Last week, we asked the Push Square community to vote on their favourite PS5 games of 2025 so far.

Of course, it's still far too early to be discussing Game of the Year in a serious sense, but the results of our poll do perhaps shine a light on potential frontrunners. Indeed, it's always interesting to take stock of the titles that have already made an impact.

Over 3,200 votes were cast across a total of 50 games. According to you lot, these are the 20 best PS5 releases of the year up until this point...

3. Split Fiction - 233 votes (7%)

Split Fiction

We're not going to get into the debate of whether Split Fiction is better than It Takes Two — the game's similarly beloved predecessor — but it's clear that developer Hazelight has struck upon a fantastic co-op formula. Featuring a shocking amount of gameplay variety and some really heartfelt storytelling, Split Fiction is a great choice for anyone looking to unwind with a friend in front of the TV.

Co-op games are usually a harder sell than single player titles — especially on lists like this — so if you're making the top three, you're doing something very right.

2. Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 - 316 votes (9%)

Kingdom Come Deliverance 2

Sequels can be awkward. Sometimes they don't quite live up to their predecessors and struggle to match the vibes that fans fell in love with — and other times, they can try to be a bit too different from what came before.

But Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 managed to smash the expectations that were set by the first game. An often unforgiving RPG, this medieval adventure is all about immersion — the kind of release that sucks you into its suitably muddy world and keeps you there for hours and hours at a time.

1. Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 - 939 votes (29%)

Clair Obscur Expedition 33

Look, there's not much to say about Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 that hasn't already been said. Sandfall Interactive's debut RPG utterly dominated our poll, racking up almost triple the votes of its second place rival.

Alongside its ability to tell an incredibly clever, emotional, and engaging story, Clair Obscur also nails its focus on turn-based combat, providing a system that feels both fresh and rewardingly in-depth. Even for veteran RPG studios, there are lessons to be learned here.

For us, the big question is whether anything can actually challenge Clair Obscur for the eventual Game of the Year awards. Because right now, it's looking like the overwhelmingly obvious favourite.

What do you make of this list, then? Are these really the top 20 PS5 games of 2025 so far, or do you have any personal favourites that deserve a place? Continue to argue in the comments section below.
