PS5 exclusives releasing in 2023

The PS5 is set for a blockbuster year with several high-profile games due to release exclusively for Sony’s console. Don’t forget to visit our PS5 restock page if you’re still trying to get your hands on a PlayStation 5. We can help.

Forspoken (out now)

Forspoken was supposed to release last year but was eventually pushed back to January 24 after a couple of delays. A lengthy demo is available to try now on PS5 and it gives you a good idea of what to expect from Square Enix’s magical open-world adventure game. You can also check out our Forspoken review roundup to see what critics thought of Square Enix’s open-world game.

Final Fantasy 16 - June 22

Arguably one of the most anticipated PS5 games of 2023, Final Fantasy 16 is set to grace Sony’s console as a PlayStation 5 exclusive on June 22. Players can expect spectacular combat, an engrossing story, and incredible production values.

Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 - Fall 2023

The web-slinging hero returns to PS5 this summer and judging from the small teaser trailer Sony released in 2021, we’re in for a real treat. The game features both Peter Parker and Miles Morales, as well as Venom.

Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth - Winter 2023

Another Final Fantasy game, another PS5 exclusive. Square’s follow-up to the excellent Final Fantasy 7 Remake gives us the next chapter of the remake trilogy, and it’s shaping up to be another classic.

Silent Hill 2 Remake - TBC 2023

Fans of Silent Hill’s fog-filled streets have had to wait an eternity for this one, but Silent Hill 2 is finally getting a remake. Developer Bloober Team, who were behind the once Xbox Series X exclusive The Medium, are handling this eagerly awaited retelling of Konami’s classic survival horror game.

Stellar Blade - TBC 2023

You may recognize Stellar Blade. The game was previously shown off as Project EVE, and it’s now releasing exclusively on PS5. The game promises to deliver incredible visuals, visceral combat and some epic boss battles.


🏆 Best PS5 games released in 2022

There were some fantastic games released on PS5 in 2022. The year started strongly with the release of Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves Collection, which includes remastered versions of Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End and Uncharted: The Lost Legacy. We also saw the release of Horizon Forbidden West and Gran Turismo 7, The Last of Us Part 1, and God of War Ragnarok.

  • ➡️ These are all the PS5 120fps games

However, my favorite game on PS5 in 2022 has to be Sifu. Sifu is a punishingly hard beat ‘em up that takes inspiration from films like Ip Man and Oldboy. Check it out if you haven’t already.
