Breaking Best Playstation Games On PC

From action blockbusters to RPG epics, here's the best of the PlayStation games we're playing in 2025.

Part of the appeal of gaming on PC is the sheer breadth of the platform. That hasn't stopped some pesky console exclusives slipping through the net over the years, but these days most are coming across. Most of the best PlayStation games to play on PC come directly from Sony themselves. You only need to scroll through our review section to find deep dives into PS5's biggest hitters that have landed not long after their initial PS5 releases.

I've been a PC player for a long time, as well as working across two console mags: Official PlayStation Magazine and PLAY Magazine. I first played the iconic PS1 titles Metal Gear Solid and Final Fantasy 7, and even PS2's Silent Hill 2 on PC. Now, the most exciting new game releases on PS5 don't take long to come to PC. It's a thrill to not only play fab indie gems on the Steam Deck, but take PS5 games on the go that would otherwise be bound to a big screen at home. I've even reviewed some of the best PlayStation games to play on PC for PC Gamer myself! So join me as I rank them below, and take a look at what you might expect to see in the future.

This cosy adventure offers a slew of tightly designed stages full of blissful bubble bursting as you hoover up collectibles, and stuffed 'til the stitches strain with snappy levels and interesting gimmicks. Playable in co-op, this already gorgeous and colorful platformer is even gorgeous-er with PC enhancements like VRR and DLSS.

With a background in arcade-style games like Outland and Nex Machina, Housemarque was never a developer confined to PlayStation, so it's great that with Returnal they've made their return to PC. And what a comeback. Combining their twitchy shooter chops with the kind of blockbuster presentation we expect from PlayStation Studios, Selene's mission to survive the clutches of a grisly alien planet is magnificent. A roguelike loop ties together a nightmarish story of endless reincarnation, all while giving you plenty
