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 we’ve played 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 28 best PS4 games will also serve you well.

Our latest update to this list on April 25 added Forza Horizon 5, which I (Oli) have played for far longer than I care to admit.

How we pick the best games on PS5

The Polygon staff plays a lot of video games, and everything in this list comes personally recommended by at least one of us. We determined what should be on our list of the best PlayStation 5 games by looking at the quality of each title, but also with an eye for breadth and variety — so you should find something on the list you’ll enjoy, no matter what genres of game you like, how much time you have, or what vibe you are after.
