Our upcoming PS5 games 2025 list includes every title coming to Sony’s console this year. 2024 was a strong year overall for PlayStation 5, but there was a distinct lack of first-party exclusives from Sony’s revered studios. Hopefully, that will change this year.

It's hard to keep track of every title released on PlayStation 5, particularly as announcements happen sporadically throughout the year and games can often get delayed. Our upcoming PS5 games 2025 list will ensure that you’re always aware of what’s around the corner and it can serve as a timely reminder about titles that you may have missed or simply forgotten about.

We’ll update this page regularly, so check back for all the upcoming PlayStation 5 game release dates in 2025.
