Best PS5 games 2021 – what to play now
Here are our top picks…
Astro’s Playroom – Bundled with the PS5, this could easily be dismissed as a gimmick to show off the DualSense joypad. But it’s a brilliant and wondrously sensory game in its own right – not to be missed.
Spider-Man: Miles Morales – This add-on to the Spider-Man video game reboot is truly gorgeous and shows off the graphical heft of the PS5. It’s also good fun, and you’ll likely lose hours just swinging around snowy Manhattan.
God of War – Revamped for the PS5, this iconic PS4 titan is more stunning than ever. It’s one of the best games of the decade, undoubtedly. A must-play, even if you’ve never touched the franchise before.
Fall Guys – It’s cheap, cheerful and endlessly addictive. Think Takeshi’s Castle meets Fortnite.
Fifa 21 – Let’s be honest: if you care at all about football, you probably already have this. But we had to include it for good measure!
Hitman 3 – Agent 47 is back and he’s looking all swanky with ray-traced graphics and exotic new locations (including Dubai) to explore…and well, murder in.
It Takes Two – This action-adventure platformer is designed for two players (so you’ll need two DualSense joypads, or find a mate online). You play as a married couple planning to divorce, who have been turned into dolls by their daughter Rose – heartwarming and loads of fun.
Call of Duty Warzone – It’s still totally free to play, and newly updated with the Pacific-region Caldera map to explore. Good fun solo or with pals.
