The House of Mouse has delivered some fantastic games for PlayStation consoles in recent years, including exclusive titles for PS5 and PS4 games that benefit from the PS5's backward compatibility. Whether you're playing on a PS5 or PS4, you can immerse yourself in the enchanting world of Disney games just as you would with any Disney movie or show.

With Disney's acquisition of Marvel, Star Wars, and other notable franchises, the range of games under the Disney umbrella has expanded significantly. Below, we highlight seven of the best Disney and Disney-adjacent games you can enjoy on your PS5 right now. If you're interested in exploring beyond Disney, be sure to check out our comprehensive list of the best PS5 games available.

Here are the best Disney games on PS5:

Disney Dreamlight Valley

Disney Dreamlight Valley is the ultimate life simulation game for Disney enthusiasts who adore games like Animal Crossing and Stardew Valley. In this game, you create a custom avatar tasked with restoring the magical land of Dreamlight Valley to its former glory after it's been affected by the Forgetting, a mysterious event that caused Disney characters to lose their memories or flee back to their homeworlds due to the Night Thorns. Rebuilding the valley and constructing homes for returning residents requires diligent effort and resource gathering, but the reward is the chance to befriend every Disney character you encounter, including the villains. It's a relaxing experience perfect for family gaming sessions on your living room couch.

Kingdom Hearts 3

Originally released for the PS4 in 2019, Kingdom Hearts 3 shines even brighter on the PS5 thanks to enhanced graphics. The game continues Sora's journey with Donald and Goofy as they seek to restore his Power of Waking after a failed Mark of Mastery exam. Meanwhile, Riku and King Mickey are on a mission to find Aqua, Terra, and Ventus, while Kairi and Lea train to become Keyblade wielders in preparation for the final showdown with Master Xehanort. New gameplay mechanics like Attraction Flow and Athletic Flow add excitement, and worlds inspired by Toy Story, Monsters Inc., Big Hero 6, Tangled, and Frozen (including the iconic "Let It Go" scene) bring fresh adventures. The Re:Mind expansion further enriches the story and offers challenging battles against data versions of Organization XIII members and the enigmatic Yozora. Kingdom Hearts 3 is a must-play while we eagerly 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 finest Star Wars games ever created. Set five years after the events of Fallen Order, the game follows Jedi Knight Cal Kestis as he battles the Galactic Empire and searches for a safe haven. You can customize Cal's appearance and equip him with a Kylo Ren-inspired Lightsaber stance. The game boasts exceptional level design and a higher number of NPCs, immersing you deeply into the Star Wars universe with its captivating soundtrack.

Marvel’s Spider-Man 2

Despite Disney's ownership of Marvel, Sony has exclusive rights to Spider-Man, yet Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 from Insomniac Games earns a well-deserved spot on our list. This PS5-exclusive title follows Peter Parker and Miles Morales as they juggle their personal lives with their superhero responsibilities amidst new threats in New York City, including Kraven the Hunter and the Venom symbiote. The game builds upon its predecessors with new web-based gadgets and Spidey suits tailored to each hero's unique play styles, including the iconic Venom suit for Peter. Its popularity led to 2.5 million copies sold within the first 24 hours of release and a promotion on Wheaties cereal, cementing its status as the best Spider-Man game to date.

Disney Speedstorm

For racing fans, Disney Speedstorm offers an exhilarating experience where you can race against a vast array of Disney characters. This free-to-play PS5 game mirrors the gameplay of Mario Kart, but with racetracks themed around 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 respective racers' stats. While the game includes gacha-like microtransactions, it remains a compelling crossover racing game. Imagine racing as Mulan against Mickey Mouse, Sulley, Jack Sparrow, or Elsa!

Gargoyles Remastered

Gargoyles Remastered is a 2D side-scrolling platformer that revives the original 16-bit Gargoyles game for the Sega Genesis. Developed for the PS4 by Empty Clip Studios, you control Goliath as you revisit the story of the Gargoyles' battle against the evil Eye of Odin, from the Viking invasion of Castle Wyvern to their reawakening in modern-day Manhattan. The game offers the flexibility to switch between a new art style reminiscent of the Disney animated series and the classic 16-bit visuals, along with an instant rewind feature for refining your skills. The dynamic soundtrack adjusts between remastered and original versions based on your chosen mode, providing a truly nostalgic experience.

Disney Classic Games Collection

The Disney Classic Games Collection brings the nostalgia of retro gaming to modern consoles, courtesy of Digital Eclipse and Nighthawk Interactive. This remastered collection includes everything from the 2019 release of Disney Classic Games: Aladdin and The Lion King, featuring console and handheld versions of Aladdin and The Lion King, as well as The Jungle Book.
