You Are Reading :The Best Online Multiplayer Games You Can Play On PS5

Playing games solo is awesome. You get to sit back, relax, and do whatever you want, at your own pace, without the need to talk to anyone or justify anything you’re doing. That being said, sometimes you just want to hop in, load some shells into a boomstick and show the whippersnappers who’s boss.

Of course, not all multiplayer games have guns, and not all multiplayer games are filled with kids. This social offshoot of gaming is overflowing with games, genres, brands, and potential. Whether a loaded rifle is your cup of tea, or you prefer the sour taste of coffee-infused uppercut, there is something out there waiting to lure you in. Quick heads up, this list will only include games that have been optimised for PS5 – no PS4 backwards compatibility shenanigans.

5 Rainbow Six Siege

Rainbow Six Siege has had six years of growth, and boy has it grown. Not only is the game functioning as intended, but its core foundation has also been built upon year after year. This is a hardcore multiplayer shooter where movement, positioning, map awareness and player skill is put to the test every second you are alive. It’s an absolute blast to play with randoms, but if you have a squad of friends raring to go, then this game is elevated to all new heights. The updated PS5 version even adds in 4k resolution, 120FPS, faster loading times and Dualsense support.

When it comes to first-person shooting, few games can deliver the high-stake, higher-reward thrills that Siege brings to the table. Rounds are quick, results are immediate, and learning the intricacies of its combat is fun and rewarding. The game is constantly evolving bringing new ways to play, and keeping the core experience fresh.

4 Guilty Gear Strive

Guilty Gear has been around for a long time. Way longer than most gamers, even those with a fondness for fighting games, realise. The series started picking up steam around about Guilty Gear Xrd Revelator 2, and the latest entry, Guilty Gear Strive, has managed to drag the world into its midst with limited kicking and screaming. There are not that many fighting games that are PS5 optimised, but Guilty Gear Strive is most certainly one of them.

Fighting games are often considered difficult, convoluted, or time-consuming by the average gamer – all of which has been addressed in Guilty Gear Strive. Strive is one of those games that’s easy to pick up and play, and almost impossible to put down. You don’t need to remember endless combo strings, you don’t need to grind training modes, you can just hop in and have a blast. That doesn’t mean the game is lacking in depth, either. If and when you’re ready to step up and reach for Heaven, the game will be there to reveal all of its interconnected glory.

3 Destiny 2

Bungee struck gold with Destiny way back when and then managed to find a whole new vein when they released Destiny 2. Jam-packed with single-player, multi-player, cooperative, and competitive gameplay, there is a little something waiting for everyone when they hop in. The game is easy to pick up, controls like a dream and provides a steady progression stream meaning you are always doing something of value.

Once you’ve stomped through the main game and exhausted all the available content, then there are a bunch of expansion packs that add even more stuff to the already meaty ensemble. How you decide to play Destiny is up to you, but if you let it sink its teeth into you, then you can find yourself lost in a community-driven well of content. Strikes are always fun, but Raids are where things really start to click. Who would have thought an online looter shooter with MMO DNA would be so darn addictive?

2 Genshin Impact

There’s a reason Genshin Impact is one of the most popular games in the world – it’s pretty darn good. It takes the vast openness of games like Breath Of The Wild and combines it with complex upgrade systems, a seemingly endless number of characters, and modes that allow players to team up and tackle the game’s challenges together. It even has cross-platform play, allowing everyone from everywhere to join the fun.

Genshin Impact is one of those games that contains loads of depth, content and reasons to keep coming back. Since its launch, it has gone from strength to strength, and there are no signs of it slowing down. As a final cherry-on-top of a well-made cake, Genshin Impact even looks amazing, with gorgeous environments, detailed character models, and eye-watering effects. It’s free to download too.

1 Final Fantasy 14: A Realm Reborn

Final Fantasy 14 is a proud member of the “Big Five” – MMORPG’s that have managed to coexist in beautiful harmony and rack up millions of active players. Coming with an incredibly in-depth class system that grants players vast amounts of freedom when customising their avatar, a compelling new-player experience, and a focus on storytelling, Final Fantasy 14 is just waiting to be absorbed by anyone and everyone.

It’s so full of content that it would take thousands of hours to complete, and that number is growing. You can hop into Final Fantasy 14 solo, and find huge communities of passionate players ready to team up and explore Eorzea. One of the benefits of Final Fantasy 14 being 11-years old, is that the game is jam-packed with end-game content, giving you ample reason to make this the game that takes over your gaming schedule for years to come.
