PlayStation’s Gamescom 2026 recap Official PlayStation Podcast> confirms several upcoming releases and trials for players on Sony consoles JEU.VIDEO>: Into the Radius 2 on PS VR2, a PS5 demo for Onimusha: Way of the Sword and 4 games joining the PlayStation Plus selection.
Into the Radius 2 targets PS VR2 on September 24
Into the Radius 2 is announced for PS VR2 on September 24. PlayStation highlights a full single-player campaign, co-op play, a revamped loading system and a major overhaul of the weapons. The announcement gives PS VR2 owners a clear release date and an outline of the sequel’s content, but it does not specify the year attached to that date, the price or the exact launch arrangements.
Onimusha offers a PS5 trial before launch
A PS5 demo for Onimusha: Way of the Sword will be released before the game’s launch, scheduled for September 4. The trial will notably let players face Daidara, a boss presented as an addition specific to this demo.
That gives PS5 players a chance to discover part of the game before release, although the announcement does not state when the demo will be available. Its duration, full contents and availability on other platforms also remain unspecified.
4 games join the PlayStation Plus selection
The selection includes Sniper Elite: Resistance on PS5 and PS4, MLB The Show 26 on PS5, Wobbly Life on PS5 and PS4, and Chained Echoes on PS4.
PlayStation names the games and their compatible consoles, but this recap does not give the exact availability period, the required subscription tier or possible regional differences. No price is confirmed in the publication.
A recap rather than the full Gamescom programme
PlayStation also looks back at Opening Night Live, mentioning first announcements, updates and demos for games planned for PS5 this year and beyond. The post does not detail every title shown during the event, so it should be read as a selection of highlights rather than a complete programme.
For now, the firmest information concerns the PS VR2 release of Into the Radius 2, the upcoming Onimusha demo on PS5 and the 4 PlayStation Plus games. The years associated with the September 24 and September 4 dates, along with the Plus schedule, still require clarification.
