This year was a complete triumph for the PlayStation5 community. With exclusive titles like “Horizon Forbidden West” and “God of War Ragnarok”, 2022 didn’t fail to impress. Now, try to imagine that the upcoming PS5 games planned for 2023 will be even better.
Upcoming PS5 games for 2023 will be a blast
Being out for some time already, the PS5 settled quite well and great titles are starting to add up. With several improvements to its predecessors like incredibly fast load times, insane graphics and the astonishing DualSense controller, the PS5 owners can now enjoy a vast collection of great games that is continuously expanding. Even more, 2023 will bring us the PS5 Pro and Slim version.
With that in mind, let’s see what are the greatest upcoming PS5 games in 2023.
Forspoken
Release date: 24.01.2023
Platforms available: Timed exclusive for the PlayStation 5, Microsoft Windows
Square Enix promises to go big with this PlayStation 5 exclusive. Previously called Project Athia, Forspoken is a fantasy RPG set in a magical world. The game will feature swift-moving mechanics, lots of magic and… dragons! Also, fresh details emerged on the PlayStation blog, like new characters, areas and bonuses!
The game looks promising and it surely is one of the most expected upcoming PS5 games for 2023!
Dead Space
Release date: 27.01.2023
Platforms available: PlayStation 5, Microsoft Windows, Xbox Series X
Only three days after the Forspoken release, a full remake of the first Dead Space game will land in the stores. With the last part of the series released in 2023, many people believed EA will let it die. It was said that its successor, The Callisto Protocol should be the future of the series. Contrary, to our joy, the first game of the series will have a remake.
The next-gen rebuild will take advantage of modern technology and will surely deliver terror unseen in the first games. The game will benefit from an open-world update to make it up to this day’s standards.

Resident Evil 4

A remake of the successful 2005 game, Resident Evil 4 will feature the same events from Leon Kennedy’s hardcore mission. Bringing back all the thrills and excitement, the game will follow the same story carefully, but with improved gameplay and graphics. Pretty great, right?
Looking more realistic, the game will surely make us feel the classic Resident Evil feeling. Can’t wait to get the goosebumps in 4k on this amazing title from the upcoming ps5 games.
Dead Island 2

Platforms available: PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Microsoft Windows, Xbox Series X and S, Xbox One.
A fresh game from the Dead Island franchise is back! The sequel took literally years to arrive after being delayed and presumably cancelled several times.
Based on melee combat, with an accent on slashing and hacking, the game will test your survival skills. Are you ready to stay alive, while isolated and surrounded by zombies who are trying to kill you? Prove your worth in Dead Island 2!
Final Fantasy XVI
Release date: 22.05.2023
Platforms available: Timed exclusive for PlayStation 5 for six months, then available on Microsoft Windows and more TBA
Announced at The Game Awards 2022, this amazing game from the everlasting series brought to life by Square Enix will be here in no time. The 16th main instalment will feature segmented open environments, an action-based combat system, based on the traditional one but with several improvements, including both melee and magic fighting styles.
In case you were wondering, yes, you will still be able to ride a Chocobo! Thank you Square Enix for that! Besides this, Eikons will still be present in the gameplay.
The game has been in the concept development state for quite some time, starting in 2015. This lets us rest assured that the story which is based on state conflicts, destruction and a classic revenge quest, will be excellent and totally worth the wait.
Marvel’s Spider-Man 2
Release date: TBA (probably sometimes in fall)
Platforms available: PlayStation 5 exclusive
The game should reach the consoles sometime during the fall of 2023, based on Sony’s PlayStation Blog.
