Playstation 5 (PS5) - Physical games list

[scaryice | 585]

Hello, I've decided to keep track of PS5 physical releases from day 1. I'll only be keeping track of the regular editions of each game, and only the American versions. By using unboxing videos, I'll also hopefully have a detailed list of inserts as well. Feel free to correct me if you find any mistakes here, and please offer any suggestions below.

Code-only physical releases (no disc)

Notes

Inserts - a list of what's included in the game box. I noticed with the PS4 that this could change in rare occasions with later print runs. It could also be different in Canada vs the USA. My goal is to record the American release day versions here.

Should consider adding “playable offline” as in, if you NEVER EVER connect your system to the internet then the game would still be installed and playable by using just the disc.

[fox | 1,665]

maybe include info about a next gen upgrade path if available?

Miles Morales, AC, and Planet Coaster are suppose to have free next gen upgrades if you get the PS4 version

I'm more interested in making a list for collecting purposes than worrying about that. I think it's actually pretty rare for Playstation discs to be unplayable without online, unlike so many Switch carts. Then, there's also the whole debate about what exactly is "playable" since a game could have some stuff on disc. So, I'll leave a list like that to someone else.

This is for PS5 discs only. I don't want to include PS4 games, even if they're part of that program. Just PS5 discs.

Besides you guys, it's already hard enough to fit this table on VGS without adding more columns... I want to add more notes, but I don't know how I would fit it.

[scaryice | 585]

A few notes:

• Planet Coaster may have been released on 11/10. But, it seems weird to consider a game to be out before the system itself. I'll just list it as a day one release for now.
• Already there are some naming issues. I guess I should probably call the game Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales (which is how Sony is referring to it, even though the front of the box is different)?
• Godfall is reportedly a timed exclusive.

It looks like these are the remaining physical releases for 2020, did I miss any?

[TDIRunner | 2,731]

I did not realize that Dirt 5 was already being released.  I'll be looking forward to that one.  I love that series.  

[fusoyaff2 | 50]

Woohoo, already own 20% of the library, and should have Demon's Soul under my Christmas tree if my wife picked up on the hints I was dropping.

Bear in mind, Limited Run Games already has 2 PS5 games for sale on their site.

[scaryice | 585]

Looks like the first month (November 2020) is done, with 13 releases. I was able to find unboxing videos of everything but Just Dance 2021. I did find a PS4 unboxing for it. Not worried though, since there will soon be used copies to check out.

Ideally, I was thinking it might be possible to try to get high quality photos of every insert for future preservation. From the community, I mean - I certainly don't plan on buying everything (I actually don't even have a PS5 yet). However, I don't know if I care that much about this to go to that length.

Given the formatting issues here at VGS, I may just simplify this list to deal with inserts only. I can always keep a more detailed list in my spreadsheet or elsewhere. I'll see.

[scaryice | 585]

Looks like 11 games were released in December for a total of 24 in the system's first year. That's higher than the 16 for the PS4's first year. There's also a physical copy of Fortnite, but it doesn't include a disc. I'll probably start a separate list of those as well.

Found unboxing videos for 21/24 so far, so I just need to get the other three eventually and also clean up the names. Looks like 12/21 actually came with an insert in the box, while 9/21 came with nothing. Most of the inserts are dlc codes or ads, and I haven't seen any actual manuals yet. The art cards for The Pathless are cool, though.

Thanks, just updated it through February. There appears to be only 4 physical games released in Jan/Feb, so we're up to 28 overall. March looks busy though, there's like 10 games this month.

[Buckwheat | 0]

Thank you for keeping this up to date.  I am also keeping track and I came up with the same list for March.  I'm trying to purchase all physical releases for the PS5 and there aren't many places to find this information. 

[scaryice | 585]

Updated through May. There were some conflicting release dates for Mortal Shell & Destruction All Stars - may have to clear that up later. Looks like Terminator Resistance was the first limited release game?

[RH | 4,903]

This will be an interesting list to follow.  As someone who only has a passing interest in this generation, of the current games, which one has the best example of utilizing all of the PS5s graphical tools, especially Ray Tracing?  Anyone know.

I'm also interested in an Average Joe consumer mini-review of the audio.  Sony made some BIG claims about their adaptive audio and how you could dial in the settings for your home or headphones.  Is that really all it's cracked up to be?  Audiophiles are free to respond, but again, if you have an average interest in that type of thing, I'd like to know if you've noticed the difference and your thoughts.

Interesting question, how to you mark the release date on limited print games? While they have a specific date when they go up for preorder, often it's not clear exactly when the earliest point a game is shipped out.

I haven't played every PS5 release, but I've kept up on the Digital Foundry videos. Based on those, Ratchet and Clank seems to have the most impressive RT implementation so far.

The 3D audio is nothing special. Sony just didn't want to pay Dolby for Atmos implementation so they made their own version. The console has dedicated hardware for spatial audio, but that doesn't really mean much since we've had high-quality positional audio for a long time.

4/30 was the date listed by Gamefaqs for Terminator (which looks to be the same as the psn release date as well). The first Ebay copy sold with an actual picture was on 5/5, so that seems to match up.

There was also the limited release of Cthulhu Saves Christmas. Anyway, the first post is now updated through July.

Insert information is available for 60/75 games. Out of those games, 32/60 have at least one insert, while 28/60 have nothing.

Do you happen to know if the Fortnite Last Laugh Physical release is the only code based PS5 game so far? I know you’ve chosen not to include those up above.

I think that's correct. I'll add it above in a separate section.

I hate this limited run shit, but Kena is getting a physical release through Maximum Games. I'd hate for anyone here to miss it.

I don't own a single limited run game. IMO it's far better than nothing and I'm glad people are doing it, but I really wish it was more of a "print-on-demand" kind of thing.

As for the PS5.. maybe I'll get one some day, but I still need a PS4.. and a PS3 

[scaryice | 585]

Updated with another 28 games for August & September. Let me know if I missed anything.

Already, it seems like it can be hard to find accurate info about release dates for certain games. For example, WRC10: Gamefaqs says 9/2, Best Buy says 9/7, and Amazon says 9/21. It shouldn't be this complicated for games that just came out!

I know it can be a bit confusing with digital vs physical, and different regions, but still.
