Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic is often labeled the best Star Wars game of all time and one of the best RPGs ever. From the ground up, a remake is coming to PS5 at some point.

There has been some controversy, with the title delayed as Aspyr Media let go of much of its staff. The development was transferred to Saber Interactive, which has fans hope it will arrive sooner rather than later.


3) Final Fantasy X16

According to reports, Final Fantasy X16 should be available within the first half of 2023. Nothing official has been released, but any time frame bringing it to PS5 consoles fairly soon excites fans.

The next chapter in the Final Fantasy series puts Clive Rosfield in the protagonist's role. Players will venture through the world of Valisthea with the typical gameplay and fighting functionality the franchise is known for.


2) Marvel's Spider-Man 2

Marvel's Spider-Man was the game that reignited fans' love for Insomniac Games. It gave gamers control of Peter Parker with a completely original story that brought the wall-crawler and New York City to life.
