Sony's PlayStation 5 has now been out for a good long while, and it keeps adding impressive new titles all the time, with a load more on the horizon.
We've gathered the best PS5 games coming down the line right here for you, from confirmed releases to games that we're certain are in the pipeline, including new trailers wherever they exist - all ordered from nearest to furthest away.
Assassin's Creed Mirage
- Pre-order: Amazon
- Release date: 5 October 2023
- PS5 exclusive? No, also on PS4, Xbox and PC
- Publisher: Ubisoft
The next Assassin's Creed game is reducing its scope a little, while is right up our street - it has an authentic recreation of Medieval Baghdad to explore as Basim, a novice assassin who story buffs will know has great things ahead of him.
For those who loved the very first Assassin's Creed game this looks like a welcome throwback, and we can't wait to explore its stealthy alleyways and bustling bazaars.
Lords of the Fallen
- Pre-orders: Amazon
- Release date: 13 October 2023
- PS5 exclusive? No, also on Xbox and PC
- Publisher: CI Games
A franchise coming back from the dead with a game that's named the same as the last in the series, Lords of the Fallen nonetheless looks like a really quite promising Souls-like, with brutal combat and some super haunting enemy designs.
It features a world torn asunder that you have to help preserve, using a magic lantern to let you see the decay underneath the surface, and some fast-paced heavy-hitting combat.
Marvel's Spider-Man 2
- Pre-order: Best Buy
- Release date: 20 October 2023
- PS5 exclusive? Yes
- Publisher: Sony
Insomniac's hot streak with the web-slinger continues - after the expandalone Miles Morales adventure, Peter Parker and Miles will be teaming up in the new game, due out in October and featuring a slathering antagonist in the form of the fearsome Venom.
Alan Wake 2
- Pre-order: PlayStation Store
- Release date: 27 October 2023
- PS5 exclusive? No, also on Xbox and PC
- Publisher: Epic Games
At long last, we get a continuation of tortured writer Alan Wake's story from Remedy, after its universe was tied into that of Control in that game's last expansion. The new Alan Wake will apparently skew more into survival horror rather than action, which sounds nice and scary.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3
- Pre-order: Amazon
- Release date: 10 November 2023
- PS5 exclusive? No, also on Xbox and PC
- Publisher: Activision
COD is back with the next Modern Warfare game, and it's all centred around big baddie Makarov (from the first Modern Warfare 2 and 3). All guns and operators will carry over from MW3, so it's promising as smooth a continuation as we've had in ages.
What will doubtless be a blockbuster campaign will only be part of the package, with multiplayer and Zombies to sink into as well.
Skull and Bones
- Release date: 2023
- PS5 exclusive? No, also on Xbox Series X/S, PC and Stadia
- Publisher: Ubisoft
Skull and Bones has taken so long to surface that it was repeatedly rumoured to have been cancelled at various stages, but the pirate game is finally about to come out, and looks like a good time. You'll kit out not just your captain but their ship in the loadout you choose, and take on the high seas with a scurrilous crew to help you.
Alone in the Dark
- Pre-order: Amazon
- Release date: 16 January 2024
- PS5 exclusive? No, also on Xbox Series X and PC
- Publisher: THQ Nordic
One of the most storied franchises returns with this reboot that will send players to the deep south for some properly creepy action, controlling two protagonists in a twisty and unsettling story that promises plenty of gore and scares.
Final Fantasy VII Rebirth
- Release date: Early 2024
- PS5 exclusive? Yes
- Publisher: Square Enix
Square has more than one big Final Fantasy game on the way, and the next instalment in its remake-come-sequel series has been announced for early 2024. It looks as gorgeous as ever, and promises to take Cloud's story in even more twisty directions thanks to the timeline shenanigans established at the end of the first part.
We're looking forward to exploring more of the world now that Cloud's properly established with a bunch of his original party members in the forms of Aerith, Tifa, Yuffie, Red and Barrett.
Prince of Persia The Lost Crown
- Release date: 18 January 2024
- PS5 exclusive? No, also on Xbox, PC, Switch and Luna
- Publisher: Ubisoft
A lovely-looking new entry in a franchise that felt like it might be on life support, this 2D metroidvania-style game will see you control a new version of the famous Prince as he explores an expansive map.
With zippy combat, a bunch of moves to master and an art style that's really easy to like, it could be a sleeper hit.
Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League
- Release date: 2 February 2024
- PS5 Exclusive? No also on Xbox Series X/S and PC
- Publisher: Warner Bros.
