What types of games are available on PlayStation 5?

The PlayStation 5 library covers every genre, from action adventures and sports titles to strategy, racing, and creative indie games. PlayStation Studios continues to release exclusive experiences built specifically for PS5, while third-party publishers provide cross-platform favourites.

Both digital downloads and physical discs are supported across the PlayStation 5 consoles with a disc drive. The Digital Edition is limited to only digital downloads and can not play physical games unless expanded with a Disc Drive add-on.

Can you play PlayStation 4 games on PlayStation 5?

Yes. Most PlayStation 4 titles are backwards compatible on all PS5 models. You can insert a PS4 disc (on disc-based models) or redownload digital purchases tied to your PlayStation Network account. Many PS4 games benefit from faster load times and higher frame rates through PS5’s hardware.

Earlier generations (PlayStation 3, 2, and 1) are not natively playable on PS5. Select legacy titles are instead available digitally through PlayStation Plus Premium, which offers classic game streaming from older consoles.

Can you gift games on PlayStation 5?

Direct digital gifting through the PlayStation Store is not supported. The simplest way to gift a game is to buy a PlayStation Store gift card, allowing the recipient to choose and download titles themselves. Physical disc editions remain an easy option for gifting.

Does PlayStation 5 come with games?

All PS5 consoles include Astro’s Playroom, pre-installed and ready to play. It highlights the DualSense controller’s adaptive triggers and haptic feedback.

For buyers looking to start with more than one title, console bundles are available. These packages typically include a PlayStation 5 console plus one featured game, giving customers a quick way to start playing immediately.

Can you share games on PlayStation 5?

Yes. On PlayStation 5, you can share your games with others using a feature called Share Play. With Share Play, a PlayStation Plus member can invite a friend to join their game session remotely, even if the friend doesn’t own the game. You can only use Share Play with one person at a time.

There are different Share Play modes, including the ability to let your friend watch you play, take control of your game, or play together in supported co-op games. To play together in co-op mode, both players must have an active PlayStation Plus membership. Other modes require only the host to be a member.

A Share Play session can last up to one hour and requires a minimum internet speed of 2 Mbps for both players. It's a convenient way to try games with friends, get help in difficult sections, or simply play together online—even when only one person owns the game.

Does PlayStation 5 have a Game Pass?

Sony offers PlayStation Plus, a subscription service similar in spirit to Xbox Game Pass. It comes in three tiers:

• Essential: multiplayer access, cloud saves, and monthly downloadable games.
• Extra: a catalogue of hundreds of downloadable PS4 and PS5 games.
• Premium: adds streaming for older titles plus access to PlayStation Classics.

Games claimed through PlayStation Plus remain available only while the subscription is active. Once cancelled, access ends until the membership is renewed. Games in the catalogue are digital only. They can be downloaded and played locally but are not provided as physical discs.

Are there PlayStation 5 exclusive games?

Yes. PlayStation Studios and partner developers continue to produce exclusive PS5 titles that showcase next-generation visuals, faster load speeds, and the full capabilities of the DualSense controller. These exclusives remain central to the PlayStation experience and are regularly added to the console’s lineup.
