Best PS5 Exclusive Games

Just a friendly reminder this list is based on the votes from you: the community! You can share your own scores using the search tool at the top of the page.

Wow that's a pretty damn good list and only a year and half in, can see why the ps5 is the best console to get right now especially with the amount of AAA exclusives

I disagree with everything

Do these count as exclusives when I own most of them on PS4? Or are these trying to be "Sony exclusives"?

There’s some really great games on the list. And then there’s Destruction All-Stars.

1. Horizon Forbidden West, 2. Returnal

So I guess nobody else has played the Nioh or Uncharted PS5 remasters 😅

Also: “To be an exclusive, the game must fit into at least one of these categories”. Am I still half asleep or should this say “must not be on a Microsoft or Nintendo console”?

imo, this is not even all PS5 exclusives.

A PS5 exclusive imo is an exclusive ONLY ON PS5. NO WHERE ELSE YOU CAN PLAY IT.

it doesn’t count as PS5 exclusive if the game is on PC and also on PS4 imo

Great selection but one thing I'm definitely not a fan of is forced stealth sections. Depending on how well it's implemented it could cause me to stop playing a game and the forced stealth in Spider Man where you play as Mary Jane had some of the worst stealth I have ever seen.

Damn. Those are a lot of games on ps4 and not ps5 exclusives.

Here's the list

5. Ghostwire (not for long)
4. Deathloop (not for long)
3. Ratchet
2. Returnal
1. Demon Souls Remake

we don't mention D.allstars

Played most of these and I cant really disagree with any. Pretty much spot tbh. Genuinely nice to see GT7 being shown the respect it deserves by Push Square, truly is a top notch racing game and it didn't release broken and its only going to get better with time. Also nice to see both the Uncharted remasters slightly higher on this list than I was expecting. Sometimes it feels like U4 and Lost Legacy don't always get the love they deserve when it comes to the top end of any Playstation top games list. Goonies have grown up but are still treasure hunting as adults. Edit just realised list came from votes

@Bismarck Demon's souls/returnal/astro should be the top 3.

@RevGaming And where is astro?

@lolwhatno Oh damn. I put that on another category for free to play. I don't think free to play should be on the same bunch of paid games.

Good list, but my number one is Returnal, followed closely by Forbidden West and then Ghost Director’s Cut.

@RevGaming Oh that's fair, thought you were going of the article (which had astro's playroom).

P.s: What the fudge is that pfp btw?!
I don't get it, like not at all. It's great and awful at the same time.

@lolwhatno crash on depression

Ghost of tsushima is number.and pushsquare is right.word up son

@OrtadragoonX Didn't notice that you're new, welcome to the community my guy/gal (we have an introduction thread in the forum if you're interested). I hope that you enjoy your stay.

Also, Returnal is from last year

My choice :

So..... Very few of these are anything more than upscaled Ps4 games. Ps5 exclusive is just not accurate.

sorry but ps5 exclusive doesnt mean on ps4 and pc as well. it means only on ps5

What's crazy is the quality of Playstation Studios games, every title they've released is on here bar Destruction Allstars and the MLB titles

@trev666 the list would be way too short, I think there's only 5 true exclusives if you take out titles that are on PC as well

@Vivisapprentice exactly that would show how many actual ps5 exclusives there is which isnt so impressive so push sqaure changed the rules to fit the narrative

@trev666 it would look something like this

1. ASTRO'S PLAYROOM
2. RATCHET AND CLANK RIFT APART
3. DEMON'S SOULS
4 RETURNAL
5 DESTRUCTION ALLSTARS

I think that's it

This is an incredible list. Sure, lots of PS4 games here but many play much better on PS5. Whether you play on PS4 or PS5, the exclusives are industry leading. If we are going to restrict to next gen only, that is just going to make competitors look even worse right now.

@Vivisapprentice this is pretty incredible that ps5 have only those games as exclusive… in almost 2 years.

@clianvXAi I think alot more of the PS Studio titles would of been PS5 exclusives like GT7, HFW, GoWR etc... but Sony probably foresaw the chip shortage and made the developers push PS4 versions out. Just my theory. It's crazy you still can't walk into a shop and buy a PS5

@trev666 That would still be better than 0 on Xbox Series X.

@deadliner @Fragile @anoyonmus People moaned when we strictly stuck to the meaning of an exclusive, and now people moan when we don’t. We can’t win with you lot 😅

@trev666 exactly what I said. Thank You

I can play most on my PS4 including the entire top 4.
Guys save an article like this when the PS5 gets more than a handful of actual exclusives because its kinda pointless.

Firstly great list of games.
Interesting the top three are all old PS4 games.
They just don’t make them like they used to.

If they did stick to exclusively on PS5 I think the list would be really interesting, just some random games no one had heard off. Surely there is something in the PS5 Store?

Decent enough list though, the console shortage and lack of exclusives really put a downer on the PS5's first year and a bit.

A less misleading title would have been nice.

Only 5 of those are actually exclusive to the ps5

Great to see Astro's do so well. Probably my favourite PS5 exclusive, which surprised me somewhat. I'm still sore over GT7 and the dumb flamingoery that's happened with it (including being touted as PS5 exclusive initially until it wasn't, which became known after I bought a PS5) so I was surprised to see that so high. Spiderman is in a good spot, really enjoyed it and glad I didn't get around to the PS4 version. Still need to get around to Ghost of Tsushima though, I've had it since launch (re-launch?) and just haven't found the time as I get the feeling it's one of those that I'll play for days straight... One day. Promise.

Good lord. Who the h cares whether it’s PS5 ONLY? Are they good games that are available on a Sony system? Are any not on the PS5? Don’t upbraid the site for putting out a good list of games that you can play on the 5. Enjoy them and shut up already.

@d-slice they try to skate what an exclusive is at the beginning by saying it is on playstation or pc then it is still counted. The reason being the list of PS5 exclusives is actually tiny.

The top 3 (and a few others), as far as I'm concerned, while awesome in their own right and certainly games I'm a big fan of, aren't really legit for this list, as they were PS4 (or 3 in the case of Demon's Souls) games to start with. When I think of a PS_ EXCLUSIVE, I'm thinking of something designed for and only playable on that system. Not a remaster, repackage, extended editon, upgraded for a new console generation edition, etc. Just my 2 cents.....

Literally only 4 actual exclusives for ps5 on this list.

@Liam, @Robert, @Sammy, @Stephen,

I read the parameters for this list and understand that the definition of “exclusive” is a bit mercurial these days. Still…wondering if y’all have a list of games that can ONLY be played on PS5, not PS4 or anywhere else. Like Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart for example. If so, please let me know! Thanks!!

Still just a handful of PS5 (as not on PS4 too) exclusives.

1 Returnal
2 God of war
3 Stray

5. Spider-Man Miles Morales
4. Ghost of Tsushima
3. God of War: Ragnarok
2. Spider-Man Remastered
1. Elden Ring

They should have included Elden Ring atleast in this tier list imo

Rachet and Clank was fantastic, Demon Souls was epic for me now im working on Ghost of Thushima which i love I have most of the games still in seal so ill have a busy year.

@Anti-Matter Would love to see a sequal for that game it was a blast to Platinum.

As others have stated, "Available on PC: Yes" is the problem. If a game is available outside of a PlayStation console, then it is just flat out NOT a PS exclusive. How difficult is it to understand such an extremely simple concept?

@koverby Demons Soul's remake, Go! Go! 5 Jigen Game Neptune: re★Verse. Gran Turismo 7, Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales, Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart, Astro's Playroom.
