BRITAIN was plunged into further lockdowns this week, but it’s not all doom and gloom: There are loads of new PS5 games to look forward to!
This year promises to be a massive one for Sony, with a slew of big-budget games that could make (or break) its next-generation console.
There are plenty of cracking games coming out for the PS5 this year
New entries to the Hitman and Ride series will hopefully start 2021 off with a bang in January.
Those titles are swiftly followed by Yakuza: Like a Dragon, Sega’s eighth releases in the popular Yakuza RPG series.
Gamers also have Far Cry 6, Gran Turismo 7 and a new Resident Evil to look forward to – though their release dates are a little more tentative.
Check out the list below, first reported by PushSquare, for the PS5’s full line up for 2021!

PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X – when did they launch and how much do they cost?
Microsoft launched the Xbox Series X and its smaller, cheaper sibling, the Series S, on November 10.
The release date covered the UK, US, Australia and a bunch of other countries worldwide.
The disc-free Series S costs £249/$299, while the Xbox Series X comes in at £449/$499.
So how does that compare to the new Xbox’s biggest rival, the PlayStation 5?
The PS5 launch fell on November 12, but not everywhere.
That date only stood for the US, Japan, Canada, Mexico, Australia, New Zealand and South Korea.
UK gamers had to wait until November 19 to order one of the consoles.
The PS5 proper costs £449.99/$499.99, while the digital edition comes in at £359/$399.
In other news, The Sun’s favourite alternative to a games console is the Oculus Quest 2 VR headset.
Grab a VR headset and you’ll be able to play the legendary Beat Saber – like Guitar Hero, but with lightsabers.
And Dell’s Alienware R10 Ryzen Edition is a gaming PC powerhouse that crushes both the new consoles.
