Game Informer Unveils Top 10 PS5 Games: Resident Evil Requiem Leads the Pack

Game Informer, a prominent video game publication, has released an updated list of the top 10 PlayStation 5 games, highlighting the console's best titles since its 2020 launch. The list, which is not ranked but presented in reverse chronological order, includes recent releases such as Resident Evil Requiem (February 27, 2026) and Ghost of Yōtei (October 2, 2025), as well as earlier standout titles like Returnal (April 30, 2021). The selection aims to showcase games that exemplify the PS5's power and push the medium forward.

The list features a diverse range of genres and developers, from Capcom's survival horror to Sucker Punch's open-world action and Sandfall Interactive's RPG Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. Notably, several games are multiplatform, including Baldur's Gate 3 and Elden Ring, reflecting the evolving strategy of PlayStation to embrace cross-platform releases. Game Informer notes that the list will be updated over time, with previous entries like Horizon Forbidden West and It Takes Two moved to a separate section.

This update provides valuable insight into the current gaming landscape, where exclusivity is no longer the sole driver of success. The inclusion of titles like Resident Evil Requiem, which releases in 2026, indicates the publication's forward-looking approach. As the PS5 matures, such lists will continue to shape consumer preferences and industry discourse, influencing both players and developers.
