How we picked these games
Checked by Darren. We checked prices against live Shopee Malaysia listings on 26 September 2026, and removed four titles from an earlier version of this list (Demon's Souls, FIFA 22, Apex Legends, Bugsnax) after their listed pages came back delisted, discontinued or free-to-play with no purchase price. We have not completed every game ourselves. We earn a commission if you buy through the links on this page, at no extra cost to you, and it does not decide the order.

| Marvel's Spider-Man 2 | From RM199 | Best for story and action | Action-adventure | 26 Sep 2026 |

Every price is what the physical disc cost on Shopee Malaysia when we checked on 26 September 2026, not a recommended retail price. Prices move with stock and sales, so treat them as the level rather than the exact figure.

Best overall: Astro Bot
It wins on being genuinely fun for a wide age range with no violence, tight platforming and a runtime that does not overstay its welcome, and it is the rare PS5 exclusive both a parent and a kid will ask to keep playing. It loses on replay value once the levels are done, there is no local co-op mode despite feeling like a game built for two.
Skip it if you want an open world to sink hundreds of hours into. Pair it with a second DualSense so a second player can pass the controller between levels.

Best for story and action: Marvel's Spider-Man 2
It wins on two playable Spider-Men swapping mid-mission, a fast-paced campaign and near-instant fast travel that shows off what the PS5's SSD is actually for. It loses on length, most players finish the story in under 15 hours, so it is a rental-length game at a full price.
Skip it if you have already played the 2018 original and Miles Morales and want something unfamiliar. If budget is tight, Ratchet & Clank below is a similar-length action game for less.

Overview
A spin-off to Insomniac’s 2018 Marvel’s Spider-Man; this semi-sequel takes place after the events of the first game and has you control Miles Morales, a new up-and-coming Spider-Man who’s still learning the ropes.
When the original Spider-Man, Peter Parker, is unexpectedly called away from New York, it’s up to Miles alone to stop the villain Tinkerer from destroying his neighbourhood of Harlem.
Spider-Man: Miles Morales takes full advantage of the PS5’s hardware, pushing out ray-tracing features, 4K resolution, as well as supporting haptic feedback for the Dualsense controller. One can feel the tension as you swing from building to building as Miles, in either glorious 4K resolution or a smooth 60 frames per second.
Details
- Features 4K Ray Tracing Graphics Mode or 60fps Performance Mode
- Experience the continuation of 2018’s Marvel’s Spider-Man storyline
- Haptic feedback support for Dualsense controller
Who is this for?
Marvel’s Spider-Man Miles Morales can be played by just about anyone. Even if you haven’t played the original, the game has a short optional intro that introduces you to the world of Spider-Man and quickly recaps the original events.
With 4 different difficulty levels, you can pick up the game easily whether you’re a beginner or a veteran gamer. Although the graphics and gameplay are definitely top-notch, the story is what makes it above and beyond the rest, telling a compelling Spider-Man story that’s full of action and emotion.
Best family-friendly adventure: Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart
It wins on being colourful, easy to pick up for a younger or newer player, and on visuals that use the PS5's SSD to swap entire worlds with almost no loading screen. It loses on replayability once the campaign is done, there is little reason to return after the credits.
Skip it if you specifically want online multiplayer. If your household plays PS5 games together on the sofa, this is the safer pick over Spider-Man 2's slightly heavier tone.

Overview
Great graphics don’t often have to mean photorealism. Sometimes, the amount of detail and attention that goes into the environment and characters can achieve unbelievable results.
Such is the case with Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart. Look up any review online for Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart, and you’ll see that the common phrase is ‘a playable Pixar movie’.
But the game doesn’t just have style. Journey with our two titular characters as they travel to different realities with vastly different environments, often consecutively, thanks to the PS5’s SSD speeds.
- Battle through different realities, each with its own unique challenges and gameplay
- 4K resolution graphics with HDR support for enhanced colours and details
- Haptic feedback and adaptive trigger support for a truly immersive experience
Who is this for?
The game is easy to pick up and play, with charming characters and breathtaking environments that make it great for a kid’s first introduction to gaming.
But although the game might be aimed at beginners, the game’s challenge mode, unlocked upon completing the game, raises the stakes. The challenge here is that enemies will not only hit harder but can take more hits as well.
Best for racing fans: Gran Turismo 7
It wins on car count, track variety and a career mode that rewards learning a car properly, running at 4K and 60fps. It loses on progression pacing, which leans on microtransactions if you want to skip the grind for the fastest cars.
Skip it if you just want arcade racing for a party. It rewards patience more than any other game on this list.

