The PlayStation 5 is set to hit its 2nd anniversary, and with that, many wonders when the next iconic PlayStation brand IP will be released. There’s a lot to look forward to for PlayStation 5 owners, but whilst waiting, there are some great games available for the PlayStation 5 with a brilliant amount of joy and replayability to them.
PlayStation fans are still waiting on the release of certain IPs, like the announced Marvel’s Spider-Man 2. Patience is its reward to gamers, and games need a lot of time to get perfect for the hands of the player. Whilst playing some of these replayable titles, gamers won’t mind waiting for new PlayStation 5 exclusives.
8 Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockout
60 players act as cute jellybean-like contestants to compete through escalating rounds in an absurd ever-changing obstacle course. There’s a lot of chaos in Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockout, and with 60 players trying to achieve the crown, only one lucky, or skilled victory can remain. Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockout is great fun.
The game doesn’t punish rookies or pros. Every player is the same, with their clothing from season passes and the in-game store allowing them to mix and match themselves onto their character. There’s a highly concentrated amount of hilarious fun, and each round of Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockout is more fun than the last.
7 Deathloop
When an unknown man awakes on an island after being killed by a mysterious woman, he soon finds that his name is Colt, and he has a mission: put an end to the timeline that traps him on the island of Blackreef. Deathloop is a quirky, smart, and highly stylized game, where powers and weapons are unique to the player, as are how they choose their day-to-day.
The island of Blackreef resets every 24 hours, meaning Colt wakes on the same beach, and all its inhabitants are none the wiser to having their daily cycle repeat, over and over again. Due to the repetition, Deathloop is greatly replayable, as each cycle is unique depending on the actions the player takes.
6 Cyberpunk 2077
In the dark future, Night City thrives in corruption and the obsessive molestation of nature as humans thrive for power, glamor, and unrecognizable body modifications, further cementing themselves as a machine. Cyberpunk 2077 does a lot of interesting things with the themes of its story, and the many missions available.
Players find themselves as V, a Night City citizen who seeks something greater, to be one of the leading people at The Afterlife, and a Night City Legend. Pairing a data chip with the memories of Johnny Silverhand, V can decide to fade away or make his mark on Night City. The replayability comes from the beautiful graphics of the city and the different options in the multiple choice RPG for missions.
5 Hitman 3
Although not everyone can become a professional assassin, Hitman 3 makes it, so they won’t have to. Enter Agent 47, one of the world’s most legendary and lethal assassins, players can use their creativity and improvisation to defeat their targets in the most ingenious and spectacular ways. This sprawling sandbox has plenty of opportunities for freedom of play.
Each mission of Hitman 3 has multiple unique avenues and ways to defeat a target. From finding secret rooms to studying the paths and day-to-do of the target. There are a lot of ways to replay Hitman 3, due to the many ways a mission can be accomplished.
4 Elden Ring
The newest fantasy action RPG was released into the players’ hands in 2022, and Elden Ring more than accomplished what it set out to do. Developers From Software are known for the difficulty and challenge that comes with their games, and Elden Ring is no exception. The player exists as The Tarnished and must make their way through the Lands Between through the guidance of grace, to relish or repair the power of the Elden Ring.
Games like Elden Ring are often replayed, due to the many exciting ways to experience the game. Players have found a multitude of builds to enjoy, from sorcery to swords, to even fists only. Elden Ring is an example of a replayable RPG done right, with so much to do, and so much excitement in doing it again.
3 Gran Turismo 7
For the car lovers out there, the graphical capability, and attention to detail found in Gran Turismo 7 hold above all competition. The game exists for both the competitive racer and the casual, with the game offering plenty of vehicle options. From collecting, to tuning, to even photographing the highly detailed vehicles available in the game.
Gran Turismo 7 has a fan-favorite campaign, a driving school, and an arcade mode. Racing friends and strangers online has never been more exhilarating, with loud engines, and intense turning. Anyone can win, and replaying each race is the key to becoming faster.
2 Demon’s Souls
The entire replayability of the ‘souls-like’ genre would not exist with Demon’s Souls. The game was remade for an exclusive release to the PlayStation 5, and BluePoint Games put in an impressive and wonderful level of attention to detail to bring players the original experience, but entirely new and groundbreaking for the technology of the PlayStation 5.
With Demon’s Souls, players will want to explore every inch of the 12th kingdom of Boletaria. There’s plenty to discover, with NPCs, hidden locations, and enemies galore. Each playthrough of Demon’s Souls will make the player stronger, and hungrier for the ruthless gameplay that has them feast on souls.

Fortnite is a great battle royale, with genius talent developing the game constantly. Fortnite is always changing, making each drop from the battle bus a new experience.
