Best PS5 Exclusive Games – Push Square

What are the best PS5 exclusive games? For enthusiasts and the hardcore, exclusive titles are one of the main reasons for buying a console. These experiences generally make the most of the hardware you are purchasing, and so many are considered best in class when stacked up against third-party counterparts.

Sony consoles are lucky in the sense then that they’re supported by a truly outstanding lineup of first-party developers, which come together to form PlayStation Studios. After it really got going during the PS4 era, owners of a PS5 system can look forward to a plethora of upcoming titles from world-class developers. That includes Naughty Dog, Sony Santa Monica Studio, and Sucker Punch Productions.

As such, putting together a list of the best PS5 exclusive games is no easy task. However, the Push Square community has come together to rate their favourite ones and form the ranking you see below. This list has been rated and ranked entirely by you.

However, before we get to the list, we need to do a bit of housekeeping. The term “exclusive” has become muddied over the past generation or so. Therefore, we’ve expanded what games qualify for this list. If a game appears on a platform beyond PS5, it must work to these parameters in order to make it into the rankings:

With that out of the way, it’s time to get to your list of the best PS5 exclusives games. If you think there’s a game missing, use the search bar below to find it and then hand it your own rating. Your score might be enough to push it onto the list!

Note: Any game will need at least 50 ratings before it arrives on this page. If there’s a game you feel is missing from this list, it’s possible the title just hasn’t been rated enough times.
