Which PS5 Launch Games Should You Play? & Which Should You Skip?

We now know what the PS5 launch lineup looks like, so it’s time to decide what we’ll be playing on launch day, launch week and the month following.

This week we also discuss what information we’ve learned from PS5’s being out in the wild, the first custom PS5 faceplates and what PS5 streaming apps will be available on launch day. We also have the most important Uncharted movie update with our first look at Tom Holland as Nathan Drake and what appears to be a Mark Wahlberg playing Sully with a moustache.