Rocksteady finally returns after a quiet period following its acclaimed Arkham games, and it's back in the DC universe. This time it's taking on the Suicide Squad, with a four-man team of miscreants tasked with bumping off the corrupted superhero lineup of the Justice League.
It looks like colourful fun, and unlike the Batman games you've got multiple styles of combat to embrace between the various characters, so we can't wait to get our hands on it and try it for ourselves.
Death Stranding 2
- Release date: TBC
- PS5 exclusive? Yes
- Publisher: Sony Interactive Entertainment
One of the weirdest mainstream games we've played in a long, long time is getting a sequel on the PlayStation 5 - Death Stranding 2 is on its way.
The title might change, it would seem, but there are some returning cast members to give us consistency, including Lea Seydoux and Norman Reedus.
Marathon
- Release date: TBC
- PS5 exclusive? No, also on Xbox Series X/S and PC
- Publisher: Sony Interactive Entertainment
Bungie's next shooter is a return to its roots in some ways, reviving the long-dead Marathon series and bringing it into the modern world - as an extraction shooter. This genre is all the rage, for good reason.
It'll offer tense PvP combat as you try to get in and out of arenas with loot along the way, and has an aesthetic that looks extremely interesting.
Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater
- Release date: TBC
- PS5 exclusive? No, also on Xbox Series X/S and PC
- Publisher: Konami
One of the most storied gaming franchises is coming back with a major remake, bringing the third Metal Gear Solid game to modern consoles with a reimagining and hugely updated visuals.
Exactly how faithful it is remains to be seen, but this will be a tonic to those who have been waiting for more since Metal Gear Solid 5 in the last console generation.
Dragon's Dogma 2
- Release date: TBC
- PS5 exclusive? No, also on Xbox Series X/S and PC
- Publisher: Capcom
Capcom is answering the prayers of a dedicated community by revisiting the Dragon's Dogma franchise - the first game and its re-release have become cult favourites thanks to unique combat and an off-beat tone.
Expect more of the same in the sequel, including kookier companions and recruits, and bigger battles and monsters than ever before.
Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic Remake
- Release date: TBC
- PS5 exclusive? No, also on PC
- Publisher: Sony
Arguably the best Star Wars game of all time is getting a fresh lick of paint, rebuilt from the ground up for the PS5 and presumably bringing the old game's turn-based combat up to modern standards. The story of Darth Revan is one of the greatest gaming's known, so we can't wait to see some gameplay.
Silent Hill 2
- Release date: TBC
- PS5 exclusive? No, also on PC
- Publisher: Konami
An all-time horror great is coming back with a full remake led by Bloober Team - Silent Hill 2 will traumatise a whole new generation of gamers when it lands. Exploring its titular eerie town will be petrifying, but we're looking forward to a quantum leap forward graphically, too.
Marvel's Wolverine
- Release date: TBC
- PS5 exclusive? Yes
- Publisher: Sony
Marvel has clearly taken notice of the stellar work that Insomniac has done with Spider-Man, though, as it's been given the keys to another of its biggest names - Wolverine. The X-Man will be slicing his way to the PS5 at some point in the future, although we don't have an idea of when that'll be as yet.
Wonder Woman
- Release date: TBC
- PS5 exclusive? No, also on Xbox and PC
- Publisher: Warner Bros.
The DC universe is getting into the swing of things as far as gaming adaptations are concerned, and Wonder Woman is now in the lineup, although we don't have either a firm idea of what gameplay will look like or a release date.
It's a fairly safe bet that it'll be some sort of beat-em-up, though, and we're down to see how her famous set of moves could feel to control.
Star Wars Eclipse
- Release date: TBC
- PS5 exclusive? No, also on Xbox and PC
- Publisher: LucasFilm Games
It's super early in development, but if this moody CGI trailer is anything to go by, the next big game from Quantic Dream could take us to some interesting new locations in the Star Wars universe. It's set during the High Republic, a new part of the timeline that is being explored by other creators, too.
Grand Theft Auto 6
- Release date: TBC
- PS5 exclusive? No, also on Xbox Series X and PC
- Publisher: Rockstar
There are almost too many rumours swirling around Rockstar's likely next game in the Grand Theft Auto franchise to adequately summarise, but suffice to say that it almost has to be on the way.
At the moment speculation is rife that it will see players return to Vice City and the surrounding area, but nothing is confirmed yet. Still, it's almost guaranteed that one of the world's biggest entertainment franchises will make its way to the PS5 before long.
