The Best Disney Games on PS5 in 2024
The House of Mouse has churned out excellent games for PlayStation in recent years, whether theyâre programmed exclusively for the PS5 or PS4 titles that can be played on the PS5 as well. Whichever version you have, you can experience the same magic playing fun Disney games as you can get from watching any Disney movie or show.
Now that Disney owns Marvel, Star Wars, and various other franchises, more games than ever seemingly fall under the ‘Disney’ umbrella. Below we’ve outlined five of the best Disney (or Disney adjacent) titles you can play on your PS5 right now. You can also check out our list of the best PS5 games overall.
Disney Dreamlight ValleyDisney Dreamlight Valley is the perfect life sim game for Disney Adults who love Animal Crossing, canât get enough of Stardew Valley, and wish to interact with their favorite Disney characters outside of the theme parks. You play as a custom avatar that works to bring the titular land back to its former glory after it’s plagued by the Forgetting, a supernatural event that caused some of the Disney characters living in Dreamlight Valley to lose their memories and others to flee to their homeworlds as a result of the Night Thorns.
Although rebuilding Dreamlight Valley and constructing homes for the people who left it takes a lot of hard work and resources to forage for, you get to befriend every Disney character you meet, even the villains. The game provides a pretty chill experience right that you can share with the whole family sitting on your living room couch.

Kingdom Hearts 3Although it was released on the PS4 in 2019, Kingdom Hearts 3 pairs remarkably well with the PS5 thanks to Square Enix making its graphics more enhanced than its predecessors. The game follows Sora on yet another adventure with Donald and Goofy to regain his Power of Waking after failing his Mark of Mastery exam in Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance; Riku and King Mickey searching for Aqua, Terra, and Ventus; and Kairi and Lea (formerly Axel of Organization XIII) training to become Keyblade wielders themselves â all in preparation for the final battle against Master Xehanort.
In addition to new gameplay mechanics such as Attraction Flow and Athletic Flow, Kingdom Hearts 3 has worlds inspired by Toy Story, Monsters Inc., Big Hero 6, Tangled, and Frozen (complete with the obligatory âLet It Goâ cutscene). It also has the Re:Mind expansion, adding more meat to the main gameâs story and offering you the chance to test your mettle against the data versions of Organization XIII members and the mysterious Yozora. If youâre up for the challenge, that is.
Overall, it’s an excellent installment in the Kingdom Hearts franchise and worth playing while we wait for Kingdom Hearts 4.

Star Wars Jedi: SurvivorA Grammy Award winner for Best Score Soundtrack for Video Games and Other Interactive Media, Star Wars Jedi: Survivor is considered to be the the best Star Wars games ever made. The story is set five years after the events of Fallen Order, with Jedi Knight Cal Kestis as he fights the Galactic Empire while searching for a place to hide from them.
You can customize Cal to look however you envision him to be, wield a Lightsaber similar to Kylo Renâs with a new stance, and experience top-notch level design packed with more NPCs than youâve seen in the previous game â or games outside of Star Wars, for that matter. Jedi: Survivor will make you feel immersed in the world of Star Wars with a kickass soundtrack to boot.

Marvelâs Spider-Man 2Sony may have a tight grip on Spider-Man despite Disney owning every Marvel superhero, but weâre still giving Marvelâs Spider-Man 2 from Insomniac Games a spot on this list. The PS5-exclusive title centers on Peter Parker and Miles Morales struggling to balance their personal lives with their superhero duties as new threats loom over New York City, including Kraven the Hunter, whose supernatural powers turn the city into a hunting ground for superheroes, and the Venom symbiote which, as in Tobey Maguireâs Spider-Man 3, turns Parker into a bully and threatens to destroy his relationships.
The game picks up where Spider-Man: Miles Morales left off, and employs multiple elements from its predecessors, plus extra features such as new web-based gadgets and
