Summary

• Despite launching in 2020, the PlayStation 5 has only a handful of exclusive games
• Titles like Demon's Souls and Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth are excellent choices for anyone who likes RPGs
• Stellar Blade and Spider-Man 2 are great picks if you like action-based gameplay

The 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:PlayStation 5 launched on November 12th, 2020, and includes enticing features such as quicker load times, the impressive 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:DualSense controller, and the promise of truly next-gen exclusive games. Early console exclusives included 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Deathloop, 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Ghostwire: Tokyo, and the 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade expansion.

However, we're only interested in true exclusives here, the games that can only be purchased and played on the PS5. Here are the games you should seriously look into once you've booted up your console and are ready to dive into the world of enhanced graphics, rapid loading times, and innovative controller effects.

Updated on July 7, 2024, by Kyle Chamaillard: There are still only a handful of games you can play exclusively on the PS5, and we've decided to update this list to remove the games that have been ported elsewhere and add the new ones to see where they rank against the rest.

We are not including PSVR2 titles like Horizon Call of the Mountain or The Dark Pictures: Switchba𝔍ck VR on this list𓃲.

10 ꦕ ꧑ Quantum Error

A Big Mistake

Even though there are only a few PS5 exclusives, Quantum Error has gone so far below the radar that most people don't even know it exists. It was barely featured in Sony showcases and rough reviews pushed it further away from general interest.

Developed by a small team, Quantum Error follows a firefighter in space as he investigates horrific research facilities. There are some interesting ideas here, like the ability to switch between first-person or third-person perspectives, but a plethora of bugs and questionable decisions burn aꦓway any possible feelings of enjoyment while playing it.

9 Destruction AllStars ♈

Fast And Furious

It's a shame how few vehicular combat games are available these days. The genre was immensely popular in the late 90s, but quickly became oversaturated with games and nearly disappeared completely. Sony attempted to breathe new life into the genre with 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Destruction AllStars, but it ended up crashing and burning✨ with its concept.

Destruction AllStars almost has everything it needs to be a hit. The diverse roster of characters is compelling and unique, and 168澳洲幸运ꦏ5开奖网:each driver has their own abilities and vehicles. While the game was originally announced to be sold at full price, Sony instead released it for free to PlayStation Plus subscribers for the first two months after its launch. Unfortunately, the free price tag and interesting characters couldn't save Destruction Allstars from its underwhelming gameplay and bland stages.

8 Silent Hill: The꧟ Short Message

A Fleeting Experience

Despite many of its spin-offs appearing on other consoles, like the Wii, the mainline Silent Hill games are often associated with the PlayStation. The series has reentered the zeitgeist as multiple games are currently in development - including a remake of Silent Hill 2 and a few new titles - and 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:The Short Message was the first playable entry since the P.T. demo launched in 2014.

As per its title, The Short Message is only a couple of hours long, but most people would agree that it overstays its welcome. It plays similarly to P.T. as you walk through narrow hallways, but it fails to ever reach the same heights as its predecessor and feels more like a poor imitation instead of an innovative step forward. If you're curious about The Short Message, the best part about it is that it is free to download.

7 ও ಞRise Of The Ronin

Soar, Sneak, Stab

168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Rise of the Ronin was developed by Team Ninja, a studio known for creating exciting skill-based action games like Nioh, Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty, and Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin. This PlayStation 5 exclusive takes the best elements from those titles, such as the fantastic art direction, worldbuilding, and satisfying gameplay, to create an immersive adventure that's easy to get lost in.

One of the greatest aspects of Rise of the Ronin is how much it allows you to customize your experience with it. There are multiple weapons to choose from, a refreshing number of traversal options that all feel fantastic, and pivotal story moments that require you to make important decisions that impact the narrative. Rise of the Ronin might not have made a huge splash when it launched, but it's definitely worth hopping into if you're looking for a challenge, an engaging open world, or something to play with a couple of friends.

6 🍌 Final Fantasy 16 🦄

A Game Of Eikons

Since the original 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Final Fantasy launched on the Famicom and NES, the series has consistently subverted and reconstructed the definition of an RPG. 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Final Fantasy 16 mostly throws the turn-based mechanics of its predecessors away in favor of a more action-oriented playstyle that's reminiscent of Bayonetta and Devil May Cry. It's a bold strategy that creates a refreshing journey while still feeling like a Final Fantasy game.

