While it was a bit dicey at the start with the inability for many gamers to nab themselves PlayStation 5 units for months post-launch, we are now well and truly into the ninth generation of video game consoles. Sony Interactive Entertainment has confirmed that they have now sold 40 million PlayStation 5 units worldwide. In sharing this announcement, the PlayStation team had this to say:
PS5 launched with the best catalogue of games in PlayStation history and the momentum for great content keeps getting stronger. From innovative indie games to AAA blockbusters, there are more than 2,500 PS5 games now available, and it’s never been a better time to experience PS5. In the last two months alone, we have seen incredible new games from our partners, including Final Fantasy XVI, Diablo IV, and Street Fighter 6.
Since the launch of PS5, players have been enjoying a selection of great games that illustrate how games are as vast and creative as any other entertainment medium. To that end, here are 40 games that have been voted for by PlayStation players that illustrate games are as vast and creative as any other entertainment medium.
A great addition to the PS5 generation has been the array of accessories. Over the past two and a half years, PlayStation has unveiled new ways gamers can customise the experience and bring exciting colours into their homes. There is now a range of colourways for the DualSense wireless controller and PS5 console covers. These accessories have proven really popular as players want their PS5 to reflect their taste.
The PS5 was developed with the community at the forefront of our thinking, which led us to deliver innovations like the adaptive triggers and haptic feedback in the DualSense controller as well as PlayStation VR2. PlayStation Studios and our third-party partners have jumped in to take advantage of these capabilities and expand their creative toolkit to deliver a generational leap in the experiences they bring to gamers.
Complementing this announcement, Sony Interactive Entertainment shared the above infographic, highlighting what they claim is “40 games that have been voted for by PlayStation players”. Some good options throughout that list, whether you choose to play the non-exclusives on the PlayStation 5 – or a competing console.
