Upcoming PS5 exclusives include AAA first-party games, as well as Sony's future slate of multiplayer titles, something slightly newer that the publisher seems to be pushing quite hard. Regardless of what kind of games you like to play, there are plenty of exclusives coming to PS5, many of which already have release dates or broad release windows.
In terms of upcoming games, the next year or so of PS5 exclusives look set to be an extremely strong lineup. That's before you consider the multiplayer offering, with games like Marathon set to continue Bungie's reign over the FPS game genre.
Here are the upcoming PS5 exclusives to look forward to in the coming years. We'll only be covering games that have been officially confirmed for release, many of which already have solid release dates locked in. In terms of what games we've chosen to include here, these are either only coming to PS5, or are console exclusives, meaning they are also set to launch on PC. We'll indicate where each game sits with regard to these release platforms as we go.
There are currently 12 major PS5 exclusives planned for future release on the PlayStation 5 console. We've listed them below, alongside their release dates where available.
In terms of what games we've chosen to include here, these are either only coming to PS5, or are console exclusives; the latter meaning they are also set to launch on PC. We'll make that clear with each entry below too so you have a clear picture of what's what.
Marvel's Spider-Man 2 is the next PS5 exclusive that'll come out, arriving on October 20, 2023. You'll play as both Miles and Peter, and you can even switch between them seamlessly while out in the open world. The web-swinging duo will face off against Venom, Kraven, and other iconic villains over the course of the story, and it looks like we'll be seeing symbiote-suit Spider-Man this time around as well. From what we've seen, it might just end up on our best PS5 exclusives list by the end of the year.
This one is only launching on PS5, with no other platforms announced for the future.
Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth continues the story where 2020's Final Fantasy 7 Remake left off. There's a whole open world to explore as Cloud, Tifa, and Barrett are joined by new characters. Sephiroth will play a much larger part this time around too, and by the looks of things, the story will deviate from the events of the original game.
The next chapter in Cloud's story will only be launching on PS5 but has been confirmed to be a 'timed-console exclusive,' meaning it could theoretically come to PC once that exclusivity period ends. Nothing has been confirmed so far, however.
The Silent Hill 2 remake is being handled by Bloober Team, the studio behind the Layers of Fear
