Regular price: $59.99 / £59.99 / AU$124.95

The latest entry in Polyphony Digital's incredibly detailed and comprehensive racer is actually the 8th release, despite what its name might suggest. Series veterans will know what to expect here, with garages upon garages of meticulously realised cars and race tracks.

Elden Ring

Regular price: $59.99 / £59.99 / AU$124.95

From Software's spiritual successor to the Dark Souls series takes its tough-as-nails RPG formula to vast and extravagant new heights with a rich and detailed open world full of wonder and menace. Lots of talk surrounding the game has suggested it's the most accessible in the series yet, which is certainly true in some sense, but this is still a challenging and perilous game. The new land is fascinating to explore and absolutely gorgeous, but it can still quickly punish mistakes and risks alienating those not prepared to study and practise.

Horizon Forbidden West

Undoubtedly one of the PS5's biggest exclusives, Guerilla Games' follow up to its dino-mech action-adventure launched on February 18, 2022. This time around, Aloy heads to the titular new region of post-apocalyptic America, which is a much larger open-world environment than the one in the previous game. New features include refined melee combat, reworked climbing mechanics and much more interesting traversal options.

Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart

Regular price: $69.99 / £69.99 / AU$124.95

Ratchet and Clank have landed onto our consoles once again, this time being built for PS5 from the ground up. That means Rift Apart is one of the best showcases of the power of the current-generation console. While the humor doesn't quite hit like it used to, the duo's latest outing is certainly a marvel - from fast-paced action sequences to gorgeous settings to the arsenal of outrageous weaponry. 

Resident Evil Village

Regular price: $69.99 / £69.99 / AU$124.95

Returnal hit the shelves with a lofty price tag, but has dropped down in cost substantially since release. Our Returnal review celebrated the roguelike's genre bending, putting a third person shooter experience on the timeloop permadeath central mechanic. An unpredictable but excellent story nonetheless, those seeking out a challenge will be at home here.

Hitman 3 is the final installment in the assassin trilogy, featuring back with brand new maps, plenty of hilarious secrets, and all that classic stealth puzzle solving.

You'll also likely want to check out the latest DualSense PS5 controller deals for this one because the local multiplayer mode is well worth grabbing a spare gamepad for.

Godfall

Regular price: $69.99 | £69.99 | AU$124.95

Godfall was there from the very beginning as one of the first games announced for the PS5. While it wasn't a massive hit, it has taken some pretty substantial price cut since it launched so is a great budget choice. You can generally find the game hovering around the $20 / £20 mark, but it has dipped below $15 / £10 in the past so keep an eye out for a particularly compelling deal.

Dirt 5

Regular price: $59.99 | £54.99 | AU$114.95 

Dirt 5 offers a free PS5 upgrade for those who have purchased the PS4 disk, so you should be keeping an eye on both versions of the game in order to find the best price possible.
