Playstation 5 Games

PlayStation 5 games cover everything from big cinematic adventures to competitive multiplayer, with a catalogue that keeps growing. If you are shopping for new PS5 games, PS5 exclusive games, or simply PS5 game deals, the most reliable way to buy well is to start with how you actually play. Do you want a long single-player story, a quick-play title you can pick up for 20 minutes, or a game that works when friends are over? Read More...

This page brings together PlayStation 5 games across genres, including action adventure, shooters, sports, racing, RPGs and family-friendly favourites. If you are browsing across platforms first, Gaming is the simplest hub to explore before narrowing down to PS5.

A strong PS5 library usually mixes game types. Story-led games and open-world adventures suit longer sessions where progress builds over time. Roguelikes, fighters and arcade-style titles suit shorter bursts because the rules are clear and restarts are quick. If you are buying as a gift, matching the play style matters more than chasing what is trending.

It also helps to think about who is playing. Some games are designed for one player, some shine in two-player co-op, and others are built around online matchmaking. The listing notes are the quickest way to confirm whether a game supports single-player, local multiplayer, or online play, and whether it is aimed at adults, teenagers, or younger players.

PS5 co-op games can become the most-used purchases in a household because they turn spare time into something shared. Look for “local co-op” or “split-screen” if you want two people on one console, rather than two consoles in the same room. If you expect regular couch play, a second controller is often the add-on that makes everything smoother.

Game Controllers is the best place to choose a compatible extra pad without guesswork.

Online features vary by title, but PlayStation Plus memberships include online multiplayer access. Some free-to-play titles do not require it, so treat this as a per-game check. For longer sessions with friends, comfort matters as much as audio quality, so it is worth thinking about fit and microphone clarity rather than chasing “loud” sound.

Gaming Headsets is useful when you want clearer chat and a mic that stays easy to live with.

PS5 games are sold as physical discs and digital downloads. Discs suit collections and lending, and they can be convenient if you like to swap between games. Digital is tidy and instant once downloaded, and it is the only option if you have a PS5 Digital Edition. Larger installs and updates mean storage planning matters, especially if you keep several games installed at once.

When you are buying, check whether a listing is a boxed disc, a download code, or an edition that includes extra content. That quick format check prevents the most common disappointment, and it also helps when you are buying for someone else.

If you are moving from PS4 to PS5, the overwhelming majority of PS4 games are playable on PS5 consoles. Some titles also support cross-generation multiplayer, meaning PS4 and PS5 players can play together when the game enables it.

For releases that exist on both generations, compare the PS4 and PS5 versions because features and bundled content can differ. If an upgrade is offered from a PS4 edition to a PS5 edition, the rules vary. Upgrading an eligible PS4 game disc to the digital PS5 version requires a PS5 console with a disc drive, because PS4 game discs cannot be used with a PS5 Digital Edition.

If you are still buying for an older console, PlayStation 4 Games keeps that library separate.

Many PS5 listings include edition labels such as standard, deluxe, definitive, or collector’s edition. The difference is usually extra content such as DLC, a season pass, cosmetics, or bundled expansions, so it is worth scanning the listing for what is included. If you are gifting, this is also where you can avoid buying the base game when someone really wants the complete edition.

Age suitability matters too. PEGI ratings and content descriptors give a quick read on what is appropriate, particularly for family purchases and younger players.

If you are starting from scratch, find variety first: one longer story-led game, one quick-play favourite, and one multiplayer option. That mix covers most moods and keeps the console feeling useful, whether you have ten minutes or a full evening.

If you want to browse other platforms and generations as well, Console Games is the best hub to keep compatibility clear while you compare different libraries.
