The PlayStation 5 is here, but it’s almost cannot find in stock all over. The good news is some of the best ps5 games are actually just PS4 titles. The PS4 isn’t going anywhere yet. This Sony console houses a fairly extensive library of great indie and big budget video games. We don’t have the words or the pages to list them all, but we’ve highlighted some of the best PS4 games available today, and each one is compatible with the PS5. Each player has their preferences, but these titles are worth time no matter what type of player you are.
