">\n<aside class=\"card jsx-2310533475 jsx-1178573261 box\" data-cy=\"aside\">\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\"><strong\/><strong>Now Up for Preorder &#8211; See What\u2019s Included in Each Edition<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/aside>\n<\/section>\n<p><h3 data-cy=\"title3\" class=\"title3 jsx-12333944 jsx-3517023867\" data-toc-title=\"Phantom Blade 0\"><strong>Phantom Blade Zero &#8211; October 29, 2026 (Timed PS5 and PC Exclusive)<\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\"><strong>S-Game<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><output class=\"box-wrapper jsx-2673806401\" data-cy=\"article-video\"\/><\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">This Wuxia-inspired action game comes from Chinese studio S-Game, and is technically the fifth entry in the Phantom Blade series. The original games were developed in RPGMaker and translated as \u2018Rainblood,\u2019 and while the new entry looks graphically stunning, studio founder Soulframe Liang stated in a <u>PS blogpost<\/u> that he sees Zero as a \u201cspiritual rebirth\u201d of those originals. <\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">After a short delay from earlier this year, Phantom Blade Zero is set to launch on October 29, 2026 on both PS5 and PC. It\u2019s not a full exclusive, however, and will be released on Xbox and Switch 2 <u>a full year later<\/u>, in Fall 2027. <\/p>\n<section class=\"box-wrapper jsx-2673806401\">\n<aside class=\"card jsx-2310533475 jsx-1178573261 box\" data-cy=\"aside\">\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\"><strong>From <\/strong><u><strong>Our Hands On Preview of Phantom Blade 0<\/strong><\/u><strong>: <\/strong><\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">\u201cPhantom Blade 0 is hard, and I loved that about it.

God of War Laufey will feature none other than Kratos\u2019s wife and Atreus\u2019s mother, Faye, in a story that overlaps with the timeline of the 2019 reboot and Ragnarok. <\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">After passing away in Midgard, Faye wakes up in the Everywhen, a plane in the afterlife with gods from across mythologies vying for power. Her journey isn\u2019t over, and she still wants to support her family. She won\u2019t be alone, either, getting help from a gelatinous cube and a ribbon. Yep, chew on that. <\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">God of War Laufey is officially set to be released exclusively on PS5 on February 16, 2027. You can check out our full interview with the team at Santa Monica Studio for more. <\/p>\n<p><h3 data-cy=\"title3\" class=\"title3 jsx-12333944 jsx-3517023867\" data-toc-title=\"Until Dawn 2\"><strong>Until Dawn 2 &#8211; 2027 (PS5 Exclusive)<\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\"><strong>Firesprite<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><output class=\"box-wrapper jsx-2673806401\" data-cy=\"article-video\"\/><\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">An Until Dawn sequel was revealed at the same State of Play as God of War Laufey. While we don\u2019t have too many details, our first trailer showed off a new cast of characters, including Neil Newbon of Astarion fame. The story will follow a group of fake ghost hunters looking for clicks on a \u2018haunted\u2019 island, who ultimately find themselves wrapped up in a very real and deadly crisis. Expect the return of big consequence decision making, tons of possible endings, and some gnarly cutscenes. <\/p>\n<p><h3 data-cy=\"title3\" class=\"title3 jsx-12333944 jsx-3517023867\" data-toc-title=\"Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet\"><strong>Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet &#8211; TBA (PS5 Exclusive)<\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\"><strong>Naughty Dog <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><output class=\"box-wrapper jsx-2673806401\" data-cy=\"article-video\"\/><\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">To be honest, there\u2019s a chance Naughty Dog skips the PS5 generation entirely. The studio&#8217;s last new game was technically The Last of Us: Part 2, just before the current-gen console&#8217;s launch. Thankfully, we now know what the company has been working on in the interim, and it\u2019s in fact an entirely new IP. <\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet places you as Jordan A. Mun, a rogue bounty hunter stuck on the remote planet of Sempiria in an alternate, 80\u2019s-inspired version of the future. Details have been sparse since the game\u2019s announcement, but Neil Druckmann has commented on the game\u2019s title and focus on faith. <\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">There\u2019s been no word on a release date, though Naughty Dog employees have reportedly been under quite the crunch to get through the end of development. <\/p>\n<p><h3 data-cy=\"title3\" class=\"title3 jsx-12333944 jsx-3517023867\" data-toc-title=\"Fairgame$\"><strong>Fairgame$ &#8211; TBA (PS5 and PC)<\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\"><strong>Haven Studios<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><output class=\"box-wrapper jsx-2673806401\" data-cy=\"article-video\"\/><\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">The only multiplayer game on this list is also one I wouldn\u2019t quite get your hopes up about. Fairgame$ was announced all the way back in 2023, though reports of the new IP date back to 2021. The heist shooter was supposed to be the debut game from Haven Studios, but the team had also been tapped to support the ill-fated Concord. The studio&#8217;s founding member, Jade Raymond, and its creative director, both left the studio in 2025, a generally massive year for studio shuffles under PlayStation. <\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">Last we heard, Fairgame$ was delayed to 2026, which is\u2026 right now. After the success of Helldivers 2, it seems pretty certain that if this one does launch, it&#8217;ll also be playable on PC. We\u2019ll let you know if we hear anything more. <\/p>\n<p><h3 data-cy=\"title3\" class=\"title3 jsx-12333944 jsx-3517023867\" data-toc-title=\"Bonus: GTA 6 \"><strong>Bonus: GTA 6 &#8211; November 19, 2026 (Timed Console Exclusive) <\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\"><strong>Rockstar Games<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><output class=\"box-wrapper jsx-2673806401\" data-cy=\"article-video\"\/><\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">We&#8217;re straying away from first-party PlayStation titles, but its worth calling out what&#8217;s expected to be the biggest game launch of all time. While GTA 6 isn&#8217;t under PlayStation and won\u2019t be exclusive to the PS5, it will in fact be exclusive to consoles. That means you\u2019ll only be able to play it on the PS5 or Xbox Series X\/S for a yet to be announced window of time after its release. <\/p>\n<section class=\"box-wrapper jsx-2673806401\">\n<aside class=\"card jsx-2310533475 jsx-1178573261 box\" data-cy=\"aside\">\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\"><strong\/><strong>Now Up for Preorder &#8211; See What\u2019s Included in Each Edition<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/aside>\n<\/section>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\"><em>Blythe (she\/her) is an Audience Development Coordinator at IGN who spends way too much time in character customization screens and tracking down collectibles. <\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<center><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ign.com\/articles\/upcoming-ps5-games\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article At Source <\/a><br \/>\n<center\/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After what seemed like the end of console exclusives, Xbox and PlayStation are officially getting back into the game.
