Astro's Playroom
Astro's Playroom appears to be a sequel or spin-off to the critically acclaimed Astro Bot: Rescue Mission. JapanStudio is developing the game, and while the original Astro Bot was a VR title, the reveal did not show a VR set-up. The reveal was opened with "Press the PS Button" screen, hinting the game makes use of the DualSense controller's functionality. Similar to the Playroom augmented reality mini-game collection on PS4, Astro's Playroom will come preloaded on PS5.
Release Date: Holiday 2020
Bugsnax
Bugsnax is an adventure game from Octodad developers Young Horses. It's set in a vibrant fantastical world filled with talking anthropomorphic animals, as well as insects that look like real-life food, hence Bugsnax. Get it?
Release Date: TBA
Deathloop
Deathloop is the latest game from Arkane Studios, a developer known for their work on the Dishonored series. Set on a mysterious island, it tells the mind-bending story of Colt and Julianna, who are stuck in a loop that repeats each time one dies. As Colt, you're trying to stay alive on the island of Black Reef while everyone's out to kill you, including a player-controlled Julianna that can invade your game. So far, the game looks pretty similar to Dishonored in that there are various firearms, blades, and powers you can use to get the jump on or directly engage enemies. It will come to PS5 as a timed-exclusive.
Release Date: TBA
Demon's Souls Remake
For a while, we all wondered what Sony-affiliated developer Bluepoint Games was going to do next. After its work on the fantastic Shadow of the Colossus remaster on PS4, the studio teased that it was working on another remake. In the months that followed, new speculation and rumors stated the next project was a remake of the cult-favorite Demon's Souls--the origin point of FromSoftware's work on the massively popular Soulsborne genre.
If the possibility of a Demon's Souls remake thrilled the core of your being, then know that you can now allow that excitement to finally burst, as it's now officially confirmed: Bluepoint Games is remaking Demon's Souls. With overhauled visuals built from the ground up for PS5, consider this upcoming remake as Sony's redemption for refusing to publish Demon's Souls all those years ago.
Release Date: TBA
Destruction Allstars
Destruction Allstars is a competitive action-sports game that has teams of six go head-to-head in vehicular combat, destroying each other's rides. Just because your car explodes, doesn't mean it's over, as you can then sprint around the arena in an attempt to beat the other on-foot racers.
Release Date: TBA
Ghostwire: Tokyo
Ghostwire: Tokyo is the latest project from famed developer Shinji Mikami and his studio Tango Gameworks. It's a psychological horror first-person action-adventure game set in Tokyo, where people start mysteriously disappearing, and your objective is to figure out why. The debut gameplay showed off fighting spirits with a combination of melee and magic attacks. There were also glimpses of otherworldly demonic creatures occupying Tokyo disguised as salarymen. As the hero, you can see and adequately fight against these threats. It will come to PS5 as a timed-exclusive.
Release Date: TBA

Counterplay Games is working with Borderlands studio Gearbox to release a fantasy action-RPG called Godfall as a console exclusive for PlayStation 5.

The brief glimpse introduced what appears to be the main cast of characters, who seem to be gathering together to burn a mysterious journal. All the while, high school drama ensues!
Release Date: TBA 2021
Grand Theft Auto Online & Grand Theft Auto V
Considering how successful Grand Theft Auto Online still is for Rockstar Games, it makes sense we'd see it transition over to next-generation consoles. Coming in the second half of 2021, the standalone version of GTA Online will be free for PS5 users for the first three months of its release. Grand Theft Auto V is also coming to the next-gen console in 2021. According to the brief trailer showcased at the start of the presentation, both will be expanded and enhanced.
Release Date: TBA 2021
Gran Turismo 7
It wouldn't be a new console generation without a new Gran Turismo game. What was showcased was a quick glimpse of the driving in the new Gran Turismo 7, but if the game's anything like previous entries, we'll be sure to get more of the series' iconic sim mechanics.
Release Date: TBA
Hitman III
The next Hitman game features Agent 47 taking part in his "most intimate and professional contract" ever. He will travel to places like Dubai, among others, to complete his contract. Developer IO Interactive also confirmed that Hitman III represents the final game in the World of Assassination trilogy.
Release Date: January 2021
Horizon Forbidden West
It makes sense that Guerilla Games would unveil the sequel to its critically acclaimed Horizon Zero Dawn during Sony's PS5 event. Once again, you play as Aloy, who's on a journey to help find a cure for a plague that appears to be causing local wildlife to die off. While you can expect to hunt more robotic beasts on land this time around, you'll also be able to explore underwater and discover more dangerous secrets beneath the surface.
Release Date: TBA
Jett: The Far Shore
Superbrothers, the developer behind the critically acclaimed Superbrothers: Sword & Sworcery EP, finally revealed its next game.

