5 Must-Play PS5 Games Arriving in June 2026

Last month was a whirlwind for PlayStation 5 owners, marked by a rapid-fire succession of major titles like Mixtape, Lego Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight, and 007 First Light. As we head into June, the industry’s pace understandably shifts, with the spotlight turning toward grand unveilings at events like Summer Game Fest and Sony’s State of Play. Despite this transition, there is still plenty of fresh content hitting the PS5 to keep your gaming calendar packed.

From high-octane subway skating to a sophisticated HD-2D RPG, this month’s lineup offers something for every type of player. Here are five standout titles arriving on PS5 this June, organized by their debut dates.

1
Gothic 1 Remake

Release date: June 5

While we eagerly await further expansions for The Witcher 3, the Gothic 1 Remake offers the perfect fantasy fix this month. This meticulous reconstruction of the 2001 classic transports players to the perilous, magically sealed Valley of Mines—a lawless territory teeming with complex, branching narratives. Our recent preview highlighted its unique charm: “25 years after the original, this title feels remarkably distinct. My early experiences in the Old Camp leave me confident that the full Gothic 1 Remake experience will be as brilliantly harsh as it is compelling.”

Denshattack!

Release date: June 17

Imagine a skating game where your board is swapped for a high-speed locomotive rivaling the velocity of Sonic himself. Denshattack! tasks you with pulling off rails, grinds, and flips across a climate-ravaged, futuristic Japan while managing vital supply shipments. The train-centric focus is far from a gimmick; developer David Jaumandreu explains that the team’s passion for skating and Japanese rail culture is at the heart of the project: “We wanted to combine our love for skating with our genuine fascination with Japanese trains.”

3
Adventures of Elliot

Release date: June 18

Fans of Octopath Traveler and the gorgeous HD-2D aesthetic have a new obsession on the horizon. The Adventures of Elliot: The Millennium Tales breathes fresh life into the genre by trading traditional turn-based systems for exhilarating, real-time action. After getting hands-on with the demo last month, it has quickly vaulted to the top of our summer must-play list. “The gameplay loop is incredibly polished; the hour I spent with the game felt like it passed in a heartbeat,” our preview noted.

4
Hell Let Loose: Vietnam

Release date: June 18

The acclaimed large-scale tactical shooter moves into the jungle with Hell Let Loose: Vietnam. Centered on a tense, tug-of-war-style Warfare mode, success here relies less on twitch reflexes and more on tactical positioning and team coordination. It’s a far cry from the casual chaos of arcade shooters, offering a grounded, authentic experience that we found to be “perhaps the most immersive and realistic combat simulator available.”

5
Dead or Alive 6: Last Round

Release date: June 25

Koei Tecmo’s recent confirmation that a new entry is in the works has fans excited, but in the interim, we’re getting a remastered revisit to the series’ most recent outing. Dead or Alive 6: Last Round arrives with both free-to-play and premium options, maintaining the polished, accessible combat mechanics the 2019 original was known for. However, as noted in previous assessments, the series’ penchant for over-the-top character design continues to be a point of contention that sometimes overshadows the technical depth of the fighting system.
