Mine was Astro’s Playroom while I was waiting for Horizon Forbidden West to install. Astro’s Playroom was really good too!
Loved Astros playroom. Not joking when I said that it’s a top 3 PS5 game. Not much of a story ofc, but the platforming and levels, not to mention controller implementation was top tier. 9/10
I loved the controller implementation too!
Actually Astro’s play room as well, but I also play Ghost of Tsushima(I think I was on last Act and trying to plat it at the same time when I beat the final boss), so I transfer my saves over and play the PS4 version on PS5. So I played both at the launch window of PS5. Ghost of Tsushima have really good loading time on PS4 Pro already so when I first play on PS5 I was not really amazed by PS5’s loading time.
I did the same with GoT actually. Once I had placed my PS5 launch order I stopped playing GoT until I could play it on PS5
It’s actually insane how fast the load times are in Ghost of Tsushima. They’re practically instant.
Just to be different, my first game was… Astro’s Playroom. 😆 The controller effects were amazing and I’ll never forget when the controller acts and sounds like a spring. That really impressed me.
As for what came next? I honestly can’t remember but I’d been claiming the free PS5 PSN games since they started so it was either Bugsnax or the game where you’re a shark.
I won my PS5 in a Twitter competition and it came with a copy of Dirt 5 but I wasn’t impressed, especially as it used to stutter quite a bit.
That’s cool you won your PS5. Hard to beat getting one for free!
I couldn’t believe it and there was a delay in getting it shipped. The three week wait was agonising! 😆
Astro’s playroom for me as well. Loved it. After that I played Sackboy and Demon’s Souls. Funny enough, I haven’t finished either of those.
Horizon forbidden west, I loved the first and I’m definitely loving FW as well. Next up is to get the VR2.
Same! I got the HFW bundle but I played Astro Bot game first. Hope there will be a full sized platformer.
Nioh 2 upgraded for PS5. Was my favourite game on PS4 and it’s my favourite game on PS5 too. It has three performance options, it’s a really well-done upgrade, and it’s free (the upgrade).
Demon’s Souls. My wife and I bought ours in a pack that included the PS5, a headset, Horizon Forbidden West, and Gran Turismo 7. We also bought a used copy of Demon’s Souls and Demon’s Souls was the first game we played on PS5. Was not disappointed.
I think I started by playing Cyberpunk 2077 which was my main motivation to get a ps5 as it was apparently unplayable on the ps4. Almost simultaneously, I was playing GT7 (still am) which I started on the ps4.
Strangely, except Astro, I haven’t played another ps5 exclusive yet as I’m mostly playing old games.
