The best PS5 games for 2024: Top PlayStation titles to play right now
Load up your console with these excellent games.
Regardless of if you just got your hands on a PS5 or you’ve had the console for a while, chances are you had a good idea which few games you wanted to start out with.

We can confidently say that all of the video games on our best PS5 games list do this in their own way, be they action-adventure titles, racing sims, puzzles and everything in between.

Either that or we hate it.
