We've been running these lists quarterly since 2019, but it's only now that we feel the PS5 has a list of games strong enough to justify its own distinct page away from the PS4. That's not to say these games are all exclusive to the console — that really would be a short list — but we have looked for games that generally offer meaningful improvements over their last-gen counterparts when played on PS5. Usually we'd take this opportunity to tell you what's new for this edition, but well, they all are. We'll be updating this periodically, so, if a game's just been released and you don't see it, chances are that the reason for its absence is that we haven't played through it yet. Either that or we hate it.
