The PlayStation 5 has been out for some time now, and its reception has been mostly positive. It includes lots of quality-of-life improvements over its predecessor, the PlayStation 4, such as faster load times, a solid-state drive (SSD) instead of a regular hard disk drive (HDD), and an improved controller in the form of the new DualSense. However, a console is only as good as the games available on it and, thankfully, the PS5 has you covered on that front as well.
While the machine already has a worthy library of great PS5 games, there are even more to look forward to — most of the best upcoming video games are going to hit PS5. Some will be completely free PS5 games, some will be PS5 exclusives, and others will be completely cross-platform so you can play with friends on Xbox, PC, and Switch.
In the video game world, it’s not uncommon to be aware of games that are still several years out from release. It’s also normal for a new game to be revealed and launched within just a couple of months. In this comprehensive list, we’ll go through the major PS5 releases scheduled for 2024 and speculate on future games.
These are the best upcoming PS5 games to look forward to.

Lego Horizon Adventures
Path of Exile 2
Set years after the original Path of Exile, you will return to the dark world of Wraeclast where, since the death of Kitava, society has been slowly rebuilding. Ambitious men rise to fill the void and their thirst for power is once again corrupting the region.
Marvel Rivals

Sid Meier's Civilization VII
Kicking off the year, Civ 7 will make the wait for any other game you have on your wish list that much easier. This is the first time the series is launching on consoles at the same time as PC, so you can enjoy this epic 4X game along with everyone else.

Monster Hunter Wilds
Tales of the Shire
Marathon - April 27, 2025
Bungie is looking to reaffirm its mastery in sci-fi shooters (see Destiny 2 and Halo) by giving a nostalgic nod to the ’90s with the revamped classic Marathon. The PvP-focused extraction shooter unfolds on the enigmatic Tau Ceti IV, where players become cybernetic mercenaries navigating the remnants of a lost colony. Solo or in crews of three, they hunt for alien artifacts, loot, and gear.
Expected 2025 releases
These games are confirmed to be coming to PS5 at some point soon. Some have been given vague 2025 release plans while we’re just speculating on others. We have hope for them all though,
Borderlands 4
Indiana Jones and the Great Circle
Ghost of Yotei

Grand Theft Auto VI
Light No Fire
From the creators of No Man’s Sky comes a fantastical exploration adventure with a lot of promise. Light No Fire takes place on an alternate Earth where mythical creatures like animated skeletons and dragons roam. We don’t know a lot about this title yet, but it looks similar to Hello Games’ previous hit — there will be lots of foraging, crafting, and trekking across a massive world. Platforms haven’t officially been announced but we expect it to launch of PS5.
Death Stranding 2 - TBD
Gothic 1 Remake
Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2
Doom: The Dark Ages
