Whether you’re a longtime fan or a newcomer to the ecosystem, these PlayStation exclusives are defining the year in gaming.

1. Ghost of Tsushima: Spirit’s Edge

Sucker Punch has returned to the windswept island of Tsushima, this time expanding the universe with a new protagonist and darker, supernatural themes. “Spirit’s Edge” offers a seamless blend of swordplay, stealth, and mythological horror, making it one of the most emotionally gripping and visually stunning games of the year.

2. Marvel’s Wolverine

Insomniac Games delivers again with Marvel’s Wolverine, a gritty, mature action game that breaks away from the lighter tone of Spider-Man. The combat is visceral, the story is character-driven, and the game pulls no punches in showing Logan at his rawest. It’s already being hailed as one of the best superhero games ever made.

3. Final Fantasy XVII

This mainline Final Fantasy title is a timed exclusive on PlayStation and showcases Square Enix’s cinematic storytelling at its best. With a bold new combat system, richly detailed world, and emotionally charged narrative, Final Fantasy XVII is a must-play RPG that feels both classic and refreshingly new.

4. Stellar Tides

A surprise hit, Stellar Tides is a PlayStation Studios space exploration adventure that combines open-world exploration with deep narrative choices. Think Mass Effect meets No Man’s Sky, but with the polish and focus only a first-party studio can deliver. It’s already sparking discussions about Game of the Year.

5. Horizon: Eclipsed Earth

Guerrilla Games has expanded the Horizon universe once again, this time with a new protagonist in a drastically transformed version of Earth. The gameplay is tighter, the machines are more dangerous, and the world is bigger and bolder. Eclipsed Earth is a technical showcase and a narrative triumph.