Overview
5 years after their last entry, the Gran Turismo series returns with a bang. This racing simulator boasts photorealistic graphics ripped straight out of reality, running them at a crisp 4K resolution and a smooth 60 frames per second.
Challenge yourself by racing over 420 cars, both vintage and modern, over 90 different race tracks in dynamic weather conditions. Hone your skills to rise to the top of the leaderboard and earn prizes based on your performance.
Details
- Collect, customise, tune, and race your cars in your very own Dream Garage
- Features the return of GT Simulation Mode, Gran Turismo’s Single Player Campaign
- Haptic feedback and adaptive trigger support for an immersive experience
Who is this for?
Gran Turismo was made for racing fans. It's clear that the developers have an amazing eye for detail, with every car being unique to handle and race. Still, there’s an arcade-like quality to Gran Turismo’s racer that most gamers would be sure to appreciate.
Best for multiplayer sports nights: EA Sports FC 26
It wins on being the current-season football title with up-to-date squads and clubs, local multiplayer for two controllers on one sofa, and online cross-play with friends on other platforms. It loses on shelf life, next year's roster update makes this year's rosters feel dated.
Skip it if nobody in the house follows football. It is the easiest "everyone already knows how to play" pick on this list.
1 more point
Best for hardcore multiplayer (18+): Call of Duty: Black Ops 6
It wins on being the newest Call of Duty on shelves with an active online population, plus Zombies and Warzone modes that add hours beyond the campaign. It loses on being 18-rated content with realistic violence, not a pick to hand to a younger player.
Skip it for a family or kids slot entirely; use Astro Bot or Ratchet & Clank above instead. Keep this one for the adults in the house.

How to choose a PS5 game in Malaysia
Is the game rated for the player who will actually play it?
Malaysia sells the same age ratings as the rest of the region: Astro Bot and Ratchet & Clank are all-ages, EA Sports FC 26 is a teen-friendly sports title, and Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 is 18-rated with realistic violence. Check the rating on the box before buying for someone else.
Single-player or multiplayer, and does it need a second controller?
Astro Bot, Spider-Man 2, Ratchet & Clank and Gran Turismo 7 are single-player campaigns you can still hand back and forth. EA Sports FC 26 and Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 need or benefit from a second DualSense if you want to play against someone in the same room.
PS5 exclusive or available on other platforms too?
Astro Bot, Spider-Man 2 and Ratchet & Clank are PS5-only, part of why they justify owning the console. Gran Turismo 7, EA Sports FC 26 and Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 are also on other platforms, so buy those specifically for the PS5's DualSense features (adaptive triggers, haptics) rather than exclusivity.
Digital download or a physical disc?
Every price on this page is for the physical disc, which can be resold or lent once finished and is usually the cheaper option in Malaysia through Shopee sellers. A digital copy costs the same or more from the PlayStation Store but saves a trip and never needs the disc reinserted.
Frequently asked questions
What's the best game on PS5 right now?
Astro Bot, RM254.83 on Shopee Malaysia (checked 26 September 2026). It won Game of the Year in 2024 and is one of the few PS5 exclusives suited to every age in the house.
What are the top 10 games on PS5?
We keep this list to 6 titles we can stand behind with a checked Malaysian price rather than padding to 10. Of the six, Astro Bot, Marvel's Spider-Man 2 and Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart are the PS5 exclusives most commonly named on other "top PS5 games" lists; Gran Turismo 7, EA Sports FC 26 and Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 cover racing, sports and shooter multiplayer.
Which PS5 game is worth buying?
For most buyers, Astro Bot at RM254.83. If you already know you want a specific genre, Gran Turismo 7 for racing, EA Sports FC 26 for football with friends, or Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 for online shooters are each worth their price for that specific use.
Is it still worth buying a PS5 in 2026?
Yes for the exclusives: games like Astro Bot, Spider-Man 2 and Ratchet & Clank only run on PS5 and are built around its SSD speed and DualSense controller. If you only care about EA Sports FC or Call of Duty, those also run on PC and other consoles, so the PS5 is not required for them specifically.

What changed on this page
- 26 September 2026: full rebuild to our listicle standard. Removed Demon's Souls, FIFA 22, Apex Legends and Bugsnax after their linked Shopee listings came back delisted, discontinued or free-to-play with no purchase price; the Miles Morales listing had itself been relisted by the seller as Marvel's Spider-Man 2, so the pick and its card now match what that link actually sells. Added Astro Bot, EA Sports FC 26 and Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 as current replacements, each with a checked Shopee Malaysia price and a Play-Asia second retailer leg. Added a direct answer, comparison table, per-pick verdicts, how-to-choose section and this FAQ; the previous version had none of them.
