This year was a complete triumph for the PlayStation5 community. With exclusive titles like “Horizon Forbidden West” and “God of War Ragnarok”, 2022 didn’t fail to impress. Now, try to imagine that the upcoming PS5 games planned for 2023 will be even better.

Upcoming PS5 games for 2023 will be a blast

Being out for some time already, the PS5 settled quite well and great titles are starting to add up. With several improvements to its predecessors like incredibly fast load times, insane graphics and the astonishing DualSense controller, the PS5 owners can now enjoy a vast collection of great games that is continuously expanding. Even more, 2023 will bring us the PS5 Pro and Slim version.

With that in mind, let’s see what are the greatest upcoming PS5 games in 2023.

Forspoken

Release date: 24.01.2023

Platforms available: Timed exclusive for the PlayStation 5, Microsoft Windows

Square Enix promises to go big with this PlayStation 5 exclusive. Previously called Project Athia, Forspoken is a fantasy RPG set in a magical world. The game will feature swift-moving mechanics, lots of magic and… dragons! Also, fresh details emerged on the PlayStation blog, like new characters, areas and bonuses!

The game looks promising and it surely is one of the most expected upcoming PS5 games for 2023!

Dead Space

Release date: 27.01.2023

Platforms available: PlayStation 5, Microsoft Windows, Xbox Series X

Only three days after the Forspoken release, a full remake of the first Dead Space game will land in the stores. With the last part of the series released in 2023, many people believed EA will let it die. It was said that its successor, The Callisto Protocol should be the future of the series. Contrary, to our joy, the first game of the series will have a remake.

The next-gen rebuild will take advantage of modern technology and will surely deliver terror unseen in the first games. The game will benefit from an open-world update to make it up to this day’s standards.

In case you were wondering, yes, you will still be able to ride a Chocobo! Thank you Square Enix for that! Besides this, Eikons will still be present in the gameplay.
