Picking the single “best” PS5 game is subjective, but here are some top contenders offering diverse experiences:
1. Assassin’s Creed Valhalla: A massive open-world RPG set in 9th-century England, offering hundreds of hours of gameplay, rich lore, and breathtaking visuals. Perfect for players who love exploration and historical settings. Consider this if you enjoy sprawling RPGs with deep character progression.
2. & 3. Astro’s Playroom: This isn’t your typical “best” game pick, but it’s crucial. It’s a pre-installed tech demo showcasing the PS5’s capabilities – a must-play to experience the DualSense controller’s haptic feedback and adaptive triggers fully. It’s short, but incredibly fun and innovative.
4. Demon’s Souls Remake: A brutally challenging but rewarding action RPG. The remake is visually stunning and faithfully recreates the original’s unforgiving gameplay. Prepare for a difficult but deeply satisfying experience. Only for those who relish a good challenge.
5. Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales: A fantastic superhero adventure with superb web-slinging mechanics, a compelling story, and stunning visuals. A great choice if you want a shorter, more focused experience with amazing graphics and gameplay.
What games to play on PS5 when bored?
Alright guys, so you’re bored and looking for some PS5 bangers? Let’s break it down. The Last of Us Part 1 & 2 are cinematic masterpieces, obviously. Prepare for an emotional rollercoaster, incredible storytelling, and some truly breathtaking moments. If you haven’t played them, you’re missing out.
For something a bit different, dive into the Star Wars Jedi series: Fallen Order & Survivor. Amazing lightsaber combat, a compelling story, and exploration of a beautiful galaxy. Survivor especially ups the ante with improved combat and more challenging encounters. A must-have for any Star Wars fan.
Into survival horror? Resident Evil 4 Remake is phenomenal. It’s a modern classic reimagined, with incredible visuals and gameplay improvements. If you prefer a more classic horror experience, Resident Evil 2 Remake is another top-tier option.
Feeling masochistic? Then jump into Demon’s Souls. It’s brutal, unforgiving, but incredibly rewarding. A true test of skill. If you conquer that, other Souls games like Elden Ring (although not exclusive to PS5) are waiting for you. Prepare for a challenge!
Finally, Dead Space Remake. Atmospheric horror at its finest. Stunning visuals, terrifying creatures, and a genuinely creepy atmosphere. Highly recommended for fans of sci-fi horror.
What PS5 game has the most players?
Yo, so the PS5 player count scene is constantly shifting, but as of January 2025, Fortnite’s consistently crushing it in terms of MAU. It’s a juggernaut, no doubt. Call of Duty’s franchise, encompassing MWII/III, Warzone, and Black Ops, maintains a ridiculously strong second place—that’s the power of established IPs and continuous updates. GTA V, surprisingly, still holds a significant player base on PS5, showing its longevity and appeal. And then you’ve got EA Sports FC 24, which, while a huge title, demonstrates the competitive nature of the sports genre, fighting for that top spot, but clearly behind the leaders in raw player numbers.
Keep in mind that MAU is just one metric. Peak concurrent players, average session length, and other data points give a fuller picture. But based solely on MAUs, those four titles reigned supreme in January 2025. The battle for the top spot is fierce; these numbers could change rapidly with new releases and updates.
