These are the new PS5 games that launched since late September and the ones scheduled through October 24. The top pick is Final Fantasy Resonance on October 22, with Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 a day later and the Ghost of Yotei: Complete Edition already out.
Every date below appeared in at least two sources. I only list prices I could read in a source, and PlayStation Store prices were not readable, so check the PS Store.
About the Buy on G2A buttons: they go to PS5 marketplace keys (GLOBAL region) sold by independent sellers. PS5 listings on G2A sell out often and prices change hourly, so check the seller rating and region first. Games with no G2A listing have no button. Here is how to judge key stores.

- Out now: Ghost of Yotei: Complete Edition (Oct 1), Star Wars: Galactic Racer (Oct 6), Hellraiser: Revival, Mafia III PS5 and Kingdom Hearts Collection (Oct 8), Dragon’s Dogma 2: Dark Arisen (Oct 9).

Greedy Gary’s Take
My money goes to Final Fantasy Resonance. A full-price HD-2D Final Fantasy on PS5 is the main event of the next two weeks. If you own Ghost of Yotei, the $14.99 upgrade is the cheapest way to get more game right now.
I have not played any of these, so this is a release guide, not a review. For the big launches, wait for performance notes before you pre-load.
Keep digging: more new-release roundups: new PC games, new Switch 2 games and new cozy games. For PS5 savings, see where to buy cheap game keys, this week’s free games and the latest Daily Loot Report.
