New PS5 games January 2026 List Revealed

While 2026 is already stacked with various news of AAA titles, January brings a breath of fresh air as we'll get to see seven new games of different genres on PlayStation. Let's kick off this list with an action-RPG title:

The Legend of Heroes: Trails Beyond the Horizon

JRPG fans can get their hands on yet another Trails series, which ensures the entry of three new protagonists. The upcoming turn-based gameplay is sure to surpass its earlier iterations. Moreover, the engaging field battles and command battles engage users in a dynamic combat system.

This title will let you uncover ancient secrets in a journey beyond the horizon of Zemuria. While you wait for this game's arrival, you can try the demo on the Steam platform right now.

It could also prove to be one of the best PS5 games for kids.

BrokenLore: Unfollow

If you're a fan of survival horror elements like me, then you must be excited for this long-anticipated title from Serafini Productions. Let's be honest, this genre is quite popular, and several developers have achieved success with titles like Resident Evil, Silent Hill, and more. However, the psychological horror content BrokenLore: Unfollow provides is on another level.

The title explores one of the popular topics of this generation: the effects of social media on mental health. Anna, the protagonist, tries to break away from a nightmare and faces her past bad decisions.

MIO: Memories in Orbit

The Memories in Orbit title is something new from Focus Entertainment. The Metroidvania platform game offers excellent visuals, with the protagonist exploring a vessel named MIO. While the robot goes on a journey to uncover MIO's true destiny, the character needs to save the vessel's inhabitants from other evil robots. In simple words, if you've liked Hollow Knight: Silksong's gameplay, you'll also like this. On the flip side, if you don't own a PS5, let me tell you, the game will be available in Xbox Game Pass from day one.

Arknights: Endfield

Hypergryph's Arknights: Endfield is one of the most-anticipated RPG titles, especially among gacha fans. The prequel of the popular Arknight series is a F2P (free-to-play) tower-defense action RPG title. With the help of brand-new characters, you must lead Endfield Industries to build, defend, and fight against mysterious creatures of Talos-II. You must showcase your creativity by building unique bases and crafting pivotal items that'll eventually help you survive till the endgame.

I hate This Place

Featuring an 80s horror aesthetic, the comic book-inspired isometric open world title immerses you into a world with nightmarish creatures. Similar to a few horror-survival titles, this one features a dynamic day and night system, where players must explore ranches prioritising the daytime.

Meanwhile, you must go outside the ranch to collect resources to upgrade your facilities at the base.

With a pure combination of stealth and gunplay action, it's worth your time. While you wait for the game to go live, we recommend that you check out the demo on Steam first.
