The new generation of video game consoles is coming soon. The new PlayStation 5 console and the DualSense controller will give us more of the same but better. As Sony aspires to compete once again for dominance in the market from Christmas 2020 against Microsoft, one of the most important things to consider will be the PS5 games at launch.

And these PlayStation 5 launch games are what we are going to talk about in this article, which is a list of the confirmed PS5 games available at launch you can enjoy at (or around) the same time this swanky new gaming machine comes out.

One thing should be clear before we start: there are still PS5 games release dates that are not officially confirmed. So we will stick close to those PS5 games launch titles confirmed to be on the next-gen Sony console, either cross-gen or exclusive PS5 games at launch by the end of the year.

PS5 Games at Launch That Will be Available When the Console Comes Out

Sackboy: A Big Adventure

One of Sony's newest and most charming mascots, the iconic rag creatures will return with a game full of jumping, color and fun. And knowing Media Molecule, no one is surprised that Sackboy: A Big Adventure will end up becoming one of those PS5 games at launch that nobody expects much from and yet ends up becoming one of the most pleasant and recommended surprises on the console.

Demon’s Souls

In collaboration with Japan Studio, Bluepoint will bring back to the PlayStation 5 the title without which the Dark Souls franchise, Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice or Bloodborne would never have existed. Although not many details are known, we know that the remake will have ray tracing, a new and mysterious game mode called "Fractured", and two options for the graphics.

Destruction AllStars

Destruction AllStars is a fast-paced action game in which we will drive through all kinds of arenas and get out of vehicles to smash our opponents. It's like Rocket League but without rules and with savagery and insanity as the selling point. A very interesting title among PS5 games at launch for lovers of multiplayer and arcade titles.

Call Of Duty: Black Ops Cold War

It will be available day one on PS5, but this depends on the day the Sony console hits the stores in a country. It is confirmed that we will have a campaign mode, which is a sequel to the first Black Ops that will take us to the Cold War at the beginning of the 80s in countries like Turkey and Vietnam and iconic places like Moscow or Berlin.

Watch Dogs: Legion

The most ambitious installment of the Watch Dogs franchise will also be one of the great PS5 games at launch from the firm led by Yves Guillemot. The CEO has confirmed that Watch Dogs Legion, Rainbow Six Quarantine, and Gods and Monsters would be cross-gen: For the PS4, Xbox One and PC as well as for the PS5 and Xbox Series X.

Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales

In a manner similar to Infamous: First Light, which served as the expansion to Infamous: Second Son, but sold separately, this Spider-Man: Miles Morales is an expansion of the Spider-Man original we can enjoy in 2020.

It will retain the gameplay mechanics of the original in addition to introducing new ones, with an original story centered on the character that gives the game its name, Miles Morales.

Bugsnax

From the creators of Octodad comes this surreal adventure in which the bugs that roam the countryside are snacks and the inhabitants of the island take their form every time they eat them. One of those wacky scenarios with a lot of humor that can end up being the most touching.

NBA 2K21

The latest game that is already released and will be featured on the PS5 before the end of the year is NBA 2K21. The excellent sports game is already a real treat on the PS4, so we can't wait to see what else it is capable of in the new generation.

DIRT 5

This Codemasters game is a new, more ambitious installment with not just rallies but off-road racing, and all kinds of new additions will also be released on PlayStation 5. We don't know a date for DIRT 5 yet, but on current-gen systems, we'll be driving on mud and tarmac starting in October.

Assassin’s Creed: Valhalla

The latest episode of the long-running Ubisoft franchise presented this April will not miss the new generation of consoles: Assassin's Creed Valhalla. Ubisoft Montreal, along with fourteen other development studios has been working on what is said to be one of the most ambitious PS5 games at launch for this franchise.

Other games which will be available on the PS5 at launch are

  • Astro’s Playroom
  • Fortnite
  • Planet Coaster
  • Call of Duty Warzone
  • Observer: System Redux
  • Godfall
  • Rainbow Six Siege
  • WRC 9

In case you are asking, 'will PS5 games run at 120FPS?' Then it is confirmed some games will be able to run at that frame rate on the console.
