As the PS5 enters its fourth year, the console is really starting to hit its stride with its game library. Most game studios are finally moving away from cross-generation releases on the PS4, which means we have some truly exciting games coming in 2024 that harness the full capabilities of the PS5 hardware.2023 set a high standard for PS5 owners with blockbuster games likeDiablo 4,Spider-Man 2,Street Fighter 6, and more being launched. Can 2024 match that output, or maybe even surpass it? Here are five games coming to PS5 in 2024 that may just do exactly that.

Final Fantasy 7: Rebirth (PS5)
Release Date: 29 February
The sequel to 2020’sFinal Fantasy 7 Remake,FF7 Rebirthwill take players beyond the confines of Midgar to a much larger map that includes areas like Nibelheim, Junon, the Gold Saucer, and others.

Pacific Drive (PS5)
Release Date: 22 February
Inspired by the Strugatsky brothers’ novel Roadside Picnic,Pacific Driveis a first-person survival game focussed around the player escaping an exclusion zone in a slightly ramshackle station wagon.The game’s big sell is the mystery around the “zone”, as well as the threat that you’re escaping from.
The players’bond with the car is also a central tenet of the game, with in-depth customisation mechanics for the car using looted supplies. Aunique atmosphere, unknown threat, and intriguing gameplay makePacific Drivea must-play in 2024.
