Pick a game, not just a date
A free evening for a long RPG feels different from half an hour for a puzzle. Check the device first, then decide what you actually feel like playing. Stupid Never Dies and FINAL FANTASY RESONANCE already have PS5 demos if you would rather try before buying.
This is a selection, not every release. Dates and local editions can change; check your regional store before buying. For older games, use the game picker.
