The State of Every PlayStation Studio - July 2026

We’re implicit halfway done 2026 already, which means it’s clip to cheque successful connected each of Sony’s PlayStation Studios to spot what they’re making and what games are coming to your PS5 successful the months and years to come. While the console has received galore large third-party releases truthful acold this year, specified arsenic Resident Evil Requiem, 007 First Light, and Crimson Desert, lone 1 first-party crippled has made its mode into our hands: Housemarque’s latest shooter, Saros. It’s hard to disregard the biggest PlayStation quality of the twelvemonth truthful far, though: the determination to extremity the accumulation of discs from January 2028, which leaves a large question people implicit whether we’ll ever get carnal editions of immoderate of the games we’re astir to speech astir here.

This database is simply a mates of studios shorter than it was this clip past year, successful portion owed to the astonishing closure of Demon’s Souls and Shadow of the Colossus remake developer Bluepoint Games. You tin work what I deliberation astir that here, wherever I described it arsenic a “ PlayStation acquisition fearfulness story.” Another workplace that is reportedly nary much is Dark Outlaw Games, formed by Call of Duty seasoned Jason Blundell successful 2025, but supposedly already having been shuttered earlier this year.

So, which PlayStation studios person games launching soon, oregon astatine the precise slightest person secrets up their sleeves? Well, that’s precisely what we’re going to instrumentality a look astatine here. What are the developers down PlayStation’s highly respected room up to now? And however agelong volition it beryllium earlier we get to some spot and play their projects? Let’s excavation into what each workplace is doing, and erstwhile we tin realistically expect to spot caller games from them.

Naughty Dog

Naughty Dog’s attraction is present firmly connected Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet, a space-faring crippled with retro ‘80s vibes. After leaving the aboriginal of The Last of Us HBO amusement successful the hands of Craig Mazin, workplace caput and originative manager Neil Druckmann is present moving afloat steam up with his squad connected the Uncharted studio’s archetypal caller IP since 2013. But speech from a cinematic-heavy trailer astatine 2024’s Game Awards, we’ve seen precise small of this sci-fi story. And with a large State of Play watercourse having conscionable taken place, a batch of radical are asking the aforesaid question: Where is Intergalactic, and could Naughty Dog really beryllium skipping a full console generation?

What we bash cognize is that Intergalactic stars Tati Gabrielle arsenic Jordan A. Mun, a bounty huntsman who gets stranded connected a satellite portion connected the way of a transgression syndicate called the “Five Aces”. It’s besides rumoured to person a deeper combat strategy than immoderate erstwhile Naughty Dog game, with the uncover trailer giving america a tiny glimpse of its lightsaber-esque gameplay. Oh, and the euphony is being composed by Nine Inch Nails’ Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross. That’s ever a bully thing. Could this beryllium Sony’s large 2027 PS5 game? We tin surely hope, but we would emotion to spot immoderate gameplay earlier making specified assumptions.

It would look that this isn’t the lone robust Naughty Dog has successful the fire, with Druckmann teasing that the workplace has a second, unannounced crippled successful development. Could this beryllium The Last of Us Part 3? Uncharted 5? Something wholly different? Let america cognize what you deliberation successful the comments.

Santa Monica Studio

We yet cognize what Santa Monica Studio’s adjacent crippled is, acknowledgment to God of War Laufey’s uncover ending June’s State of Play with a bang. Placing Kratos’ wife, Faye, centre stage, Laufey looks to grow the Norse saga beyond its 9 realms and into the afterlife, arsenic she battles gods from galore antithetic mythologies. Telling a communicative that appears to tally parallel to God of War 2018, the combat is promised to blend the much modern, heavy-hitting enactment with the velocity and agility of the archetypal Greek games.

We inactive don’t cognize erstwhile we’ll beryllium playing it, but seeing arsenic the studio’s past AAA effort, God of War Ragnarok, was released successful precocious 2022, hopefully it won’t beryllium excessively overmuch longer to wait.

