Here’s Every Confirmed PlayStation 5 Launch Game

The PlayStation 5 is looking seriously slick, and we’ve previously been promised it’ll have the “best lineup” of any Sony console, ever. That’s a pretty big claim right there, so let’s have a look at all the first party titles which have been confirmed as day one releases for PS5.

What is a first party title?

Just so there’s no confusion, here we’ll be looking at first party titles only. What that means is games created by studios owned by Sony, as opposed to next-gen games for all platforms like Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War, Assassin’s Creed: Valhalla and Watch Dogs Legion. Godfall is a launch game for PS5, but isn’t a first party title. With that being said, let’s jump on into it.

PS5 Launch Games

A free game? Yes please! Sony has confirmed that Astro’s Playroom will come preloaded onto your PS5, meaning if you’ve spent out on the console itself, you’ll at least have one game to dive into.

The game’s description reads as follows: “Astro and his crew lead you on a magical introduction through PS5 in this fun platformer that comes pre-loaded on PS5. Explore four worlds, each based on PS5’s console components. Each area showcases innovative gameplay that taps into the new features of the PS5’s DualSense wireless controller.”

Master the art of intense vehicle-based combat through timing, tactics and skills to cause colossal amounts of damage, destruction and devastation in vibrant arenas across the globe.”
