A selection of highly anticipated PlayStation 5 (PS5) exclusives is set to launch in the coming years, featuring a mix of AAA first-party titles and multiplayer games. Among these are notable entries like Marvel’s Wolverine, developed by Insomniac Games, and Saros, from Housemarque. As the console continues to grow in popularity, the lineup for 2026 and beyond promises to be robust, catering to a wide range of gaming preferences.
Several games have been confirmed for release, many with specific launch windows. The upcoming titles include both PS5 exclusives and console exclusives that will also be available on PC. The anticipated games are as follows:

– Phantom Blade 0 – September 9, 2026
– Marvel’s Wolverine – Fall 2026
– Fairgame$ – Release date TBC
– Ballad of Antara – Release date TBC

The game’s narrative and gameplay mechanics have generated buzz among fans. Saros, which was showcased during a State of Play event in February 2025, builds upon the action systems familiar to players of Returnal. In this title, players will experience a world that changes after each death, allowing them to upgrade their character’s loadout permanently and adapt to the evolving challenges presented in the game.
Another title, Ballad of Antara, is an action role-playing game featuring multiple playable characters, known as “Emissaries,” who can traverse both ordinary and extraordinary realms. Each character has unique gameplay abilities and storylines. Although initially slated for a 2025 release, the game has since been delayed without an updated launch date.

The excitement surrounding Marvel’s Wolverine is palpable, especially considering Insomniac’s previous successes with the Spider-Man franchise. While details remain scarce, full gameplay footage has revealed a promising experience set to arrive in Fall 2026.
On the competitive front, Fairgame$ offers a unique twist in the form of a heist game, where players join a movement to redistribute wealth from the ultra-rich. Currently, no gameplay has been released, nor is there a confirmed release date, but it will be available on both PS5 and PC.
Another highly anticipated title, Phantom Blade 0, combines fast-paced action with cinematic quick-time events, featuring intense boss battles as players navigate a fractured landscape seeking revenge. This game is set for release on September 9, 2026.
Lastly, Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet, a recent reveal from Naughty Dog, is described as a sci-fi epic. The game will follow the journey of Jordan A. Mun, a bounty hunter stranded on a mysterious planet, and is being developed exclusively for PS5.
As the gaming community looks forward to these upcoming titles, the PS5 is poised to solidify its position as a leading platform for high-quality gaming experiences. With a mix of established franchises and innovative new entries, Sony’s future lineup is set to captivate gamers worldwide.
