The PS5 turns four years old this year and since then, several games have been released. But which games are truly Next Gen
? This question was also raised by a Reddit user who received some recommendations from the community under his post.
The PS5 was released on November 19, 2020, and since then, many games have come out. However, to this day, many games are also available on the PS4, which often raises the question: Which game is truly Next Gen
?
This question was posed by the user Man_mannly who published the post What games truly PUSH the PS5? on Reddit, under which many players gave their recommendations.
What aspects are the users referring to? It must be noted that these are purely recommendations based on players’ experiences. They are not deep, technical analyses showing which game requires what performance or which game is technically
the most impressive.
Players especially enjoy the PS5-exclusive games
Which games are frequently mentioned? One game that is often mentioned is the remake of Demon’s Souls by Bluepoint, who had previously remade Shadow of the Colossus. Frequencykenneth states that Demon’s Souls is a truly beautiful game.
When he started the remake for the first time, he took a moment to admire the surroundings. What’s remarkable about Demon’s Souls is primarily because it is a launch title for the console.
One of the newest features of the PS5 controller is the adaptive triggers, which allow for a different resistance to be defined depending on the weapon or action of the game. According to kylozen101020, Returnal especially utilizes this feature like no other game. Helldivers 2 is also praised for its meaningful use of the adaptive triggers.
Another often-mentioned candidate is Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart. The game offers many next-gen features like ray tracing or the imperceptible loading times in the titular portals. For user OpieMushroom, Rift Apart was a grand experience:
I think Ratchet and Clank A Rift Apart has impressively showcased the capabilities of the PS5. […] It looks great and sounds awesome, and plays mechanically excellently. The ray tracing is really well implemented. The haptics are solid. The action scenes and visual variety are at blockbuster level.

Besides Rift Apart, many players also mention Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, another game from Insomniac Games. Many of the PS-exclusive games eventually make their way to PC because it has proven profitable for Sony in the past: Sony will soon release more “first-party” titles on Steam that were previously only available for PS5 – in 2022, they made a lot of money
The users also especially name Sony-exclusive games like Gran Turismo 7 and Horizon Forbidden West, as well as Final Fantasy 16. Noteworthy third-party titles include Alan Wake 2, Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty, and the remake of Dead Space.
