"In the half a decade since the console was released, Sony has become a pretty different company in terms of the games it puts out, prioritizing prestige narratives and live-service forever games, and it hasn't quite worked out for the company. Despite this, the PS5 still has a lot of spectacular games, and with the fifth anniversary here, we figured it was time to update our list of the best games you can buy on the PlayStation Store right now."
"The last time we updated our best PS5 games roundup, it had several holdovers from the original 2020 launch. So when we looked at it this week, we figured it was time to drop a lot of those early games. That's not to say those games aren't great, but a lot of real bangers have come out in the past year, and we're finally out of the cross-gen era in which games landing on PS5 were often still coming out on the PS4 as well."
The PlayStation 5 has reached its fifth anniversary. Sony's publishing focus shifted toward prestige narratives and live-service 'forever' games, a strategy that has produced mixed commercial and critical outcomes. Despite corporate challenges, the PS5 catalog still contains many spectacular games across genres. The updated best-games selection emphasizes native PS5 titles rather than enhanced PS4 ports. Many early launch and cross-gen holdovers were dropped to make room for recent standout releases. Several early PS5 bangers remain included for their enduring quality. The list aims to reflect the current generation's strengths and highlight games that fully leverage PS5 hardware advancements.
