PlayStation 5 gamers have 11 high-profile new games releasing in September 2025 that they should mark their calendars for. The PlayStation 5 has had a steady stream of new games since the console's debut in 2020, ensuring that there is always something new to play. Even so, the summer months are notoriously slow when it comes to new video game releases, and the PS5 is not immune to that phenomenon.
That's not to say that there haven't been major new PS5 games released this summer. In fact, Death Stranding 2: On the Beach released for PS5 in June as an exclusive game and has become one of the highest-rated new releases of the year. Still, the next few months are going to be absolutely ridiculous for the PS5, as the fall gaming rush is about to go into full swing.
All Big Upcoming PS5 Games For 2026 & Beyond
From JRPGs to platform, racing, and open-world titles, here are all the big new PS5 games releasing in 2026 and later.
There are a bunch of major PS5 games releasing in the lead-up to the holiday season. September is getting things started with a bang, as the month will be home to at least 11 big PS5 games representing a wide variety of genres. This is not a comprehensive list of every single new PS5 game releasing in September, but it does shine a spotlight on the ones that will likely drum up the most excitement among fans.
