In recent years, Disney has enchanted PlayStation gamers with a variety of captivating titles, ranging from PS5 exclusives to PS4 games that leverage the power of the PS5 through backwards compatibility. Whether you're playing on a PS4 or the latest PS5, you can immerse yourself in the magical world of Disney, just as you would with any of their beloved movies or 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've curated a list of seven of the best Disney (and Disney-adjacent) games you can enjoy on your PS5 right now. If you're interested in exploring beyond Disney's offerings, be sure to check out our comprehensive list of the best PS5 games available.
Here are the top Disney games you can play on PS5:
Disney Dreamlight Valley
Disney Dreamlight Valley is a dream come true for Disney enthusiasts who adore life simulation games like Animal Crossing and Stardew Valley. In this enchanting game, you create a custom avatar tasked with restoring the magical land of Dreamlight Valley, which has been affected by the Forgetting—a mysterious event causing Disney characters to lose their memories and flee to their homeworlds due to the Night Thorns. Rebuilding the valley and constructing homes requires dedication and resource gathering, but the joy of befriending every Disney character, including the villains, makes it a rewarding and family-friendly experience.
Kingdom Hearts 3
Originally launched on the PS4, Kingdom Hearts 3 shines even brighter on the PS5 thanks to enhanced graphics. The game follows Sora, Donald, and Goofy on a quest to restore Sora's Power of Waking, while Riku and King Mickey search for missing friends, and Kairi and Lea train to become Keyblade wielders. With new gameplay mechanics like Attraction Flow and Athletic Flow, and worlds inspired by beloved Disney films such as Toy Story, Monsters Inc., Big Hero 6, Tangled, and Frozen, Kingdom Hearts 3 offers a rich experience. The Re:Mind expansion adds depth to the story and challenging battles against Organization XIII members and Yozora, making it a must-play while awaiting Kingdom Hearts 4.
Star Wars Jedi: Survivor
Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, a recipient of the Grammy Award for Best Score Soundtrack for Video Games and Other Interactive Media, is hailed 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 and seeks refuge. With customizable appearances for Cal, a new Kylo Ren-inspired Lightsaber stance, and immersive level design featuring numerous NPCs, Jedi: Survivor offers a deeply engaging Star Wars experience, enhanced by its exceptional soundtrack.
Marvel’s Spider-Man 2
Despite Disney's ownership of Marvel, Sony's exclusive Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 from Insomniac Games earns its place on this list. The game follows Peter Parker and Miles Morales as they juggle their personal lives and superhero responsibilities amidst new threats like Kraven the Hunter and the Venom symbiote. Building on the success of Spider-Man: Miles Morales, the game introduces new web-based gadgets and tailored Spidey suits, including the iconic Venom suit for Peter. Its popularity is evident, having sold 2.5 million copies within the first 24 hours of release and even featuring on Wheaties cereal boxes, making it the definitive Spider-Man gaming experience.
Disney Speedstorm
For fans of racing games, Disney Speedstorm offers a thrilling experience where you can race against a vast array of Disney characters. This free-to-play PS5 game, reminiscent of Mario Kart, features racetracks themed around the worlds of Disney films and franchises, including Mickey and Friends, Mulan, Monsters Inc., Beauty and the Beast, Frozen, and Pirates of the Caribbean. With minor characters serving as Crew Members to boost racer stats, Disney Speedstorm is a delightful crossover racing game, though it does include gacha-style microtransactions.
Gargoyles Remastered
Gargoyles Remastered brings the classic 16-bit Sega Genesis game to the PS4 with updated graphics and gameplay. As Goliath, you navigate through the story of the Gargoyles' battle against the Eye of Odin, from the Viking invasion of Castle Wyvern to their awakening in modern-day Manhattan. The game offers a choice between new art reminiscent of the Disney animated series and the original 16-bit visuals, along with an instant rewind feature and a dynamic soundtrack that adjusts based on the chosen mode, providing a nostalgic yet fresh experience.
Disney Classic Games Collection
The Disney Classic Games Collection is a nostalgic journey through some of Disney's most beloved retro titles, updated for modern consoles. This remastered collection includes the console and handheld versions of Aladdin, The Lion King, and The Jungle Book, along with new features like an interactive museum, rewind function, and an expanded soundtrack. If you own the 2019 version, you can purchase the DLC for the SNES version of Aladdin and additional versions of The Jungle Book for just $10.
