The next few months are going to be absolutely massive for PlayStation 5 gamers thanks to all the big new games scheduled to release. The PS5 has been an incredible success for Sony, and a big reason why it's been able to draw so much interest is thanks to its ever-expanding library of quality games. While there are those that have criticized the PS5's first-party exclusives lineup compared to the PS4, third-party publishers have certainly helped pick up the slack, ensuring that there is constantly something new to play on the system.
This year has been a strong one for the PS5, with the console enjoying a variety of high-quality new game releases, substantial updates for existing games, and more. Most of the highest-rated games of the year are readily available to play on PS5, and soon enough, there will be even more big games for fans to check out.
