In recent years, Disney has enchanted PlayStation gamers with a variety of captivating titles, including exclusive PS5 games and PS4 games that benefit from the PS5's backwards compatibility. Whether you're playing on a PS4 or a PS5, you can immerse yourself in the same enchanting world that Disney movies and shows are known for. With Disney's acquisition of Marvel, Star Wars, and other franchises, the range of Disney-themed games available has expanded significantly. Here, we've curated a list of seven standout Disney (or Disney-adjacent) games you can enjoy on your PS5. And if you're interested in exploring beyond Disney, be sure to check out our comprehensive list of the best PS5 games overall.

Here are the best Disney games you can play on PS5:

Disney Dreamlight Valley

Disney Dreamlight Valley is a dream come true for Disney fans who adore life simulation games like Animal Crossing and Stardew Valley. In this game, you create your own avatar and embark on a quest to restore the magical land of Dreamlight Valley, which has been ravaged by the mysterious Forgetting. This event caused Disney characters to lose their memories and flee to their homeworlds, leaving the valley in disarray. Rebuilding involves gathering resources and befriending every Disney character, including the villains, creating a relaxing and family-friendly experience that you can enjoy right from your living room.

Kingdom Hearts 3

Although initially released for the PS4 in 2019, Kingdom Hearts 3 has been enhanced for the PS5, offering improved graphics. Join Sora, Donald, and Goofy as they seek to restore the Power of Waking after Sora's failure in Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance. Alongside their journey, Riku and King Mickey search for Aqua, Terra, and Ventus, while Kairi and Lea train to become Keyblade wielders. The game introduces new mechanics like Attraction Flow and Athletic Flow and features worlds inspired by Toy Story, Monsters Inc., Big Hero 6, Tangled, and Frozen, including the iconic "Let It Go" scene. The Re:Mind expansion adds depth to the story and challenges you with battles against the data versions of Organization XIII members and the mysterious Yozora. It's a must-play while we await 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 hailed as one of the best Star Wars games ever. Set five years after Fallen Order, you control Jedi Knight Cal Kestis as he battles the Galactic Empire and searches for a safe haven. Customize Cal's appearance, wield a unique Lightsaber with a Kylo Ren-inspired stance, and immerse yourself in the rich world of Star Wars, enhanced by a stunning soundtrack and superior level design filled with numerous NPCs.

Marvel’s Spider-Man 2

Despite Disney's ownership of Marvel, Sony's exclusive title, Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, earns a spot on our list. Follow Peter Parker and Miles Morales as they juggle their personal lives with their superhero responsibilities amid new threats in New York City, including Kraven the Hunter and the Venom symbiote. Building on the success of its predecessors, the game introduces new web-based gadgets and Spidey suits for both heroes, with the Venom suit adding a unique twist to Peter's gameplay. Its immense popularity led to 2.5 million copies sold within the first 24 hours and a notable promotion on Wheaties cereal, solidifying its place as the best Spider-Man game to date.

Disney Speedstorm

For fans of racing games, Disney Speedstorm offers an exhilarating experience where you can race against a wide array of Disney characters. This free-to-play PS5 game mirrors the style of Mario Kart but features tracks themed around the worlds of Disney films and franchises like Mickey and Friends, Mulan, Monsters Inc., Beauty and the Beast, Frozen, and Pirates of the Caribbean. Crew Members, such as Orange Bird assisting Figment, enhance racers' stats. While the game is a fantastic crossover, it does include microtransactions, a feature not found in other racing titles like Sonic and Sega All-Stars Racing or Mario Kart 8. Nevertheless, racing as Mickey Mouse, Mulan, Sulley, Jack Sparrow, or Elsa is an irresistible thrill.

Gargoyles Remastered

Gargoyles Remastered brings back the classic 16-bit Sega Genesis game in a 2D side-scrolling platformer format, updated for PS4 by Empty Clip Studios. Take control of Goliath and relive the epic tale of the Gargoyles as they battle against the Eye of Odin, from the Viking invasion of Castle Wyvern to their awakening in modern-day Manhattan. The game offers the flexibility to switch between a new art style reminiscent of the Disney animated series and the original 16-bit visuals, complete with an instant rewind feature for honing your skills. The dynamic soundtrack shifts between remastered and classic versions, depending on your chosen mode, offering the best of both worlds.

Disney Classic Games Collection

The Disney Classic Games Collection brings beloved retro titles to modern consoles, courtesy of Digital Eclipse and Nighthawk Interactive. This compilation includes remastered versions of Aladdin, The Lion King, and The Jungle Book, featuring both console and handheld versions. Enhanced with new features such as an interactive museum, a rewind function, and an expanded soundtrack, it offers a nostalgic yet fresh gaming experience.
