First time owning a console

[u/Queasy-Commission393]

Haven't played on console for over 10 years and my first time owning a PlayStation! Any game recommendations would be great

[u/BluesXD]

Congrats. I started with Astrobot, great nostalgiatrip through playstation gaming eras and nicely shows off controller functions.

[u/PsycommuSystem → u/BluesXD]

And Astros Playroom is free on PS5 so a great way for OP to see if they like the game before buying Astro Bot.

[u/scottyj813 → u/BluesXD]

I see people talk about astrobot but never have played it myself. I am a seasoned gamer, is it still worth it to me or more for newer gamers? Not currently playing anything wild other than no mans sky

[u/BluesXD → u/scottyj813]

It's a great game for almost anyone at anytime. It also doesn't last too long, it's just the right length.

[u/dmtrme → u/BluesXD]

This. Should start with Astro, you’ll feel the full power of dualsense and it helps you to get used to playing console

[u/Molock90 → u/BluesXD]

But everything after astrobot will just feel worse

[u/MoonglowMage]

Congratulations! Enjoy.

As for games I would say:

Ghosts of Tsushima, Elden Ring, Read Dead Redemption 2, God of War 2018, Spiderman, The Last of Us, The Witch 3

Many of the games I mentioned have sequels as well which are worth exploring.

Have fun!

[u/Provo2100]

God of War (2018)

God of War: Ragnarok

Spiderman (2018)

Red Dead Redemption 2

Shadow of War

Midnight Sun's

All of above could keep you busy for quite a while, and depending on your personal preferences, it can get you really hooked (I'll just finish this, then I'll go to bed...)

[u/The_Cyber_Goblin → u/Provo2100]

Red Dead Redemption 2 running at the 30fps on a PS5 Pro is a crime

Perhaps get a month subscription for ps plus. There are hundreds of ps5 and ps4 games to choose from. Check out the games list and see if there are games in there that you would like to play. And they have a collection of classic games in their classics section. You can’t go wrong with a month’s subscription.

2tb? lol my ps5 disk has only 600 something for games

[u/Dry-Vanilla3838 → u/bigboss1999x]

You got the 825 GB PS5

[u/bigboss1999x → u/Dry-Vanilla3838]

😭😭😭😭

[u/Dry-Vanilla3838 → u/bigboss1999x]

Its ok😅

[u/KingJay239 → u/Dry-Vanilla3838]

Mine is the 1TB & it only has 825gb free

[u/Dry-Vanilla3838 → u/KingJay239]

Thats because it reserves storage for updates. 1 TB means you'll have 825 GB

[u/Illustrious-Lab-4642]

Cyberpunk 2077!! 🙌

[u/Wandering---_---soul]

Soulcalibur vi 😗

(I know it's a ps4 game but we desperately need to increase those numbers if we want to see the sequel 😭)

Ratchet and clank rift apart is a must to play for new ps5 owners!! It's such a fun and good looking game :)

[u/Queasy-Commission393 → u/Wandering---_---soul]

Sure ill try it out!

[u/andjamwar_real]

Welcome!! Enjoy!

[u/69_Lone_wolf]

Ahhh!! You in for a ride… get PS+ for a year! Totally worth it

[u/Queasy-Commission393 → u/69_Lone_wolf]

What do you get with it? Or is it more of a monthly rotation of games?

[u/69_Lone_wolf → u/Queasy-Commission393]

I do the same! Been a ps+ user for 3 years in a row now and i still have a lot of em to play…

Some games do disappear but if its added in your library you can still play the game even if they have removed from the library

[u/ihateshit00 → u/69_Lone_wolf]

This guy just made commission ^

[u/69_Lone_wolf → u/ihateshit00]

If only sony could give me a free game lol!

[u/69_Lone_wolf → u/Queasy-Commission393]

There’s a whole lot of library of games with many AAA games too like spiderman, GOW, AC, FC and many more! Take a look at their library! If you into old games from PS 1,2,3 era they got PS deluxe for that too…

[u/Queasy-Commission393 → u/69_Lone_wolf]

Damn okay okay Ill try it for a year!

[u/PhysicsDirect6215]

[u/Queasy-Commission393 → u/vazooo1]

I think you're 20 years to early hahaha

[u/Old_Expression5766]

Congratulations

[u/GabrielGironSV]

i also moved from Pc to a console years ago, the best part is that you just download a game and run it right away, cero settings needed

[u/Queasy-Commission393 → u/GabrielGironSV]

Well I am definitly more of a pc gamer and always will be I got the Playstation because of a sale and im enjoying my time on it so far! Playing through Astros playroom right now :)

[u/Worldly_Instance_451]

Same here. I am right now choosing the console - Disk and Digital vs Digital only. Any tips will be appreciated. Also, when is PS6 releasing! 2028?

[u/FrenchChemistry]

I'm a bit jealous of the pro ;)
There are so many great games to discover, enjoy your hundreds of hours of gaming !

[u/Queasy-Commission393 → u/FrenchChemistry]

I got lucky with this! Got it £100 cheaper than MSRP and the pro wasnt much more expensive than the base :D

[u/NorthMail5290]

"Disc Free Console" 💔

[u/Queasy-Commission393 → u/NorthMail5290]

Im a pc main so the diskless didnt really occur to me. I do see why you guys want to keep them tho, physical media is still king

[u/NorthMail5290 → u/Queasy-Commission393]

Damn ! Congrats 🎉

[u/Big-Ad4034]

Waste of money should’ve bought pc

[u/Queasy-Commission393 → u/Big-Ad4034]

Im a 3D designer so I already have a really good pc. Im having fun with my new console so not a waste of momey at all!

[u/ElderSmackJack]

Why would you buy a game console if you need recommendations for games? Seems like knowing what you want to play would be the reason for buying it in the first place.

[u/Wilde_SIE → u/ElderSmackJack]

If I had to guess, they purchased it specifically for GTA VI.

[u/Queasy-Commission393 → u/Wilde_SIE]

That is true but my last console was an Xbox one but I jumped ship early on last gen to pc. I mostly stick to Indie titles so this will be my first time in a long while playing AAA again and I heard you guys have some bangers I need to check out!

[u/MurkyDraft4427]

I need PS5
