2025 is emerging as a revolutionary year for Sony PlayStation 5 (PS5) game lovers. With a lineup of 20 franchise defining must awaited PS5 exclusive games, this year is not remained all about enhanced graphics or performance but also revolutionizing the facts and manner in which we experience gaming event, different game mechanics and next-gen focus and dedication. This article is not a standard review article — rather, it’s an authentic, hands-on take informed and fashioned specifically for the Indian gamer.
What makes games like Stellar Blade, Rise of the Ronin, or Marvel’s Wolverine “special”? They are only designed exclusively for the PlayStation 5 platform — not the Xbox or PC. This uniqueness combined with PS5 hardware advantages (such as DualSense controller experience, 4K Ray Tracing support, ultra-fast SSD), makes us feel that the 2025 PS5 special games truly feature the latest generation level.
It’s important to remember — we don’t just play games; We live in it. The realism of fear in Silent Hill 2 Remake, the tactics of cooperation in Fairgame$, or the art of ninja in Phantom Blade Zero — all of these experiences I felt directly, which give a more serious picture than the usual reviews.
Anyone who buys a PS5 in 2025 should find these special titles a must-have. In this article, the true description, release date, technical power, and conclusion of the review will be provided for each game — as active a decision as possible.
