Maybe it&#8217;s the nature of my job, or maybe it&#8217;s just my attention span, but I am terrible for just playing 10 hours or so of a game and then moving on to the next thing. So in 2026, I really want to knuckle down with whatever I pick up and actually start finishing games.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Graham_Banas\"><\/span>Graham Banas<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>My big thing for the upcoming year is to catch back up on my backlog. I was in a huge rut at the start of 2025, and I lost a ton of ground on keeping pace with the games I&#8217;d like to play. I have so many meatier games that I want to finish that I&#8217;ve made little to no progress on, and that&#8217;s got to change. And that&#8217;s to say nothing of upcoming releases, too!<\/p>\n<p>Another thing I&#8217;ve been meaning to do is replay the PS5 versions of both Last of Us titles, and I&#8217;ve been actively playing Part 2, so I should have no trouble achieving this one.<\/p>\n<p>I also need to make more time to spend with my <strong>PSVR2<\/strong>. I like to use it for rhythm games as an exercise supplement, and I really need to get back in the habit of doing it on the regular instead of once in a while.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Jamie_ONeill\"><\/span>Jamie O&#8217;Neill<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>I had a specific retro gaming resolution to play PS1 games from 1997 last year, so I&#8217;ve decided upon a modern PlayStation New Year resolution for 2026. My plan is to play 12 PS5 games that aren&#8217;t available on PS4, so I&#8217;ll focus on games released for the ninth generation of video game consoles.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve tried to research games that run offline straight from the physical disc, and don&#8217;t need any download to run the game. I want to play at least ten hours each month, so 120 hours playtime on ninth generation PS5 games overall.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s still early days, so my provisional list of 12 PS5 games is Astro Bot (2024), Deathloop (2021), Final Fantasy VII Rebirth (2024), Ghost of Yotei (2025), Gotham Knights (2022), Need for Speed Unbound (2022), Ninja Gaiden 4 (2025), Ratchet &amp; Clank: Rift Apart (2021), Returnal (2021), RoboCop: Rogue City (2023), Silent Hill F (2025) and Tekken 8 (2024).<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Liam_Croft\"><\/span>Liam Croft<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>In 2026, I want to play a wider range of titles, but of a certain type: the kinds of ones perfect for the <strong>PS Portal<\/strong> I recently bought. It feels a bit weird playing visual novels on a huge 4K TV, so it&#8217;s this genre, along with slower, turn-based games, that I want to fill my time playing in between the bigger releases.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve got the entire Ace Attorney series to catch up on. I&#8217;ve always been intrigued by these Zero Escape games. I call Final Fantasy X one of my favourite RPGs, but I&#8217;ve never actually finished it. The PS Portal makes these games so much more accessible.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, I really need to get started with this blasted Trails franchise. I actually already own roughly half the games because of my job, but it&#8217;s such an intimidating run of titles to start. I&#8217;ve gotta get on Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter sooner rather than later.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Sammy_Barker\"><\/span>Sammy Barker<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>I\u2019ve got a confession to make: I used to play <em>everything<\/em> from Sony first-party. No matter the title, it was non-negotiable. But as the <strong>Push Square<\/strong> team has grown, and I\u2019ve started to find comfort in live service games, I\u2019ve actually amassed a bit of a PS Studios backlog. Whisper it, but I\u2019ve still only played like 30 minutes of Marvel\u2019s Spider-Man 2. And I never finished Astro Bot either.<\/p>\n<p>My goal for 2026 is to change that trend. I\u2019ll polish off the aforementioned and then march my way through Death Stranding 2: On the Beach and Ghost of Yotei.<\/p>\n<p>Between the apocalyptic release schedule and my continued commitment to gacha games, I\u2019m not entirely sure when I\u2019ll get time. But it\u2019s good to have a goal, isn\u2019t it?<\/p>\n<hr>\n<p>Those are some of our New Year\u2019s Resolutions for PS5, then, but we\u2019re primarily publishing this article because we want to hear from you.
