Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart
Ratchet and Clank have long been a staple for the PlayStation and Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart is a perfect example of why. Therefore, this game breathes new life into the series and introduces awesome new characters.
It takes full advantage of the PS5’s performance and controller prowess. If you’ve ever enjoyed a Ratchet and Clank game, Rift Apart is well worth picking up.
Amazon Price: $69.00
Marvel’s Spider-Man Miles Morales
The original Marvel’s Spider-Man for PS4 was an incredible game. Miles Morales takes the concept and runs with it, improving on graphics, and delving deeper into the character that we now know and love.
The game isn’t quite as built-out as the original, and as such the main story may only take you 10-15 hours. But it’s still absolutely worth buying, especially for completionists that could get much more out of the game.

Resident Evil Village
With almost universal praise, Resident Evil Village is one of the most beloved horror games released in recent years, and one of the best Resident Evil games ever made. It combines the vivid horror storytelling of Resident Evil VII with the beloved combat and structure of Resident Evil IV, with some iconic characters and gorgeous set pieces setting the mood perfectly.
It doesn’t have the best puzzles in the series and the boss fights aren’t to everyone’s tastes, but it’s a supremely polished horror/action experience, making it one of the very best games you can play on the PS5.

Demon’s Souls
The first game in the iconic series, Demon’s Souls is a classic to many and a game that is on more than one to-beat list. With this remake released for the PS5, it’s easier than ever to get to grips with this fantastically difficult, and now, fantastically good-looking game.
One of the true pioneers of the eponymous “Souls-like” genre, Demon’s Souls is far from an easy game but enjoys that same addictive gameplay loop that so defines the series. If you have the skills and the energy to take on some of the devilishly difficult boss monsters and the oppressive atmosphere, Demon’s Souls on PS5 is an absolute treat.
Amazon Price: $44.99
Ghost of Tsushima
Beautifully developed and incredibly expansive, Ghost of Tsushima is an instant classic. Any fan of the open-world fan will immediately be drawn into the massive world on offer. And, any other type of gamer will love the story and combat. This particular version of the game also includes some awesome extra content to enjoy.
Amazon Price: $66.99
God of War
This game may have been developed for PS4, but there’s a patch available for PS5. It helps the game seriously take advantage of the oomph built into the new console. In fact, even if you’re played God of War before, It’s an instant classic, and playing it is a great way to prepare for the sequel.
Amazon Price: $16
Astro’s Playroom
Every PS5 comes with a copy of Astro’s Playroom as a pack-in title. Bundled-in software feels like a thing of the glorious past, as does Team Asobi’s Astro’s Playroom – a brilliantly imaginative old-school platformer, pre-installed on every PS5, that runs wild and free through PlayStation’s past, from the original demo disc bundled in with Sony’s very first video game console through to cherished classics like Ape Escape, Gravity Rush, Bloodborne and beyond.
By the time Astro’s Playroom’s short six-hour runtime has finished, it’s more than earned its place alongside those PlayStation classics. More than a nostalgia trip, it’s an inventive and uniquely tactile platformer that puts the PlayStation 5 through its paces and underlines the point that Team Asobi is one of Sony’s very best assets when it comes to video game development.