Insomniac Games

Marvel’s Wolverine is the adjacent PlayStation Studios exclusive to deed the PS5. Launching connected September 15, 2026, Logan’s ultraviolent escapade looks acceptable to beryllium much linear than the open-world Spidey games we’ve precocious seen from Insomniac, but from the gameplay we’ve seen, it shares the aforesaid slick enactment style. It volition people the extremity of a three-year hold for a caller Insomniac crippled — by nary means a agelong clip compared to however agelong astir AAA games instrumentality to marque these days, but a notable duration each the same, seeing arsenic Insomniac has been 1 of Sony’s astir productive studios implicit the past decade, launching aggregate Spider-Man and Ratchet and Clank entries.

This wait, of course, whitethorn beryllium successful portion owed to the monolithic information breach committed successful 2024 that saw overmuch of Insomniac’s expected aboriginal plans stolen and released to the public. Included successful that theft was the conception that a Venom crippled was besides successful improvement astatine the studio, and could person travel retired earlier Wolverine. That has been proven untrue arsenic of now, though.

Sucker Punch Productions

Sucker Punch followed up 2020’s Ghost of Tsushima with Ghost of Yotei connected October 2, 2025. Atsu’s communicative was well-received and is 1 of the finest showcases of the powerfulness of the PS5 to date. The Seattle workplace has besides already followed it up with Legends, the co-op multiplayer constituent of the Ghost series. As such, we wouldn’t expect to spot overmuch from the developer anytime soon, having been truthful engaged recently… adjacent if those Infamous remake/remaster rumours bash support popping up each present and then.

Guerrilla Games

Guerrilla followed up 2022’s Horizon: Forbidden West with the Burning Shores DLC 1 twelvemonth aboriginal arsenic it continued to physique retired Aloy’s story. With the West Coast-set sequel ending connected a cliffhanger, it’s not a agelong to expect the Amsterdam-based workplace to presently beryllium moving connected the 3rd portion of the trilogy. The improvement clip betwixt Zero Dawn and Forbidden West was 5 years, truthful we whitethorn beryllium getting adjacent to proceeding thing astir the series’ adjacent chapter.

Before that, though, Guerrilla volition merchandise its multiplayer spin-off, Horizon: Hunters Gathering. Described arsenic a “tactical three-player cooperative enactment game”, it takes the post-apocalyptic satellite of Horizon and paints it with a cartoon-like creation style. No merchandise day has been fixed arsenic of yet.

Housemarque

Saros lone conscionable arrived successful April, but if its predecessor, Returnal, is thing to spell by, we tin expect post-launch enactment for the Finnish studio’s latest looper shooter for immoderate clip yet. Returnal saw a situation operation mode added, arsenic good arsenic co-op enactment introduced successful the months pursuing its 2021 release, truthful possibly we tin expect thing similar. If reports are to beryllium believed, though, don’t expect Saros to travel to PC, arsenic Sony is believed to person reverted to its archetypal console-only exclusive approach, with PC nary longer a absorption for the company. So far, Saros is believed to person got disconnected to a “lukewarm start”, erstwhile it comes to sales, but we’ll spot however that develops passim 2026.

Haven Studios

Originally owed for merchandise successful 2025, Haven Studios’ multiplayer shooter Fairgames is obscurity to beryllium seen. It’s not been creaseless sailing for different of Sony’s planned live-service offerings, with manufacture seasoned Jade Raymond — who lone founded the workplace successful 2021 — leaving the task past year. Work is inactive ongoing connected the online heist game, but small to thing has been seen of it since the 2023 cinematic trailer reveal. We’re presently near waiting to spot what its gameplay really looks like. Rumours were abound earlier this summertime of a imaginable rebrand aft Sony patented the rubric “Break In”, though this inactive remains to beryllium seen.

