Here are the best Disney games on PS5.

Disney Dreamlight Valley

Disney Dreamlight Valley is a dream come true for Disney enthusiasts who adore life simulation games like Animal Crossing and Stardew Valley. In this enchanting world, you embody a custom avatar tasked with restoring Dreamlight Valley to its former glory after a mysterious event known as the Forgetting. This supernatural phenomenon has caused Disney characters to lose their memories and flee to their homeworlds, leaving the valley in disarray. Rebuilding requires dedication and resources, but the reward is immense: befriending every Disney character, including the villains, for a relaxing and family-friendly gaming experience.

Kingdom Hearts 3

Originally launched on the PS4, Kingdom Hearts 3 shines even brighter on the PS5 with enhanced graphics. Join Sora, Donald, and Goofy on an epic journey to reclaim the Power of Waking. The game also tracks Riku and King Mickey's quest to find Aqua, Terra, and Ventus, while Kairi and Lea train to become Keyblade wielders. With innovative gameplay mechanics like Attraction Flow and Athletic Flow, and worlds inspired by Toy Story, Monsters Inc., Big Hero 6, Tangled, and Frozen, Kingdom Hearts 3 is a must-play. The Re:Mind expansion adds depth to the narrative and challenges you with battles against Organization XIII members and the enigmatic Yozora. A stellar addition to the franchise as we await Kingdom Hearts 4.

Star Wars Jedi: Survivor

Celebrated for its Grammy Award-winning soundtrack, Star Wars Jedi: Survivor is hailed as one of the best Star Wars games ever created. Set five years after the events of Fallen Order, you guide Jedi Knight Cal Kestis as he battles the Galactic Empire and seeks refuge. Customize Cal's appearance, master a new Lightsaber stance reminiscent of Kylo Ren's, and explore meticulously designed levels brimming with NPCs. Jedi: Survivor offers an immersive Star Wars experience complemented by a dynamic soundtrack.

Marvel’s Spider-Man 2

Despite Disney's ownership of Marvel, Sony's exclusive grip on Spider-Man delivers Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, a standout title. This PS5-exclusive game continues the saga of Peter Parker and Miles Morales as they juggle personal life with superhero duties amidst new threats like Kraven the Hunter and the Venom symbiote. Picking up from Spider-Man: Miles Morales, the game introduces new web gadgets and suits tailored to each Spider-Man's unique style, including the iconic Venom suit for Peter. Selling 2.5 million copies in its first 24 hours, it's acclaimed as the best Spider-Man game ever.

Crew Members like Orange Bird enhance racer stats, adding a strategic element. While the game's microtransactions may resemble gacha mechanics, the thrill of racing as iconic characters like Mickey Mouse, Mulan, or Elsa is unparalleled.

Gargoyles Remastered

Gargoyles Remastered revives the classic 16-bit Sega Genesis game for modern PS4 and PS5 players. As Goliath, you navigate through the tale of the Gargoyles' struggle against the Eye of Odin, from Viking invasions at Castle Wyvern to their reawakening in modern-day Manhattan.