Heavily inspired by Game of Thrones, Final Fantasy 16 follows Clive Rosfield as he seeks revenge for a betrayal that changed his life forever. It 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:might n📖ot be the longest Final Fantasy game, but its focused narrative keeps the plot moving at a steady pace that continues to build until the epic final battle. Between the fast-paced combat system and the spectacular battles between the god-like Eikons, Final Fantasy 🍷16 feไels like a game that could only run on the PlayStation 5 due to its scale and ambition.

5 🔜 Stellar Blade

Time To Save The World

168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Stellar Blade is the console debut from Shift Up, a studio that had previously worked on a mobile title before starting development on this ambitious action-adventure game for the P♛layStation 5. Fusing elements from Dark Souls and Nier: Automata, Stellar Blade was a delight for many after it defied expectations and surprised everyone with its unique twists, gorgeous visuals, and phenomenal action sequences.

Everything about the game looks so fantastic and smooth that it's hard to imagine Stellar Blade running on anything else except for the PlayStation 5. Most of your experience with the game could be spent sitting on the edge of your seat as you marvel at giant set pieces and face jaw-dropping bosses. The weakest element of Stellar Blade is the story, but everything surrounding it is so much fun that it's easy to look over just so you can embark on the next mission.

4 Demon's Souls

A Reimagined Classic

When 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Demon's Souls was first released for the PlayStation 3 in 2009, it was beloved by the few who played it — but wasn't able to make it into the mainstream on its own. Over time, its spiritual successors gained more momentum, and eventually, the Souls series and their spin-offs became some of the most popular and anticipated games of the generation. When Sony announced that Bluepoint Studios would be remaking the often-overlooked original, fans couldn't have been more delighted.

The Demon's Souls remake launched alongside the PS5 in 2020 and remains one of the best exclusives in its library. It features new weapons, armor, and an enhanced character creator, among other quality-of-life improvements. Its astonishing graphics and incredible gameplay create an immersive adventure in a world full of secrets and magnificent bosses.

3 Astro's Playroom

Say Hello To Your Little Friend

Once you finally have your PS5 at home, it will take some time to download the majority of the games you bought along with it. Fortunately, the console comes pre-installed with one of its best games, which you can play right away while you wait. 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Astro's Playroom is so much fun that by the time your other games finish installing, you might not want to leave its vibrant and cre🙈ative world.

Though it's a short experience, Astro's Playroom is packed with exciting levels, stellar music, and a fascinating retrospective on the history of PlayStation consoles. 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Astro Bot is one of Sony's more adorable mascots, and guiding him through gorgeous levels is an absolute blast. The best part about the game, though, is how it utilizes the DualSense controller's many features — such as haptic feedback and adaptive triggers — to create an immersive platformer unlike any other.

2 Marvel's Spider-Man 2

Swinging To The Top

168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Spider-Man 2 builds from the foundation of the first game and 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Spider-Man: Miles Morales to create one of the most seamless and endlessly riveting open worlds on the PlayStation 5. Swinging around New York City feels amazing, and the DualSense controller uses unique features like haptic feedback and adaptive triggers tꩲo make you feel like an actual superhero.

One of the most impressive aspects of Spider-Man 2 is how it balances the two protagonist's stories to give them unique but equally compelling arcs that eventually tie into each other. Both Peter and Miles 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:have grown since their first𒉰 adventure, and the game does an excellent job of depicting what it would be like to be a superhero who can't hold a job because of their secret identity. With a riveting plot, exciting combat, and worthwhile side activities, you'll be stuck in Spider-Man 2's web after the opening hour and won't want to leave.

1 ♛ Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth 🧸

A New Spin On An Old Adventure

168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Final Fantasy 7 Remake ambitiously retells the opening hours of the original game and stretches it out to a nearly 40-hour journey. It's a fairly linear experience that ends with Cloud and the gang outside the walls of Midgar ready to explore an unknown world. The sequel, 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, picks up right where its predecessor left off and is somehow much larger in scope than anyone could have imꦐagined.

With an immersive open world full of engaging activities, mini-games, and a consistently entertaining soundtrack, Rebirth perfectly encapsulates the feeling of exploring the original Final Fantasy 7. Beyond its excellent design, Rebirth also contains 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:some of the best combat in any RPG, expanding on the formula from Remake to create an endlessly fascinating and fast-paced take on the original ATB system. Simultan🌸eously hilarious and heartbreaking, Rebirth is an essential❀ title for anyone with a PlayStation 5.
