Three visually captivating video games for the PS5, setting new standards for this gaming era
The PlayStation 5, celebrating its fifth anniversary this year, has been a game-changer in the world of gaming, showcasing some of the most visually stunning titles ever created. Here is a roundup of some of the most graphically impressive games on the console.
Horizon Forbidden West, widely recognised for its impressive visuals and emotional depth, sets a high graphical benchmark on the PS5. Its large, detailed world is a testament to the console's power.
Marvel's Spider-Man 2 showcases the PS5's full potential with detailed open-world visuals, expressive animations, and fluid gameplay, making it one of the most visually ambitious titles.
Gran Turismo 7 delivers spellbinding 4K visuals, realistic physics, and supports ray tracing and up to 8K resolution on PS5 Pro, making it a top-tier racing game in terms of graphics.
Cyberpunk 2077: Ultimate Edition impresses with its large, detailed city, high-fidelity cinematics, and enhanced graphical quality through the Phantom Liberty expansion.
Devil May Cry 5: Special Edition features multiple graphics modes with ray tracing, 4K resolution, and high frame rates, providing both technical polish and impressive visual effects.
In the realm of action-adventure games, God of War Ragnarok is a giddily violent romp through Norse mythology with diverse environments that are a feast for the eyes. Nearly every frame is screenshot-worthy, and on PS5 Pro, the best-looking Favour Quality mode can run at 60fps. The performance capture work is impressive, and the game's facial expressions, particularly on its A-list cast, are a standout feature.
The open-world setting in Death Stranding 2: On the Beach is stunningly well-realized, offering a visual feast for the PS5. Sam often encounters amazing vistas to stare at, and weather plays a major role, with rainfall behaving about as convincingly as it ever has in a game.
Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart is a cartoon caper game known for its jaw-dropping graphics and OTT arsenal of weapons. The interdimensional environments are lushly rendered and feature ray tracing, and the rift set pieces allow seamless transitions between different environments with no loading.
Looking ahead, upcoming games leveraging Unreal Engine 5 are expected to push PS5 graphical fidelity further in 2025 and 2026.
