Here, we've curated a list of seven top-tier Disney (and Disney-adjacent) games available on your PS5 right now.

Disney Dreamlight Valley is the ultimate life simulation game for Disney enthusiasts who adore Animal Crossing and Stardew Valley. It offers the unique opportunity to interact with beloved Disney characters outside the theme parks. As a customizable avatar, your mission is to restore the titular land to its former glory after it's been ravaged by the Forgetting—a mystical event that has caused Disney characters to lose their memories and flee to their homeworlds due to the Night Thorns.
Reconstructing Dreamlight Valley and building homes for those who've left is no small feat, requiring dedication and resources. However, the joy of befriending every Disney character, including the villains, and sharing this tranquil experience with your family from the comfort of your living room, makes it all worthwhile.

Originally launched on the PS4 in 2019, Kingdom Hearts 3 shines even brighter on the PS5 thanks to enhanced graphics by Square Enix. The game continues Sora's journey with Donald and Goofy as they strive to regain the Power of Waking after Sora's failed Mark of Mastery exam. Alongside Riku and King Mickey's quest to find Aqua, Terra, and Ventus, and Kairi and Lea's training to become Keyblade wielders, the narrative builds towards a climactic showdown with Master Xehanort.
New gameplay mechanics like Attraction Flow and Athletic Flow, along with worlds inspired by Toy Story, Monsters Inc., Big Hero 6, Tangled, and Frozen (featuring the iconic "Let It Go" cutscene), enhance the experience. The Re:Mind expansion further enriches the story and challenges players with battles against the data versions of Organization XIII members and the enigmatic Yozora. Kingdom Hearts 3 is a must-play as we eagerly await Kingdom Hearts 4.

Winner of a Grammy for Best Score Soundtrack for Video Games and Other Interactive Media, Star Wars Jedi: Survivor is heralded as one of the finest Star Wars games to date. Set five years after the events of Fallen Order, the game follows Jedi Knight Cal Kestis as he battles the Galactic Empire and seeks refuge.
Players can customize Cal's appearance and wield a Lightsaber reminiscent of Kylo Ren's, featuring a new stance. The game boasts exceptional level design and a larger cast of NPCs, immersing players in the Star Wars universe, accompanied by an outstanding soundtrack.

Despite Disney's ownership of Marvel, Sony's exclusive grip on Spider-Man allows Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 by Insomniac Games to claim a spot on our list. This PS5-exclusive title focuses on Peter Parker and Miles Morales as they juggle their personal lives with superhero responsibilities amid new threats like Kraven the Hunter, whose supernatural powers turn New York City into a hunting ground for superheroes, and the menacing Venom symbiote, which corrupts Parker and jeopardizes his relationships.
Building on the success of Spider-Man: Miles Morales, the game introduces new web-based gadgets and Spidey suits tailored to each Spider-Man's play style, including the iconic Venom suit for Peter. With over 2.5 million copies sold within the first 24 hours of release and a promotional spot on Wheaties cereal, it's clear why Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 is our top pick for the best Spider-Man game ever made.
Image credit: GameloftDeveloper: Gameloft Barcelona | Publisher: Gameloft | Release Date: April 18, 2023 | Review: IGN's Disney Speedstorm review
For racing enthusiasts looking to compete against a vast array of Disney characters, Disney Speedstorm by Gameloft Barcelona is the perfect choice. This free-to-play PS5 game mirrors the gameplay of Mario Kart but features racetracks themed after the worlds of each racer's 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, boosting their racers' stats.
While Disney Speedstorm offers a fantastic crossover racing experience, it includes gacha-esque microtransactions, a feature absent from other racing titles like Sonic and Sega All-Stars Racing and Mario Kart 8. Nevertheless, the thrill of racing against Mickey Mouse as Mulan, Sulley, Jack Sparrow, or Elsa is undeniably appealing.
Image credit: Disney/Empty Clip StudiosDeveloper: Empty Clip Studios | Publisher: Disney/Empty Clip Studios | Release Date: October 19, 2023
Gargoyles Remastered is a beautifully remastered 2D side-scrolling platformer, originally a 16-bit game for the Sega Genesis, now updated for the PS4 by Empty Clip Studios. Players take control of Goliath, reliving the Gargoyles' battle against the evil artifact known as the Eye of Odin, from the Viking invasion of Castle Wyvern to their reawakening in Manhattan, New York, a thousand years later.
The game offers the ability to toggle between a new art style reminiscent of the beloved Disney animated series and the classic 16-bit pixelated visuals, providing a nostalgic trip back to the Genesis era. With an instant rewind feature for refining your skills and a dynamic soundtrack that shifts between remastered and original versions based on the chosen mode, Gargoyles Remastered truly offers the best of both worlds.

The Disney Classic Games Collection is a lovingly crafted remaster of the 2019 release, updated for modern consoles by Digital Eclipse and Nighthawk Interactive.

Owners of the 2019 physical or digital bundle can purchase the DLC, which includes the SNES version of Aladdin and the console and handheld versions of The Jungle Book, for just $10.
