Best PS5 Exclusive Games
Listed below is what we consider to be the Best PS5 Exclusive Games. These titles excel in their chosen genre and cannot be played on other consoles or PC. That includes PS4; we're keeping this list purely PS5 exclusive.
It's easy to forget that Dark Souls and Elden Ring developer FromSoftware was behind the Armored Core series — a series that hasn't appeared on PlayStation consoles since 2013. Rumours regarding a new Armored Core game have been doing the rounds for quite some time — the developer even confirmed that some kind of Armored Core project was in the works years ago — but this latest 'leak' seems pretty legit.
According to ResetEra user Red Liquorice, Armored Core 6 — or whatever it happens to be called — is real, and it's been outed through a consumer survey of all things. Said survey includes story details, screenshots, and even gameplay footage. There's also mention of Hidetaka Miyazaki, the creator of Dark Souls and FromSoftware's other dark fantasy titles. He's apparently behind the sci-fi world of Armored Core 6.
