We are in the last few days of 2025 and the next year is going to be busy for gamers across the world. Multiple games are slated to release next year and some of these are PS5 exclusives. This means that only people who own a PS5 will be able to experience these titles when they launch. And these games are designed to be lived in, talked about, and remembered long after the credits roll. For anyone who has grown up with PlayStation or simply found comfort in its worlds during long nights and stressful days, 2026 feels like a year full of promise. Here are some PS5 exclusives to look forward to next year.

Marvel’s Wolverine
After months of silence, Marvel’s Wolverine finally feels close enough to touch. Developed by Insomniac Games, the studio that gave us some epic superhero games like Spider-Man, this is not a bright, quippy adventure swinging through New York. Wolverine is shaping up to be something heavier, and more personal.
Slated for a Fall 2026 release, the game is built on the same technical backbone as Spider-Man 2, but the tone could not be more different. Logan’s world appears brutal, intimate, and unforgiving. Combat leans into raw claw-based aggression, with close-quarters fights that feel messy in the best possible way. Stealth mechanics are expected to add another layer, encouraging players to stalk enemies rather than overpower them outright.
Phantom Blade Zero
If Marvel’s Wolverine represents controlled fury, Phantom Blade Zero appears to be pure motion. Developed by S-GAME, this cinematic action RPG has been turning heads since its first reveal, and it is easy to see why. Set to release on September 9, 2026, Phantom Blade Zero feels like a game that refuses to slow down.
You play as an elite assassin with just 66 days to live. That ticking clock is not just a narrative hook, it is woven into the pacing and urgency of the game. Combat is expected to be fast, stylish, and almost hypnotic, with fluid animations that blur the line between gameplay and choreography.
The semi-open world will also be filled with supernatural threats and striking boss encounters that are designed to test both reflexes and patience. For PS5 owners craving something bold and visually distinct, this could be one of 2026’s most talked-about exclusives.
Saros
Housemarque has always been a studio that thrives on momentum. After the critical success of Returnal, expectations are understandably high, and Saros looks ready to meet them. Arriving on March 20, 2026, Saros is a high-octane sci-fi shooter that blends relentless action with a deeper narrative core.
You step into the role of Arjun Devraj, exploring the hostile alien planet of Carcosa. Combat is expected to be intense and rhythmic, built around movement, precision, and survival under pressure. But unlike a straightforward shooter, Saros appears to lean heavily into atmosphere and storytelling. The world is expected to be oppressive, mysterious, and alive in ways that constantly keep you on edge.
In all, Saros looks like the kind of game that rewards focus and persistence. For fans of challenging PS5 exclusives, this could be another defining experience.
