Complete list of PlayStation 5 games: Confirmed, exclusive and rumored

Every seven years or so, one video game console life cycle comes to a close and a new generation begins. 2020 is one of those years. Before Christmas, both Microsoft and Sony will be releasing high-end new consoles within weeks of each other: the Xbox Series X and PlayStation 5.

For many, choosing which console to buy will come down to the games available. Both manufacturers have in-house developers working on exclusive titles.

Below you will find a regularly-updated list of all the games confirmed, announced and rumored to be coming to the PS5. Where possible, we’ve indicated the planned release window and console exclusivity. Release dates are global, although prices can differ between regions based on exchange rates.

Note that console exclusivity ignores the game’s appearance on PC. And a “timed exclusive” means that the game will release on PlayStation first, then appear on the Xbox Series X and potentially Nintendo Switch at a later date.

PlayStation 5 games confirmed, exclusive, release dates and more

These titles have either been confirmed or we believe they will be coming to the console based on conversations with major players in the industry. Release dates can shift, however, especially given the challenges the coronavirus pandemic has placed on production.

Pay attention to the “Status,” which can be one of four categories:

1. Confirmed: Some games have been officially confirmed.
2. Announced: Some games have been announced, but the formats are currently unknown — usually a sure sign they’re cross-generation.
3. Rumor: Some games are heavily rumored, but not yet officially announced.
4. Likely: These are games that are highly likely to be on the PS5 based on the historical release patterns of the series or publisher, or the intended release date of beyond 2020.

This list of PS5 games will be updated regularly on the road to the console’s launch. If you know of a title that is not on this list, please let us know.

List of games showcased at PS5 reveal event

On June 11, Sony held a virtual event to showcase the look of the PS5 and the games coming to the console. Here is a list of the games that were announced at that initial reveal event. The event was notable for missing titles from the world’s three biggest publishers (Activision-Blizzard, Ubisoft and EA) and also for not identifying any games as being virtual reality enabled.

Backwards compatibility on the PS5

Like the consoles before it, PS5 will allow you to play a huge selection of the most popular PS4 games.

Sony has placed an edict on developers that any title released for PS4 after July 13, 2020 must work with PS5. Some of the notable games this includes are Fast & Furious Crossroads, Ghosts of Tsushima, PGA Tour 2K11, Marvel’s Avengers and Cyberpunk 2077.

This doesn’t mean that these titles will be PS5 games per se — only that they will work on PS5. However, we are expecting some games to receive dedicated PS5 editions that make use of the new console.
