Best Games For PS5 

PlayStation Plus Collection

The first thing that you would want to do after firing up your console is to subscribe to PlayStation Plus (if you haven’t already done so for your previous-gen PlayStation consoles) and gain access to the PlayStation Plus Collection. Sony has grouped together some of the finest titles ever to have graced the PS4 over the years and offer the collection of games for PS5 owners to play immediately. They include the likes of The Last of Us Remastered, Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End, God of War, Bloodborne, Final Fantasy XV Royal Edition, Persona 5, and many more. Even if you have played some of these games before on the PS4, these classics warrant a second playthrough on the new, more powerful hardware.

Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales

This is a must-get game for the PS5. Sony opened their PS5 reveal event in June with a bang with snippets from Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales and this game will be one of the first few to showcase PS5’s power. Besides, who doesn’t love swinging around New York City as Spiderman? This marquee title serves as a follow-up to 2018’s best-selling Marvel’s Spider-Man for the PS4, but if you haven’t played that game, you can get the Ultimate Edition which bundles the two games together for the complete experience.

The cult classic is being remade for the new-gen system, eleven years later. This is the original entry in the fan-favourite “Souls” series that caused a lot of torn hair, smashed furniture, and broken controllers.

But be warned – you will die, and you will die again, but this time in glorious 4K (or 8K). Just don’t smash your new DualSense controller against the wall.

AC Valhalla will build on the role-playing elements first introduced in AC Origins and expanded with AC Odyssey.

Watch Dogs: Legion

Here’s another open-world game for the PS5 to pour hundreds of hours into. What sets Watch Dogs: Legion apart from every other open-world game is that you do not only play as a central character throughout the whole game, but you can play as anyone. Yes, anyone that appears in fictional London that is the setting of the game. That construction worker toiling away at the new building site? You can play as him and all his tools will be at your disposal. The unassuming old lady who is actually an undercover spy? She can be at your service. If that doesn’t sound enticing enough, all the hacking tools and modern gadgetry offered by the game for you to “take back London” from modern-day oppression in the age of futuristic technology serve a unique gameplay experience unlike any other.
