What are the best RPGs on PS5? In this hopefully helpful guide, we're going to list the best RPGs on PS5 — as rated by the Push Square community.

Over the years, the term 'role-playing game' has evolved to cover an incredibly wide range of experiences. From text-heavy, choice-driven RPGs like Disco Elysium and traditional, turn based adventures like Dragon Quest, to open world action titles such as Elden Ring, the genre is incredibly vast. Typically, though, they all feature player choice, character progression, levelling up, quests, and numerous other hallmarks.

So, what are the best RPGs on PS5, then? Again, this list is based on user ratings. If you'd like to have a say in which games end up on this list, then you can simply click on the user score that's at the top of each game's heading and select a score of your own. You can also use the following search bar to find and rate other games.

But remember: a game will need at least 50 ratings before it's added to this article. If there are any obvious RPGs that we're missing, chances are that they don't have enough ratings yet — so be sure to find your favourites and rate them appropriately.

Without further ado, let's begin our quest. Below, you'll find a list of the best RPGs on PS5 — as voted for by you.

30. Lies of P (PS5)

Lies of P is one of the best Souls games not made by FromSoftware. Distinct in direction, tone, and style having leant into an evil take on the classic Pinocchio story, the journey through Krat is a memorable one thanks to solid combat, impressive customisation options, and unique art. If you've completed every FromSoftware experience multiple times over and you're looking for the next Souls-like hit, Lies of P is up there with the very best.

29. Monster Hunter Wilds (PS5)

While it retains many of the series' intricacies and quirks, Monster Hunter Wilds is probably the most accessible entry in the action RPG franchise to date. That's mainly thanks to a core story with loveable characters that gradually unpack the game's complex nature, leaving you fully prepared to enter the time-tested loop of slaying monsters and powering up your gear with the materials you gather. Playable solo with AI helpers but arguably most enjoyable in co-op, Wilds' sprawling, more dynamic environments, fraught combat, and bottomless depth come together to form one of the series' most accomplished entries.

28. Diablo 4 (PS5)

After a long time in development, Blizzard's beloved action RPG series returns in grand style with Diablo 4. This top-down dungeon crawler is all about building up your character with randomly generated loot, exploring a huge world map full of treasures and monsters, and teaming up with your pals for some devilishly addictive co-op. Jam-packed with stuff to do, this is a game you'll be playing for a long time, and the insanely gratifying progression will keep you coming back for more.

27. Cyberpunk 2077 (PS5)

Following a disastrous PS4 launch, Cyberpunk 2077 might as well have been a brand new game on PS5 over a year later. CD Projekt Red stuck to its guns, delivering a much improved version of the open world RPG on Sony's current-gen console, free of the game-breaking bugs and crashing issues that plagued the initial release. The result is memorable and often engrossing dark future title, peppered with great characters, punchy combat, and some excellent freeform mission design. Better late than never!

26. Tales of Arise (PS5)

Bandai Namco went big budget with Tales of Arise, and delivered a fantastic action RPG. Taking place across a wide range of vibrant locations and boasting an endearing main cast of characters, there's an awful lot to like about the desperate adventures of Alphen. As you'd expect of the long running series, the real-time, combo-based combat is a highlight — but a twisting story also strings things along to great effect. For our gald, Tales of Arise is one of the PS5's strongest Japanese RPGs.

25. Granblue Fantasy: Relink (PS5)

Granblue Fantasy: Relink is a fairly straightforward, but really well executed action RPG. There's a lot to like about its hectic combat system, and it's got some outstanding boss battles. Its mission-based structure may not be to everyone's tastes, but if you can settle into the grind, powering up your favourite characters is super addictive. Besides, it's just nice to have a campaign that's all killer, no filler across its 20-hour runtime — a rarity among its RPG peers!

24. Final Fantasy XIV Online: A Realm Reborn (PS5)

Looking at it now, it's genuinely hard to believe that Final Fantasy XIV Online: A Realm Reborn started life as a terribly misguided and badly designed MMO that came close to sinking one of Square Enix's internal development teams. Its rebirth has been one of modern gaming's most extraordinary success stories, and the game is now widely considered to be one of the greatest MMORPGs ever made. Bolstered by multiple extremely well received expansions, A Realm Reborn has gone from strength to strength, and it continues to attract millions of players. Many would even argue that it's the best Final Fantasy game of the last decade — MMO or not.

23. Judgment (PS5)

It may have launched on PS4 not long before this PS5 port, but Judgment is so good that it deserves every chance at success that it can get. This Yakuza spinoff puts you in the sneakers of Takayuki Yagami, a private detective living in the heart of Kamurocho, a fictional red light district that's always teetering on the edge of chaos. Tangled up in a series of brutal murders, Yagami is forced to dig deep into the city's criminal underbelly, resulting in a truly gripping story. With a brilliant cast of characters, a great combat system, and a map that's stuffed with fun distractions, Judgment is right up there with the absolute best that Yakuza has to offer.

22. Octopath Traveler II (PS5)

Although the first game isn't available on PlayStation platforms, Octopath Traveler II is a borderline must play for fans of more traditional Japanese RPGs. It's built like a classic but with modern design elements, resulting in a refined role-playing experience. An engaging turn-based combat system and a frankly gorgeous visual style make this a seriously impressive sequel.

21. Lost Judgment (PS5)

A sequel to superb detective thriller Judgment, Lost Judgment doesn't quite hit the dizzying highs of its predecessor in terms of storytelling and character development, but it's still a great action RPG. Packed with intense plot twists and carried by an excellent cast, Lost Judgment is a typical Yakuza-style thrill ride — but it's actually the ridiculous amount of impressively varied side content that drives Yagami's sophomore case. An expanded, satisfying combat system is worthy of note as well.
