Summary
– PlayStation 5 has 11 major games launching in March 2026
– Marathon, WWE 2K26, and MLB The Show 26 headline early month releases
– Crimson Desert and Life is Strange: Reunion close out packed schedule
PlayStation 5 is heading into one of its busiest months of 2026, with eleven significant titles scheduled to launch in March.
Sony’s console has already seen steady activity this year with free-to-play launches and major releases. February wraps with Resident Evil Requiem on February 27, setting the stage for an even stronger lineup in March.
The month begins March 5 with Marathon, the extraction shooter from Bungie, launching alongside Planet of Lana 2: Children of the Leaf. March 12 brings a crowded release day featuring Fatal Frame 2: Crimson Butterfly Remake, GreedFall 2: The Dying World, and Toxic Commando. The following day, Monster Hunter Stories 3: Twisted Reflection and WWE 2K26 join the lineup.
March 17 sees the arrival of MLB The Show 26, followed by Crimson Desert and Mouse: P.I. for Hire on March 19. The month concludes on March 26 with Life is Strange: Reunion.
Marathon stands out for its multi-platform release strategy, despite being developed by Sony-owned Bungie. The game’s live-service approach has drawn attention, and its performance could shape future PlayStation Studios strategies.
Crimson Desert is widely viewed as the month’s largest release. The open-world fantasy title aims to deliver a massive environment comparable in scale to genre heavyweights. Whether it meets expectations will become clear once players get hands-on.
Life is Strange: Reunion is also generating anticipation, bringing back fan-favorite characters Max Caulfield and Chloe Price. Meanwhile, Mouse: P.I. for Hire offers a distinct visual identity with its rubberhose-inspired art style.
March 2026 is one of the most diverse release windows for PS5 this year, spanning shooters, RPGs, sports titles, and narrative-driven adventures.
