With the PS5 just launched all over the world, thousands of gamers will either buy it or attempt to receive their pre-order ASAP..
At the moment there are several new titles exclusive to the PS5 while Sony also offers a large catalog of titles which date back to the PS4 or PS3.
Most of these games have been optimized to be as perfect as possible on the next-gen PS5 hardware, but these enhanced experiences pale in comparison to what gamers may see on PS5 titles..
PS5 launch titles

Image via Marvel Certainly the most well-known license title, Miles Morales takes on the mantle of the Defender of Harlem in the spider webs of comics and movies. This action-adventure game lets players navigate a massive open world by embarking on missions to earn rewards and complete the main storyline.
The game is technically and visually successful. On the new console, it runs very well and offers one of the best gaming experiences on the platform yet..
Demon Souls
Image via PlayStation Blog A remake of the PS3 title, Demon Souls provides players with very challenging play in a style that has become popular with the developer's latest titles, Dark Souls and Bloodborne . Similarly, the player has the task of exploring the dungeons and learning the patterns of the enemies to overcome them.
This game is not made for casual gamers as it is difficult, but the graphics are exceptional and this complete remake of the original game offers the best quality of play imaginable.
Sackboy: A Big Adventure
Image via Sony Another game licensed to PlayStation, Sackboy: A Big Adventure immerses players in the character of Sackboy from LittleBigPlanet , while exploring a world of platforming and puzzles. This game features impressive graphics, with good use of the hardware and the PS5 controller.
Accessible and fun, this game is ideal for younger, casual players.
Godfall

If you want to play a game where you can go with your friends and fight your way through hordes of enemies, then Godfall is the best choice for you on PS5.
Watch Dogs: Legion
Image via Ubisoft New sequel to the Watch Dogs license , Legion is an open-world action RPG that allows players to hack, shoot, and battle in a cyberpunk world to find and stop the person behind terrorist attacks. The game tells the story by swapping out playable characters as the plot progresses.
While not exclusive to the PS5, Watch Dogs: Legion is well optimized for the console and delivers a true next-gen experience.
NBA 2K21
Image via 2K This game doesn't really need a description. NBA 2K21 is a basketball game that offers the same experience as the previous licensed titles, although this time the experience is greatly enhanced by the hardware of the PS5.
The game is played in 4k, with a stable refresh rate, providing the best experience available right now. If you love basketball, this is a must-have for you.
Assassin's Creed: Valhalla
Image via Ubisoft Another impressive open-world game on the new console, Assassin's Creed: Valhalla takes players to Norway, where players will learn the history of their ancestors by completing key objectives.
The scale reached on the game is very impressive and visually successful. For players familiar with the license, this title is worth a try.
Dirt 5
Image via Codemasters Releasing just a week before the launch of the PS5, Dirt 5 is the best racing game experience possible on the PS5 yet. The 4K resolution with all the advantages offered by the console makes it a good title for fans of the genre.
Borderlands 3
Image via Gearbox While some games have been improved for the new console, Borderlands 3 has been completely redesigned from A to Z to take all the benefits of the next-gen. The looter shooter offers an intense storyline with fast-paced gameplay for countless hours of content to complete after completing the story.
Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War
Image via Activision By launching only one day after the console, the next-gen will be able to be tested via the Call of Duty license with Black Ops Cold War . The latest title in the license takes players through a campaign that takes place in the 80's and is a direct sequel to the original Black Ops story .
In addition to the campaign, the game also benefits from an extremely popular multiplayer which allows players to challenge each other on a battlefield with teammates. In Cold War , the multi is filled with new weapons, maps and modes exclusive to this game.
Zombie mode is also making a comeback. It allows teams to battle hordes of zombies to survive, and even solve puzzles scattered across the map.
Finally, Cold War also includes Warzone , the popular battle royale mode. You can play it alone or in a team to survive in a large area full of loot, as the areas are shrinking. The area isn't the only thing players should be wary of, as there are also 90 opponents who will be looking to take you out.
