Polygon highlights five PlayStation 5 games due in August 2026, arguing that the traditionally quieter summer release period remains busy. The selection spans action role-playing, fighting, American football, adventure and tactical strategy games, with Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls opening the month’s major releases and Star Wars Zero Company among those closing it.

Game Freak’s post-apocalyptic action RPG Beast of Reincarnation arrives on 4 August, followed by Arc System Works’ four-versus-four Marvel fighter on 6 August and Madden NFL 27 on 14 August. Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy and the Clone Wars-set, XCOM-inspired Star Wars Zero Company both release on 27 August; the latter includes turn-based tactics and permanent character deaths.
