Here are the best Disney games on PS5.
Disney Dreamlight Valley is the ultimate life simulation game for Disney enthusiasts who adore Animal Crossing and can't get enough of Stardew Valley. In this game, you step into the shoes of a customizable avatar tasked with restoring the titular land to its former glory after it falls victim to the Forgetting, a mystical event that causes Disney characters to lose their memories or flee to their respective worlds due to the menacing Night Thorns.
While the journey to rebuild Dreamlight Valley involves hard work and resource gathering, the joy of befriending every Disney character, including the villains, makes it a rewarding experience. It's a relaxing game perfect for family time on the living room couch.
Originally launched on the PS4 in 2019, Kingdom Hearts 3 benefits immensely from the PS5's enhanced graphics. The game follows Sora's quest to reclaim his Power of Waking alongside Donald and Goofy, while Riku and King Mickey search for Aqua, Terra, and Ventus, and Kairi and Lea train to become Keyblade wielders. All these storylines converge in preparation for the final showdown with Master Xehanort.
New gameplay mechanics like Attraction Flow and Athletic Flow, along with worlds inspired by Toy Story, Monsters Inc., Big Hero 6, Tangled, and Frozen, enrich the experience. The Re:Mind expansion further deepens the narrative and challenges you with battles against data versions of Organization XIII members and the enigmatic Yozora. It's a stellar addition to the Kingdom Hearts series, keeping fans eagerly awaiting Kingdom Hearts 4.
Winner of a Grammy for Best Score Soundtrack for Video Games and Other Interactive Media, Star Wars Jedi: Survivor is hailed as one of the best Star Wars games ever created. Set five years after the events of Fallen Order, you guide Jedi Knight Cal Kestis as he battles the Galactic Empire while seeking a safe haven.
Customize Cal's appearance, wield a unique Lightsaber reminiscent of Kylo Ren’s, and explore meticulously crafted levels teeming with NPCs. With its immersive world and exceptional soundtrack, Jedi: Survivor offers an unforgettable Star Wars experience.
Despite Disney owning the Marvel universe, Sony has masterfully crafted Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, which earns its place on our list. This PS5-exclusive game follows Peter Parker and Miles Morales as they juggle their personal lives and superhero responsibilities amidst new threats like Kraven the Hunter and the Venom symbiote.
Picking up from Spider-Man: Miles Morales, the game introduces new web-based gadgets and Spidey suits tailored to each hero's unique play style, including the iconic Venom suit for Peter. Its massive success, with 2.5 million copies sold in the first 24 hours, and its promotion on Wheaties cereal, cements it as the best Spider-Man game to date.
For those craving a racing game featuring a plethora of Disney characters, Disney Speedstorm from Gameloft Barcelona is the perfect choice. This free-to-play PS5 game mirrors the fun of Mario Kart, but with racetracks themed around the worlds of Mickey and Friends, Mulan, Monsters Inc., Beauty and the Beast, Frozen, and Pirates of the Caribbean. Minor characters serve as Crew Members, boosting the racers' stats.
Despite its gacha-esque microtransactions, Disney Speedstorm offers a delightful crossover racing experience, allowing you to compete as iconic characters like Mickey Mouse, Mulan, Sulley, Jack Sparrow, or Elsa.
Gargoyles Remastered revives the classic 16-bit Sega Genesis game for the PS4, allowing you to control Goliath in his battle against the evil Eye of Odin. Spanning from the Viking invasion of Castle Wyvern to their awakening in modern-day Manhattan, the game offers a nostalgic journey with a toggleable artstyle between the new look reminiscent of the Disney animated series and the original pixelated visuals.
Enhance your platforming and combat skills with the instant rewind feature, and enjoy the dynamic soundtrack that adapts to the chosen visual mode, providing the best of both worlds.
The Disney Classic Games Collection brings beloved retro titles to modern consoles, thanks to Digital Eclipse and Nighthawk Interactive.
