The PS5 Release Schedule for Fall 2026 Is Now Beyond a Joke

We suspected September would be packed with game releases, but now that the major summer gaming events are over – like State of Play, Summer Game Fest, and the Xbox showcase – the entire fall season looks incredibly busy.

I’ve rarely seen so many big game releases happen so close together, especially on the PS5. It’s incredible how many major titles are coming out in just over a month!

The main reason for this is the upcoming release of GTA 6. It’s arguably the most hyped game of all time, and other game publishers are deliberately avoiding releasing their own games around the same time to avoid being overshadowed.

Rockstar’s new open-world game is scheduled to release on November 19th, and it looks like that date is now confirmed. This has caused a rush of other game releases trying to launch before the hype begins, making September and October unusually crowded with new titles.

Let’s quickly review the upcoming game releases. We’ve compiled a list of all the major PS5 games scheduled to launch from late August through October.

August

  • Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol. 2 – 27th August
  • Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy – 27th August
  • Star Wars Zero Company – 27th August
  • Captain Tsubasa 2: World Fighters – 28th August

September

  • The Blood of Dawnwalker – 3rd September
  • Halloween – 8th September
  • Marvel’s Wolverine – 15th September
  • RuneScape: Dragonwilds – 15th September
  • Trails in the Sky 2nd Chapter – 17th September
  • Dune: Awakening – 22nd September
  • Silent Hill: Townfall – 24th September
  • Control Resonant – 24th September
  • Valor Mortis – 24th September
  • Hot Wheels: Infinite Rush – 24th September
  • Onimusha: Way of the Sword – 25th September
  • Gothic 2 Complete Classic – 29th September
  • Minecraft Dungeons 2 – 29th September
  • Samson: A Tyndalston Story – September

October

  • Dynasty Warriors 3: Complete Edition Remastered – 1st October
  • End of Abyss – 1st October
  • Rayman Legends Retold – 1st October
  • Rayman Origins: Enhanced Edition – 1st October
  • Ace Combat 8: Wings of Theve – 2nd October
  • Star Wars: Galactic Racer – 6th October
  • Planet Zoo 2 – 13th October
  • Castlevania: Belmont’s Curse – 15th October
  • Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 – 23rd October
  • Phantom Blade Zero – 29th October
  • No Rest for the Wicked – October

September is already a busy month for game releases, and it recently got even more crowded when Phantom Blade Zero—a highly anticipated title—was pushed back to October. It was initially scheduled to launch on September 9th.

So, the big question is whether we can expect similar delays for other games as well. Are publishers honestly confident that their release schedules are still realistic?

While someone like Wolverine might be fine, think about games like Control, Resonant, or Onimusha, and even Silent Hill. There’s a lot of other strong competition out there.

I’m curious what would happen if GTA 6 was delayed again. Would other game developers rush to release their titles and fill the gap in November?

Here’s what the gaming landscape is shaping up to be like in autumn 2026. Be prepared to spend some money, and let us know which PS5 games you’re most excited about in the comments!
