The House of Mouse has been delivering enchanting gaming experiences on PlayStation consoles in recent years, with titles crafted exclusively for the PS5, as well as PS4 games that can be enjoyed on the PS5 thanks to backward compatibility. Whether you're playing on a PS4 or PS5, you'll find the same magical essence that Disney movies and shows are celebrated for.
With Disney's acquisition of Marvel, Star Wars, and other iconic franchises, the variety of games under the Disney umbrella has expanded significantly. We've curated a list of seven top Disney (or Disney-adjacent) games that you can enjoy on your PS5 right now. If you're interested in exploring more titles beyond Disney, don't miss our comprehensive list of the best PS5 games available.
Here are the best Disney games on PS5.
Disney Dreamlight Valley
Disney Dreamlight Valley is a dream come true for Disney enthusiasts who adore life simulation games like Animal Crossing and Stardew Valley. In this enchanting world, you step into the shoes of a customizable avatar tasked with restoring the titular land to its former glory, which was lost to the Forgetting—a mysterious event that caused Disney characters to lose their memories and flee to their homeworlds due to the Night Thorns.
The journey to rebuild Dreamlight Valley involves gathering resources and constructing homes, but it's also an opportunity to befriend every Disney character you encounter—even the villains. This game offers a relaxed, family-friendly experience perfect for sharing 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 provided by Square Enix. The game follows Sora as he embarks on another epic journey with Donald and Goofy to reclaim his Power of Waking after his failed Mark of Mastery exam. Meanwhile, Riku and King Mickey search for Aqua, Terra, and Ventus, and Kairi and Lea train to become Keyblade wielders, all preparing for the ultimate showdown against Master Xehanort.
New gameplay mechanics such as Attraction Flow and Athletic Flow add fresh excitement, while worlds inspired by Toy Story, Monsters Inc., Big Hero 6, Tangled, and Frozen (including the iconic "Let It Go" scene) immerse you in beloved Disney and Pixar universes. The Re:Mind expansion further enriches the story and challenges you with battles against data versions of Organization XIII members and the enigmatic Yozora. Kingdom Hearts 3 is a stellar entry in the franchise, keeping fans eagerly awaiting Kingdom Hearts 4.
Star Wars Jedi: Survivor
Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, a Grammy Award winner for Best Score Soundtrack for Video Games and Other Interactive Media, is often hailed as one of the best Star Wars games ever crafted. 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.
With extensive customization options for Cal, a new Lightsaber stance reminiscent of Kylo Ren's, and top-notch level design teeming with NPCs, Jedi: Survivor fully immerses you in the Star Wars universe, enhanced by its compelling soundtrack.
Marvel’s Spider-Man 2
Despite Disney owning the Marvel universe, Sony's exclusive grip on Spider-Man doesn't stop us from including Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 by Insomniac Games on this list. This PS5-exclusive title follows Peter Parker and Miles Morales as they juggle their personal lives with their superhero responsibilities, facing new threats like Kraven the Hunter and the Venom symbiote, which turns Parker into a bully, echoing Tobey Maguire’s Spider-Man 3.
Picking up where Spider-Man: Miles Morales left off, the game introduces new web-based gadgets and Spidey suits tailored to each Spider-Man’s play style, including the iconic Venom suit for Peter. Its phenomenal success—selling 2.5 million copies in the first 24 hours and earning a spot on Wheaties cereal—solidifies its place as the best Spider-Man game ever made.
Disney Speedstorm
Disney Speedstorm by Gameloft Barcelona is the ultimate racing game for Disney fans, allowing you to compete against a vast array of Disney characters. This free-to-play PS5 title mirrors the gameplay of Mario Kart but features racetracks themed around the worlds of each racer’s film or franchise, 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 racers' stats, like Orange Bird assisting Figment.
While Disney Speedstorm offers a delightful crossover racing experience, it includes gacha-esque microtransactions, a feature not found in other racing games like Sonic and Sega All-Stars Racing or Mario Kart 8. The chance to race as Mulan, Sulley, Jack Sparrow, or Elsa against Mickey Mouse is an irresistible draw for Disney enthusiasts.
Gargoyles Remastered
Gargoyles Remastered is a lovingly crafted 2D side-scrolling platformer that revives the original 16-bit Gargoyles game for the Sega Genesis, developed for the PS4 by Empty Clip Studios. As Goliath, you navigate through the story of the Gargoyles' battle against the evil Eye of Odin, from the Viking invasion of Castle Wyvern to their awakening in modern-day Manhattan.
The game offers a unique visual toggle between the new art style inspired by the Disney animated series and the classic 16-bit pixelated look, enhancing your nostalgia. With an instant rewind feature to perfect your platforming and fighting skills, and a dynamic soundtrack that switches between remastered and original versions depending on the mode, Gargoyles Remastered truly gives you the best of both worlds.
Disney Classic Games Collection
The Disney Classic Games Collection, updated for modern consoles by Digital Eclipse and Nighthawk Interactive, is a nostalgic treasure trove. This remastered collection builds on the 2019 release, featuring console and handheld versions of Aladdin and The Lion King, plus The Jungle Book. New features include an interactive museum, a rewind function, and an expanded soundtrack.
If you own the 2019 version, you can upgrade with the DLC, which includes the SNES version of Aladdin and the console and handheld versions of The Jungle Book, for just $10.
