What are the best games on PlayStation 5 ? Now that supply issues are over, Sony’s latest console is flying off shelves, while its library of games rapidly fills up. New and old PS5 owners will be wondering what to play, so here’s our living list of the best video games available on the platform, to be updated as more games come out. It’s worth noting that the PS5 does have backward compatibility with PlayStation 4 games, so our list of the 22 best PS4 games will also serve you well.
Our latest update to this list added Final Fantasy 14 . It’s a bold move, on the part of Remedy Entertainment , to actually make a decade-late sequel to a game that defined the studio, but whose ambitions it has arguably outgrown in the years since — particularly in its stunning, architectural action game Control . Might a trip back to Alan Wake ’s spooky woods, so obviously haunted by the ghosts of Stephen King and David Lynch, not feel like a step back? Related Hardly.
What Remedy created by bringing all its experience to bear on its most beloved creation is nothing short of a survival horror masterpiece , as well as a meta mystery about its own creation. Horror author Alan is joined by a co-protagonist, FBI agent Saga Anderson, who’s investigating a case linked to Alan’s disappearance over a decade earlier. Using this dual setup — impressively, you can fluidly switch between Alan’s and Saga’s stories essentially at your discretion — Remedy works outward from the origina.
