7 Major PS5 Games Releasing in May 2026: Complete Release List

Four months into 2026, PlayStation 5 owners already have multiple must-play titles. Now, gamers have even more PS5 games to look forward to in the immediate future.

However, before May begins, Sony will drop one more massive exclusive. Housemarque releases its action-packed third-person shooter/roguelike game, Saros, on April 30. Reviews currently praise Saros heavily. Critics already consider it one of the highest-rated new releases of 2026.

Major PS5 Games Releasing in May 2026 Next month brings seven big titles to the console. First, ‘Mixtape’ hits the scene on May 7. This game will specifically target fans of titles like ‘Life is Strange’.

Furthermore, May 12 delivers a double-header. Players will get ‘Call of the Elder Gods’, a puzzle/adventure sequel to ‘Call of the Sea’. On the exact same day, ‘Directive 8020’ arrives. This sci-fi horror title serves as the next installment in the ‘Dark Pictures’ anthology series.

Consequently, the action continues mid-month. A native PS5 release of ‘Darksiders: Warmastered Edition’ drops on May 19. This remaster blends ‘God of War’ action with ‘Zelda’ adventure. Shortly after, the controversial platforming mascot Bubsy returns in ‘Bubsy 4D’ on May 22.

Additionally, the heaviest hitters launch late in the month. ‘LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight’ arrives alongside Bubsy on May 22. This title marks the first major LEGO game in years and the first LEGO Batman release since 2018.

Finally, IO Interactive releases its James Bond game, ‘007 First Light’, on May 27. The ‘Hitman’ developer aims to match the high bar set by legendary past James Bond games.
