Every PS5 and Xbox Series S / X game is available at launch

The PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series S / X are now available worldwide – although we’re still waiting for a release date for Sony’s next-gen console in India – and that means many new games have been released on the side. A new console makes no sense if the powerful hardware cannot be fully used. With that in mind, we’ve made a list of all launch titles available for PS5 and Xbox Series S / X. We also do not list any backward compatible titles. These are all games designed specifically for next-generation consoles. And when we say “exclusive” it means they’re exclusive to PS5 or Xbox Series S / X. They may also be available elsewhere: PC, PS4, Xbox One, or Nintendo Switch. With that in mind, every new game that launches on the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series S / X is available here.
