Best PlayStation Exclusives To Play in 2025
With more and more console exclusives coming to PC, the term “PlayStation Exclusives” is a bit ambiguous right now. In this article, though, we will discuss the best PlayStation Exclusives you can try in 2025.
5. God of War: Ragnarok
God of War: Ragnarok picks up the story three years after the events of God of War (2018). This time, Midgard is facing the coldest winter it has ever seen. This winter is the beginning of Ragnarok, which means the end of the world. Kratos and Atreus must find the Aesir god Tyre while surviving the wrath of Odin, Thor, and a vengeful Freya in the middle of Ragnarok.
God of War: Ragnarok is an open-world action RPG set in the world of Norse Mythology. It is also a long game. With a runtime that ranges from 21 to 55 hours, the game encourages players to dedicate their time to exploring the rich world of Midgard. With a good story, lore, and great combat mechanics, God of War: Ragnarok does not give the player a chance to feel bored.
4. Demon’s Souls
Demon’s Souls (2020) is one of the earliest PS5 exclusives. This remake brings back the game that invented the famous Souls-like genre. Demon’s Souls is also the first game in the Dark Souls series.
The game takes place in a kingdom named Boletaria. After King Allant, the ruler of Boletaria, awakens an old evil, soul-eating demons overrun the Deep Fog-engulfed kingdom. The player must travel to Boletaria, killing demons and monsters along the way and becoming powerful by consuming their souls to slay King Allant.
Demon’s Souls’s unforgiving game design and larger-than-life bosses create a game where the skills of the player are tested at every turn. This action RPG is notorious for being challenging. If you are not afraid of dying many times and love a game that has a world rich with lore that challenges your skill and rewards you for paying attention, then Demon’s Souls might be the game for you.
3. Final Fantasy VII Rebirth
Final Fantasy VII Rebirth is the latest release in the Final Fantasy franchise, and it is also the second installment of a trilogy. The trilogy is set to completely remake Final Fantasy VII, which was released in 1997.
The game continues the narrative from the previous game, which shows us the protagonist, Cloud Strife, joining Avalanche to stop the Shinra Electric Company and the legendary Shinra Soldier named Sephiroth from destroying the planet.
Final Fantasy VII Rebirth is a JRPG and a sequel to Final Fantasy VII Remake. The gameplay features a vast open world filled with side quests and real-time exploration. Rebirth also focuses more on the hybrid melee combat and Active-Time Battle (ATB), which was introduced in the previous game. The game caters to players who like fast-paced combat, an interesting cast of characters, and a big open world to explore.
2. The Last of Us Part I and II
The Last of Us is a survival horror franchise from Naughty Dog, and it is also one of the most successful PlayStation Exclusives of all time, beloved by fans and critics. Naughty Dog developed the original Last of Us as a story-driven game for the PS3 but recently remade it for the PS5 and released a remastered version of The Last of Us Part II.
Both Part I and Part II stay true to the original game while enhancing the graphical fidelity and game mechanics. In the game, the Cordyceps Virus infects most of the population, turning them into aggressive zombie-like creatures. Ellie is immune to this fungus, so we follow the story of Ellie and Joel developing a bond while they travel a post-apocalyptic land, trying to find the doctors who want to use Ellie to make a cure for the fungus.
1. Ghost of Tsushima – Director’s Cut
Ghost of Tsushima Director’s Cut was released as the enhanced version of the game for PS5. This edition includes some additional features, such as the Iki Island expansion, the Director’s Cut version of the game’s story, and the Director’s Commentary. The Director’s Cut is available on both the PS4 and PS5.
In the game, you play as the samurai Jin Sakai. The game is set during the Mongol Invasion of Japan. The players follow Jin as he chooses between honor and his duty to protect his homeland in this sensational story set in feudal Japan.
The game’s fluid and engaging combat, beautifully crafted open world and well-written characters are considered by the fans to be some of the best in the industry.
The gaming community is always looking forward to PlayStation exclusives. With an impressive lineup of games, including Ghost of Yotei and Death Stranding 2, set to release in 2025, this may be another successful year for Sony and PlayStation.
