PS5 games releasing in October 2026

Rayman Legends Retold

Rayman Legends Retold is a bold reimagining of the beloved Ubisoft platformer, rebuilt with new visuals and a retold story. Play solo or in up to 4-player couch co-op as you explore a mysterious new realm, tackle brand-new musical stages, and rediscover everything that made the original a classic, now brought to life on current-gen hardware.

Ace Combat 8: Wings of Theve

The next mainline entry in Bandai Namco's storied aerial combat series, Ace Combat 8: Wings of Theve drops you into the cockpit as a fighter pilot known only as "Wings of Theve", a legendary name built on myth, now yours to live up to. Set in July 2029, the Federation of Central Usea has been overrun by the Republic of Sotoa, and you must fight alongside three new squadmates to reclaim your homeland. The game features an intense story campaign, powerful weaponry, and both single-player and multiplayer modes. It is available as a standard edition and a Deluxe Edition (which includes the Customizable Cosmetic Set and the Playable Aircraft: F-14A add-on content).

Star Wars: Galactic Racer

Star Wars: Galactic Racer is a runs-based, high-stakes racing game set in the lawless Outer Rim of the Star Wars universe. With the Empire gone and the galaxy rebuilding, an underground unsanctioned racing circuit called The Galactic League has emerged, bankrolled by syndicates and built for chaos. Featuring both single-player and multiplayer modes, it's a fresh reinvention of Star Wars racing for the modern era.

Silver Pines

Silver Pines is a survival horror game set in small-town America, blending classic resource management, puzzle-solving, and intense combat against nightmarish creatures. You'll need to carefully ration scarce supplies as you explore the town and unravel the mysteries that might hold the key to redemption. If you're a fan of the classic Resident Evil-style formula, Silver Pines looks to be a compelling indie entry in the genre.

Dragon's Dogma II: Dark Arisen

Dragon's Dogma II: Dark Arisen is a complete bundle that includes both Dragon's Dogma II and its Dark Arisen expansion, releasing together on October 9. The Dark Arisen expansion content is also available separately for those who already own the base game. This is the definitive way to experience Capcom's acclaimed open-world action RPG, offering hundreds of hours of adventure, deep Pawn AI, and expanded endgame content from the expansion.

Final Fantasy Resonance

Final Fantasy Resonance returns to the pixel-art aesthetic of classic Final Fantasy, evolved for modern platforms. Follow Rain and Lasswell, commanders of an airship squadron, as they're thrust into an epic quest after witnessing the shattering of the Earth Crystal by a mysterious armored figure. Players travel with companions bound by fate and call on Visions to aid them in turn-based battle, uncovering the truth behind a force threatening to unravel the world. A Digital Deluxe Edition is also available with additional content.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 is the follow-up to Modern Warfare III (2023), continuing the rebooted storyline with a gripping campaign set during a North Korean invasion of South Korea. The story offers two perspectives: Private Park, a young South Korean soldier facing his first combat deployment, and the iconic Captain Price waging a personal, off-book war from the shadows. Multiplayer returns with classic 6v6 maps, large-scale vehicle combat, and the new Kill Block dynamic map system that reshapes layouts between rounds, alongside a DMZ extraction mode.

Breach Signal

Breach Signal is a 1-6 player co-op psychological horror game where you operate as part of a special unit working for a shadowy organization called The Agency. Your squad leads expeditions into strange, unsettling locations to investigate mysterious anomalies that threaten the fabric of reality. With its emphasis on co-operative tension and liminal horror, it's a standout multiplayer pick for fans of the genre this October.

Anomalith

Anomalith is a survival third-person shooter set in Japan, steeped in the eerie atmosphere of liminal spaces and Showa-era retro aesthetics. A young girl steps into a world writhing with anomalies in search of her missing friend, battling unsettling creatures across uncanny, half-remembered environments. The game blends shooter and light RPG mechanics against a backdrop that feels both nostalgic and deeply unsettling.

Phantom Blade 0

One of the most anticipated PS5 exclusives of the year, Phantom Blade 0 is a fast-paced, stylish action RPG from S-GAME. You play as Soul, a warrior framed for the murder of his master and left with a ruined heart, giving him only sixty-six days to live. Hunted by former comrades, Soul must navigate a world of shifting loyalties and silent blades to unravel the conspiracy that condemned him. The game launches as both a standard edition and a Digital Deluxe Edition with additional content.

October 2026 offers an impressive spread across genres on PS5. Whether you're gearing up for the annual Call of Duty launch, diving into the wuxia world of Phantom Blade 0, or exploring the galaxy in Star Wars: Galactic Racer, there's no shortage of reasons to clear your gaming schedule this month.
