What are the best PS5 games<\/strong>? The PlayStation 5<\/strong> is the latest gaming hardware from Sony, released on 12th November, 2020 in North America and a week later on the 19th November, 2020 in Europe. Of course, it’s the platform holder’s most powerful, most premium console to date, promising a big shift from the previous generation thanks to some advanced bells and whistles. Its super-fast SSD cuts loading times dramatically, the Tempest 3D audio engine brings a new dimension to sound, and the DualSense PS5<\/strong> controller brings new sensations with its haptic feedback and adaptive triggers.<\/p>\n

All this doesn’t mean much without games, of course, and in PS5’s<\/strong> lifespan thus far, we’ve seen a great number of amazing titles from all corners. The console’s launch lineup is one of the best, if not the<\/em> best, in PlayStation’s history. The flagship game from Sony was Demon’s Souls<\/a>, a gorgeous remake of FromSoftware’s PS3 cult hit, but it was joined by many enjoyable games, including more from first-party teams. Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales<\/a> got things swinging in style, Sackboy: A Big Adventure<\/a> was a jolly platformer for the younger market, and Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War<\/a> ensured the console had a CoD ready to roll. The thing is, nearly every launch game for PS5<\/strong> is very<\/em> good \u2014 you really couldn’t go far wrong.<\/p>\n

And that’s without even talking about the amazing Astro’s Playroom<\/a>. While primarily intended to show off PS5’s<\/strong> hardware features in a fun way, this free, pre-installed game is an absolute delight. The diminutive robot introduces you to the DualSense with some seriously inventive levels, and what’s more, the game is full to bursting with PlayStation easter eggs. Just a joy through and through.<\/p>\n

While all this sounds ideal, the PS5<\/strong> launched under very tough conditions. The COVID-19 pandemic brought the world to a halt in 2020, but Sony was determined to launch its console on time, and it did so. The downside is that, with manufacturing slowed down by shortages of crucial parts, demand has routinely outstripped supply, and PS5 stock<\/strong><\/a> has been few and far between ever since launch.<\/p>\n

Despite these rocky beginnings, the console is selling roughly on par with its predecessor, the PS4. The supply problems are still a thorn in Sony’s side, but a steady stream of top-notch software has meant consumers are ready to sweep the shelves whenever they’re able. The white and black box has had an unusual and unpredictable existence, but that hasn’t stopped publishers and developers from releasing some truly excellent games.<\/p>\n
