PlayStation 5 has a spectacular lineup of video games for 2023, and all the titles look extremely promising. The list includes games of all genres, from RPGs to action and adventure ones. It contains titles like Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, Street Fighter 6 and Star Wars Jedi: Survivor. 

Although the list of spectacular games coming out in 2023 is never ending, we’ve listed 10 of the most highly anticipated games debuting on PS5 games next year below. 

PS5 Games – Final Fantasy XVI 

Putting fantasy video games to a new level, Final Fantasy XVI will blow players’ minds away with its spectacular plot and gameplay. It will release exclusively for PS5 and PC.

The sensational RPG takes place in Valisthea, a fantasy world. It features six exclusive factions; the Grand Duchy of Rosaria, the Kingdom of Waloed, the Iron Kingdom, the Dhalmekian Republic, the Holy Empire of Sanbreque, and the Crystalline Dominion. One royal from the Grandy Duchy of Rosaria, Clive Rosfield, goes on a journey for revenge after the dark Eikon, Ifrit, destroys his life. Thus, there will be lots of fighting in Final Fantasy XVI, including magical powers and melee-based sword attacks.

The exact release date for the upcoming Final Fantasy game is unknown as of yet. However, it will come out in Q2/ Q3 2023. 

PS5 Games – Spider-Man 2 

Spider-Man 2 was unveiled by Sony all the way back in 2021 during the PlayStation Showcase. It will feature Miles Morales, Peter Parker, Venom and several other fan-favourite Spider-Man characters.

The official trailer featured Peter and Miles fighting alongside to keep their city safe from threats. However, one particular enemy, Venom, will come back and ruin the peace of New York. It is now up to the power-duo to fight him and keep everyone safe.

Unfortunately, there aren’t many details about the gameplay and storyline. However, it will be just as spectacular, if not more, than its predecessor- Spider-Man 1. We do not have a release date as of now, but the game is expected to come out in 2023. 

Resident Evil 4 Remake

Resident Evil 4 will be a remake of the original game from 2005. It offers a different take on the gruelling adventures of Leon Kennedy as he embarks on a journey to find the missing daughter of the president. However, unlike other Resident Evil games, this one does not feature zombies as enemies. Instead, they are replaced by infected villagers that are just as scary and traumatizing as the undead.

This isn’t the first Resident Evil remake. A Resident Evil 2 remake precedes it. Thus, the Resident Evil 4 remake will probably follow the same pattern as the previous remake. It will feature the same story with improvements in gameplay and 4k vision. 

The release date of the highly anticipated Resident Evil 4 remake is March 24, 2023.

Street Fighter 6 

The famous street fighter game series is getting another addition in 2023! The new title, Street Fighter 6, features the ultimate fighting experience with infamous fighters and several game modes. 

So far, we only know seven of the fighters; Ryu, Jamie, Juri, Luke, Chun-Li, Kimberly and Guile. More fighters will be introduced in the coming dates as we come closer to the release date. Moreover, the game developers have also released exclusive footage of one of the game modes; the Fighting Ground Mode. It’s a 1v1 versus game and features a spectacular fight with superior combat skills.

Star Wars Jedi: Survivor 

Star Wars Jedi: Survivor is next in line after Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order. It is set in a timeline that is five years ahead of the events of Jedi: Fallen Order. 

Fans should be prepared for a darker adventure as this upcoming title is full of troubles and challenges. Cal Kestis is one of the few Jedis that are alive, and he must ensure his safety. Moreover, the spectacular lightsaber we crafted in Jedi: Fallen Order will end up with the Inquisitors along with the decommissioning of the Stinger Mantis Ship.