Bend Studio

Bend has been beauteous quiescent since the merchandise of Days Gone mode backmost successful 2019, speech from giving america a remaster past year. But successful 2022 a fewer slithers of item were revealed astir what the Oregon workplace was presently moving connected – it shared that its caller crippled volition “build upon the open-world systems of Days Gone,” but won’t beryllium announced until “the clip is right”. Apart from knowing it won’t beryllium a continuation of Deacon St. John’s story, we truly cognize nothing.

And it’s been a rocky twelvemonth for the developer truthful far, with reports that a live-service crippled it had been moving connected had been scrapped by Sony, arsenic good arsenic layoffs impacting 30% of the squad arsenic it transitions to its adjacent project. Whether this caller crippled the reduced headcount is moving connected has thing to bash with those details revealed 4 years ago, oregon if the workplace is starting again from scratch, is unknown. Either way, we wouldn’t expect to perceive thing soon.

Media Molecule

Media Molecule spent astir of the past decennary moving connected Dreams, the crippled instauration and curation task that was released successful 2020. But arsenic a effect of important layoffs astatine the workplace successful 2024, unrecorded enactment for the crippled has present ended, with MM’s existent purpose being to guarantee “Dreams transitions into a self-sustaining platform”. There has since been nary quality connected what the developer’s adjacent task volition be.

Team Asobi

Team Asobi gave america 1 of 2024’s biggest games with the charmingly originative platformer Astro Bot. An ode to PlayStation history, it won galore awards and cemented itself arsenic 1 of the PS5’s precise champion offerings. Since then, the Japanese workplace has continued to enactment Astro Bot with regular updates and levels arsenic precocious arsenic this summer. But what next? Well, we wouldn’t beryllium amazed to spot different Astro crippled connected the way, fixed the captious and commercialized occurrence of the 2024 Game of the Year winner. There’s surely nary shortage of obscure PlayStation characters near to sprinkle done much of those colourful levels.

Polyphony Digital

Polyphony has been making Gran Turismo for implicit 25 years now, truthful it would surely beryllium a daze to spot it veer from that racing enactment successful the adjacent future. GT7 came retired astir 4 and a fractional years agone now, meaning possibly the clip is approaching for the uncover of the studio’s adjacent racing sim.

San Diego Studio

Similarly, San Diego Studio is good established arsenic the MLB The Show developer. This year’s introduction lone dropped successful March, truthful we tin expect to spot different adjacent Spring if past is thing to spell by.

Firesprite

Firesprite astir precocious developed Horizon: Call of the Mountain for PSVR 2, pursuing the studio’s new-found absorption connected VR games. There person been reports suggesting that Firesprite was moving connected a live-service Twisted Metal game, which has since been canceled. Instead, astatine June’s State of Play, it was revealed that the squad is moving connected Until Dawn 2, a follow-up to Supermassive’s fearfulness hit. This clip taking spot connected a tropical island, let’s spot if it tin seizure the magic of the archetypal erstwhile it releases successful 2027.

teamLFG

Formed successful 2025 arsenic portion of PlayStation Studios, teamLFG was spun retired of Bungie to make a caller team-based enactment crippled that draws inspiration from warring games, platformers, MOBAs, beingness sims, and "frog-type games”. As to what a frog-type crippled is, your conjecture is arsenic bully arsenic ours, but the task has been described arsenic letting players “inhabit a lighthearted, comedic satellite acceptable successful a brand-new, mythic, science-fantasy universe”. This 1 doesn’t look excessively acold on the accumulation pipeline, though, truthful we aren’t expecting to perceive much anytime soon.

That’s everything we cognize astir upcoming first-party PlayStation games, and the information is that precise fewer merchandise dates look to beryllium coming up quickly. Of course, this tin and apt volition alteration soon, and with GTA 6 looming connected the skyline successful November, it does marque consciousness that galore publishers are waiting for Rockstar to unleash their powerhouse earlier they marque their ain moves. That said, that doesn’t forestall 2026 and beyond from inactive looking comparatively bare erstwhile it comes to PS5 exclusives. Let’s anticipation that the outlook volition look a batch brighter soon, not lone for players waiting for caller games to play, but for the developers who enactment truthful hard to present them to us.
