April is already here—where has the year gone? Thankfully, 2025 still has a mountain of amazing PS5 games left to deliver. After feasting on titles like Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, Monster Hunter Wilds, Assassin’s Creed Shadows, and Atom Foolum, it’s easy to think the best is behind us. But there’s always room for second breakfast.
Here are seven incredible PS5 games still to come in 2025.
Ghost of Yote – A Stunning Return to Feudal Japan
Sucker Punch is back with Ghost of Yote, the highly anticipated sequel to 2020’s Ghost of Tsushima. The trailer alone triggers goosebumps with its sweeping visuals and evocative soundtrack. The studio’s reputation for building compelling open worlds filled with memorable characters and fluid combat is well established.
Set 300 years after the first game, Ghost of Yote introduces a new protagonist, Atsu, and explores an entirely different region of Japan. The excitement lies not just in the narrative but in soaking in the beauty of the world. Expect moments of quiet reflection—listening to wind in the grass, the crunch of snow underfoot—interspersed with the elegant brutality of combat. For fans of the first title, this promises to be an unforgettable journey.
Elden Ring: Night Rain – Co-op Soulslike on PlayStation
FromSoftware returns with Elden Ring: Night Rain, a game that wasn’t even on the radar until last year. Yet somehow, it’s become one of the most anticipated titles of 2025. The punishing yet rewarding gameplay style is back, this time with a tighter focus on structure and co-op play.
The addition of three-player roguelike co-op changes everything. Now, tackling punishing bosses doesn’t have to be a solo affair. Whether it’s teaming up with friends or being betrayed by unpredictable allies like Alex (who may or may not be a hostile invader in disguise), Night Rain introduces a new flavor of chaos to an already brutal formula. It’s a brilliant twist on a beloved experience.
Doom: The Dark Ages – A Medieval Bloodbath
Doom: The Dark Ages takes the legendary FPS series in a bold new direction. This time, the Doomslayer dons a cape and rides a dragon while wielding a spiked shield and a weapon known only as the Pulverizer. Yes, it’s as visceral and chaotic as it sounds.
Despite being older than many current gamers, Doom still manages to innovate. The rhythm of its action—an almost meditative trance of gore and gunfire—returns in full force. The visuals are sharper than ever, the stakes are higher, and Ultra Nightmare mode still looms as the definitive test for purists.
The Midnight Walk – Gothic Survival Horror on PS5 and PlayStation VR2
The Midnight Walk stands out for its distinctive style. This claymation survival horror game features the player as “The Burnt One,” navigating a Tim Burton-inspired world alongside a sentient lantern named Potboy. Equal parts charming and unsettling, it offers something few other titles do.
Playable on both PS5 and PlayStation VR2, it enhances immersion with eerie visuals and delicate details, making fear feel close enough to touch. The May 8 release date is just around the corner, so there’s not long to wait. And yes, someone will absolutely be tricked into playing this in VR for content—sorry, David.
5. Hell is Us – No Map, No Waypoints, No Hand-Holding ( PlayStation Games Launching in 2025)
Hell is Us drops players into the war-torn lands of Hidea, where mystery seeps through every corner. The protagonist, Rey, confronts unknown horrors while exploring ruins littered with sci-fi relics and massive alien statues.
What sets it apart is its refusal to hold your hand. With no maps or waypoints, success depends on observation and intuition. That might frustrate some, but for others, it’s a call to truly immerse in the world. When combined with cinematic combat and stellar environmental design, this makes Hell is Us one of 2025’s most intriguing releases.
Little Nightmares 3 – Two Players, Twice the Tension
In Little Nightmares 3, fear is a shared experience. The game retains its haunting aesthetic while introducing co-op play. That means puzzles, jump scares, and creepy porcelain babies can all be faced with a friend—though let’s be honest, one of you will be running the other way.
The series has always walked a tightrope between terror and wonder, and the third entry looks ready to continue that tradition. The opportunity to explore this nightmare with someone else adds a new layer of strategy and screams.
Death Stranding 2: On the Beach – Kojima Unleashed
No list of amazing PlayStation 5 games would be complete without Death Stranding 2: On the Beach. Hideo Kojima once again delivers a game that defies easy description. Rain that accelerates time, transdimensional tar creatures, and puppets that stop motion their way into the story—it’s unlike anything else.
With a powerhouse cast including Norman Reedus, Léa Seydoux, Elle Fanning, Deborah Wilson, and Luca Marinelli, the game oozes cinematic flair. Kojima’s latest is unpredictable, emotional, and visually stunning. For many, this is the game to watch in 2025.
