The House of Mouse has been delivering exceptional gaming experiences for PlayStation users in recent years, with titles designed specifically for the PS5 and others that leverage the console's backwards compatibility feature from the PS4. Regardless of which PlayStation model you own, you can immerse yourself in the enchanting world of Disney games, akin to the joy derived from their movies and shows.
With Disney's acquisition of Marvel, Star Wars, and other iconic franchises, the range of games under the Disney banner has expanded significantly. Here, we present a curated selection of seven standout Disney and Disney-affiliated games that you can enjoy on your PS5 today. For those interested in exploring beyond Disney's offerings, we also recommend checking out our comprehensive list of the best PS5 games.
Here are the top Disney games available on PS5:
Disney Dreamlight Valley
Disney Dreamlight Valley is the ultimate life simulation game for Disney enthusiasts who adore games like Animal Crossing and Stardew Valley. In this game, you create a personalized avatar tasked with restoring the magical land of Dreamlight Valley, which has been devastated by the Forgetting—a mystical occurrence that caused Disney characters to lose their memories or flee to their original worlds due to the Night Thorns. Rebuilding the valley and constructing homes for returning residents requires diligent effort and resource gathering, but the reward is forming bonds with all the Disney characters, including the villains. This game offers a relaxed experience perfect for family gaming sessions.
Kingdom Hearts 3
Originally released for the PS4 in 2019, Kingdom Hearts 3 shines on the PS5 thanks to enhanced graphics provided by Square Enix. The game follows Sora, Donald, and Goofy on a quest to restore Sora's Power of Waking after his failed exam in Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance. Meanwhile, Riku and King Mickey search for Aqua, Terra, and Ventus, and Kairi and Lea train to become Keyblade wielders in preparation for the final showdown with Master Xehanort. New gameplay features like Attraction Flow and Athletic Flow, along with worlds inspired by Toy Story, Monsters Inc., Big Hero 6, Tangled, and Frozen, enhance the experience. The Re:Mind expansion adds depth to the story and introduces challenging battles against Organization XIII and the enigmatic Yozora. This installment is a must-play while awaiting Kingdom Hearts 4.
Star Wars Jedi: Survivor
Winner of the Grammy Award for Best Score Soundtrack for Video Games and Other Interactive Media, Star Wars Jedi: Survivor is widely regarded as one of the best Star Wars games ever created. Set five years after Fallen Order, the game follows Jedi Knight Cal Kestis as he battles the Galactic Empire while seeking refuge. Players can customize Cal's appearance and equip him with a new Kylo Ren-inspired Lightsaber stance. The game boasts impressive level design and a rich cast of NPCs, delivering an immersive Star Wars experience complemented by an outstanding soundtrack.
Marvel’s Spider-Man 2
Despite Disney's ownership of Marvel, Sony's exclusive title, Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, developed by Insomniac Games, earns its place on our list. The game continues the story of Peter Parker and Miles Morales as they juggle their personal lives with their superhero responsibilities. New threats, including Kraven the Hunter and the Venom symbiote, challenge the duo in New York City. Building on the successes of its predecessors, the game introduces new web-based gadgets and iconic Spidey suits tailored to each character's unique playstyle, including the infamous Venom suit for Peter. Its popularity was evident, selling 2.5 million copies within the first 24 hours and even earning a spot on Wheaties cereal boxes. It's our top pick for the best Spider-Man game to date.
Disney Speedstorm
Disney Speedstorm offers a thrilling racing experience where you can compete against an array of Disney characters. This free-to-play PS5 game, developed by Gameloft Barcelona, mirrors the gameplay of Mario Kart but features tracks themed around the worlds of Disney films and franchises, such as Mickey and Friends, Mulan, Monsters Inc., Beauty and the Beast, Frozen, and Pirates of the Caribbean. Minor characters serve as Crew Members, enhancing the stats of their respective racers. While the game includes gacha-style microtransactions, it remains a fun crossover racing title that lets you race as iconic characters like Mickey Mouse, Mulan, Sulley, Jack Sparrow, or Elsa.
Gargoyles Remastered
Gargoyles Remastered is a 2D side-scrolling platformer, a remastered version of the original 16-bit Gargoyles game for the Sega Genesis, brought to the PS4 by Empty Clip Studios. As Goliath, you navigate the story of the Gargoyles' battle against the Eye of Odin, from the Viking invasion of Castle Wyvern to their revival in modern-day Manhattan. The game lets you switch between the new art style, reminiscent of the beloved Disney animated series, and the classic 16-bit graphics for a nostalgic experience. It also includes an instant rewind feature to hone your skills and a dynamic soundtrack that adjusts based on the mode you're playing in, offering the best of both worlds.
Disney Classic Games Collection
The Disney Classic Games Collection, brought to modern consoles by Digital Eclipse and Nighthawk Interactive, is a remastered anthology of the 2019 release of Disney Classic Games: Aladdin and The Lion King. This collection includes console and handheld versions of Aladdin, The Lion King, and The Jungle Book, along with new features such as an interactive museum, rewind functionality, and an expanded soundtrack. If you already own the 2019 version, you can purchase the DLC, which includes the SNES version of Aladdin and the console and handheld versions of The Jungle Book, for just $10.
