5 Best Multiplayer Games on PS5

Multiplayer games are raging ever since the world came to know about them. Because let's face it – AI bots are boring. After a point, their moves become repetitive and they're ‘figureoutable'. But when players are up against other players, the game feels more real. The unpredictability and competitiveness make multiplayer games addictive.

Sony's PlayStation 5 is one beast of a console. With a 4K resolution and a frame rate of 60 FPS, you can expect stunning visuals at an unimaginable speed. The enhanced DualSense controllers take your gaming experience to a whole new level.

The PlayStation library is vast and, of course, it has several amazing multiplayer games that you can play. We have listed some of the best ones for you.

Top 5 Multiplayer Games to Play on PS5

Based on the number of downloads, player reviews, and overall gameplay, we have picked out some awesome multiplayer games on PS5.

5. Apex Legends

We'll all agree that Apex Legends has come a far way and evolved for good. The game borrows its universe from Respawn's other game, Titanfall. Apex Legends features a diverse cast of characters with special abilities called ‘Legends'.

The game starts with players being dropped off onto a map. The goal is simple – scavenge for loot and be the last player standing. However, it's easier said than done. The Legends all have unique abilities that you're supposed to use on the battlefield. Apex Legends has its unique ‘ping' system that lets you communicate with teammates without voice chat.

Apex Legends is free to play, which makes it even more accessible to a wider audience. Along with PS5, Apex Legends is available on PS4, Xbox One, Xbox Series S, Xbox Series X, Windows, and Nintendo Switch. Very soon, EA is planning to release a mobile version for Android and iOS devices.

4. Call of Duty Warzone

Battle Royale and multiplayer shooters attract hordes of players. Once in a while, some mindless action is the best stress buster. And nobody understands this better than the Call of Duty franchise. They have been putting out some serious shooter games since the 2000s.

When Call of Duty: Warzone was announced, fans were excited about a COD battle royale. And Warzone delivered what it promised in the trailer. The game has huge maps that received praise from critics and players alike. For the battle royale mode, you go face 150 other players on the map. You can go solo, pair up with a buddy, or go in groups of three and four.

Warzone may not be the best game on PS5, but it gives you the adrenaline that you miss in your life. You get the ‘Call of Duty' experience in 4k with smooth controls. Call of Duty Warzone is free to play and enjoys an active community.

3. It Takes Two

Don't get us wrong, It Takes Two is an amazing game that deserves to be at the top spot on every list. However, the game is more of a co-op rather than a multiplayer game. Players can collaborate with a partner and pass the levels one by one.

If you like narrative-driven games with strong stories, then you will fall in love with It Takes Two. The story starts with an about-to-divorce couple, Cody and May, breaking the news to their daughter. The couple then gets entrapped inside two dolls. To come back to life, the dolls now have to solve puzzles with each other's help.

Of course, It Takes Two received praise from critics as well as players and become one of the popular games of 2021. Needless to say that the game went on to win numerous awards. If you haven't yet tried it, you can get it on PS5, PS4, Xbox One, Xbox Series S, Xbox Series X, and Windows.

2. Splitgate

If you're into sci-fi games and action-packed shooters, then Splitgate is perfect for you. Fans will call it a mix of Halo and Portal because it combines the gameplay of both into one thrilling pack.

Let's be real. Without the portals, Splitgate would just be another First-Person Shooter. However, the portal mechanic makes it more of a tactical shooter. Players can choose from over 15 modes and the game features over 20 maps. The sci-fi neon aesthetics will make you fall for the game immediately. The weapon selection is quite impressive and suits the futuristic maps.

Splitgate is free to play and the cross-platform availability makes it more accessible. The game is available on PS5, PS4, Xbox One, Xbox Series S, Xbox Series X, Windows, and Linux.

1. Fortnite

First-Person Shooters are quite popular and even today, their player base is quite strong. Fortnite is a modern take on the battle royale and shooter genre. The game is rapidly capturing trends and incorporating pop culture icons into it. And of course, the celebrity hype always helps.

Fortnite came out in 2017 and its fan base skyrocketed almost immediately. It's your regular battle royale game that drops off on an island with 99 other players. However, unlike other battle royales, Fortnite is a little goofy. You will be tossed onto the island from a colorful Battle Bus. The huge variety of skins and emotes only adds to the fun.

Fortnite is free to play, so you can download it without worrying too much about your budget. PlayStation 5 only elevates this fun shooting experience with 4k visuals and 60 FPS. The DualSense controllers deliver a smooth gaming experience.
