We’re coming up to three years since the PlayStation 5 first entered the world. For most of those years, the PS5 has been sold out; however, since Christmas, the console has been in plentiful supply, and Sony actually just celebrated a milestone of 40 million consoles sold.

Whether you’re new to the PS5 or are a veteran player, there are always new games to discover. In fact, Sony reports that there are more than 2,500 PS5 games now available. To figure out which are considered the best, PlayStation published a list on its blog detailing the top 40 games on PS5, as voted by players.