Aside from all the surreal visuals, little else is know about the exact premise of the game.
Release Date: Holiday 2020
Kena: Bridge Of Spirits
Kena: Bridge Of Spirits, an upcoming adventure game that has you exploring a lush, vibrant world filled with ancient ruins and villages. While you have magical powers and bow at your disposal, you'll also fight with the aid of a woodland spirit, who seems to travel alongside you in your adventure.

Little Devil Inside
Little Devil Inside is an open-world RPG, where you play as a young boy traveling around various locations and battle a variety of monsters. Developer by Neostream Interactive, the game was successfully funded on Kickstarter and was initially expected to arrive on current-generation consoles in December 2015, but was pushed back as its scope grew larger. Regardless, Little Devil Inside will now be making its way to PS5.
Release Date: TBA
NBA 2K21
Only a brief glimpse was shown of NBA 2K21, but what we saw was pretty darn impressive. Admittedly, the first look was labeled as "PS5 pre-alpha" footage, but that didn't make the droplets of sweat on New Orleans Pelicans star Zion Williamson look any less jaw-dropping.
Release Date: TBA
Oddworld: Soulstorm
Oddworld: Soulstorm is a remake of 1998's Oddworld: Abe's Exoddus, the second game in the Oddworld franchise. Soulstorm recreates Abe's Exoddus with enhanced visuals but also expands upon the game with revised story elements and more action-focused combat mechanics.
Release Date: TBA 2020
Pragmata
Pragmata is a surreal action game set in an abandoned world starring an astronaut and a little girl with mysterious powers. The trailer didn't offer much else to go on, but we're going to have to wait a while for the game to come out, as it's expected for sometime in 2022.
Release Date: TBA 2022
Project Athia
Project Athia is a new project from Luminous Productions, a studio led by Square Enix veteran Hajime Tabata. You play as a mysterious cloaked girl who explores a massive fantastical world. It will come exclusively to PS5.
Release Date: TBA
Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart
Insomniac Games is also hard at work on another Ratchet & Clank sequel. The game's subtitle Rift Apart seems to encapsulate the new mechanics at play this time, with inter-dimensional rifts causing chaos and pandemonium as you explore the world.
Release Date: TBA
Returnal
A new third-person shooter from House Marque (Resogun, Nex Machina), Returnal puts you in control of an unnamed woman who has landed on an alien planet to fight against what appears to be demonic creatures. The narration at the start of the trailer said she was reliving her first moments on the planet "over and over" in some bizarre time-loop. As such, the planet appears to change every time you die, impacting the player's character. It will come exclusively to PS5.
Release Date: TBA
Sackboy: A Big Adventure
Sumo Digital (the team behind Little Big Planet 3 and Little Big Planet on PS Vita) is working on an LBP spin-off called Sackboy: A Big Adventure. This upcoming game will be a 3D platformer with an isometric perspective and will feature cooperative multiplayer.
Release Date: TBA
Solar Ash
The next game from the team behind the critically acclaimed Hyper Light Drifter is coming to PS5. Entitled Solar Ash, you appear to play as a female being who travels into a black hole and awakens in a vibrant but seemingly desolate world. From the early gameplay, the game looks to be an action-platformer with a brisk pace.
Release Date: TBA 2021
Spider-Man: Miles Morales
Spider-Man: Miles Morales is the follow-up to 2018's Marvel's Spider-Man, a PS4-exclusive starring Peter Parker as the titular web-slinger. It's currently unclear whether the game is a sequel to 2018's Spider-Man or a spin-off. Regardless, you play as Morales as he embarks on a crime-fighting journey after discovering that he has spider-powers after the end of the first game.
Release Date: Holiday 2020
Stray
Stray is an adventure game set in a post-human world populated mostly by robots. As a stray cat, you'll explore the rusted, clanking corridors of a crumbling cyber-city.
Release Date: TBA 2021
Resident Evil: Village
Resident Evil: Village is the next mainline entry in Capcom's long-running survival horror franchise, and it looks horrifying and ridiculous. The series is getting even weirder as it pushes the present timeline forward with new terrors that go against the grain of the T-virus infected zombies and test tube abominations that longtime fans have come to expect.
Set in an isolated village in the mountains, Resident Evil Village has you playing returning RE7 protagonist Ethan Winters, who must fight his way to escape what appears to be a cult led by a cast of eerie villains. Also, Chris Redfield makes a return and he seems to be playing the role of a villain this time. Though it's currently unclear why he's so antagonistic against Ethan. Regardless, Capcom seems to be taking bold steps away from what we've come to expect from the franchise with its next-generation debut.
Release Date: TBA 2021
