The best Sony PlayStation 5 games for 2022

November 11, 2022

Two years after its release, the PS5 now has more than enough great next-gen games.

The PlayStation family of systems has always had an extensive library of games with thousands of choices for players to choose from. Sony continues to welcome new and exclusive titles, so PS5 is the only place to get titles like Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart, Demon's Souls or Astro's Playroom.

The PS5 is still a fairly new console, so there are still plenty of games on their way. You can play the best PS4 games on PS5 thanks to the system's comprehensive backwards compatibility. Running out of memory? Using its internal expansion port, we upgraded our PS5 SSD and the results were surprising.

What are the best PS5 games?

Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart is arguably the best PS5 game overall. This continuation of the long-running franchise combines beautiful graphics, instant loading, diverse gameplay and a fascinating story. It also shows off what the DualSense controller can do, with some neat haptic effects. It feels like the most complete PS5 game yet.

For superhero fans, Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales is a great choice, following the titular Miles Morales as he takes up the mantle of Spider-Man while Peter Parker is away, roaming New York City.

If you're up for a real challenge, Demon's Souls is everyone's favorite PS5 game. This game reimagines the brutal 2009 action RPG from the ground up, with a gorgeous new visual style, a high frame rate mode, and some quality-of-life tweaks.
