What are the best remakes and remasters on PS5? These revamped versions of older titles make all your favourite classics more accessible than ever, and there are already plenty of them on PS5.

Remasters, such as Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered, update a game's presentation to the highest modern standard without constructing anything new on top of what was already there. Meanwhile, remakes are usually entirely new games based on old ones, such as The Last of Us Part I.

There are lots of examples on PS5, so we need your help to find the best ones. As with all our lists, it's down to the Push Square community to have the final say; your user ratings directly influence this page, informing which games appear and in what order.

Any game will need at least 20 ratings before it arrives on this page. If there's a game you feel is missing from this list, it's likely the title just hasn't been rated enough times.

Let's get to it — the best remakes and remasters on PS5, as ranked and rated by you.

10. The Last of Us Part II Remastered (PS5)

Arguably the greatest PS4 game, upgraded and repacked for PS5, with cut content and an all-new roguelike inspired mode, which takes full advantage of Naughty Dog’s underappreciated third-person shooter gameplay. The Last of Us Part II Remastered will hold few surprises for those who’ve already played the original, groundbreaking outing – but that doesn’t make it any less essential.

9. Persona 3 Reload (PS5)

As far as faithful remakes go, Persona 3 Reload is right up there with the best you'll find on PlayStation. The original Persona 3 is an undeniable classic, but Reload greatly improves the experience by modernising its turn-based combat and expanding its storytelling. What's more, it's an utterly gorgeous revival, boasting incredible art direction and some of the most stunning presentation you're ever likely to see in an RPG. A must for existing fans, and for newcomers, a perfect introduction to the Dark Hour.

8. Star Ocean The Second Story R (PS5)

Star Ocean The Second Story R is a fantastic remake of a classic RPG. It remains faithful to the original game's tone and atmosphere, but brings so many quality of life improvements to the table alongside an impressive visual overhaul. As a result, this is the best version of a beloved adventure — the core gameplay of which holds up shockingly well after all these years. A huge win for both nostalgia-driven fans and newcomers alike.

7. The Last of Us Part I (PS5)

Forever tainted by its high launch price, The Last of Us: Part I is a faithful remake of Naughty Dog's 2013 masterpiece that brings the post-apocalyptic adventure up to modern standards. While the gameplay is largely untouched, its visuals shine with stunning character models, gorgeous backdrops, and an abundance of detail to ensure there's something to look at in every corner. Some will forever question why it was needed, but The Last of Us: Part I has never looked better.

6. Silent Hill 2 (PS5)

Comfortably one of the greatest remakes around — especially when you narrow it down to the survival horror genre — Silent Hill 2 is a triumph of a resurrection from Bloober Team and Konami. The vast majority of the original PS2 masterpiece is faithfully brought back with modern visuals and gameplay design, and then expanded upon in all the right ways with bigger areas to explore and then new endings. Silent Hill 2 remains just as incredible as it did back in 2001 thanks to the delicate and appreciated work of Bloober Team.
