5 PS5 Games to Play This Weekend (September 19 – September 21)

by

PS5 gamers have a lot of fresh options this weekend! It’s been a busy week for new game releases, with exciting titles ranging from updated versions of classic role-playing games to the newest installment in a popular zombie series, and even a charming puzzle adventure featuring familiar building blocks. Plus, several other games are launching on consoles or arriving as indie titles. With so many choices, we’ve picked five games we think you should definitely try out before Monday.

Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter

This week sees the release of a fantastic remake of *Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter* on PS5, the first game in the *Legend of Heroes* series. The original *Trails in the Sky* is a highly-regarded RPG that remains enjoyable today, and this remake enhances it with updated visuals and a modern battle system, bringing it in line with recent *Legend of Heroes* titles. This remake is a great example of how to successfully update a classic game – it respects the original while improving the gameplay, making it one of the best RPGs of 2025 and an ideal entry point for newcomers to the *Legend of Heroes* series.

Dying Light: The Beast

The latest installment in the *Dying Light* series, *Dying Light: The Beast*, launched this week to positive reviews. Fans seem to be enjoying the new abilities added to the main character, Kyle Crane, which enhance the game’s already solid gameplay. There’s also a lot of optional content and side quests to explore. With Halloween approaching, this weekend is a great time to jump into the zombie-filled world of Castor Woods.

LEGO Voyagers

Lightbrick Studio, the team behind the beautiful *LEGO Builder’s Journey*, is back with *LEGO Voyagers*. This new game shares the charming puzzle-solving and building of its predecessor, but adds a cooperative mode – something *Builder’s Journey* didn’t have. *LEGO Voyagers* seems like a great game to enjoy with a friend or family member, especially on PS5, and could be just what you need for a relaxing weekend.

Frostpunk 2

The PlayStation 5 is getting more city-building games, and this week saw the release of Frostpunk 2. You don’t need to have played the first Frostpunk to enjoy the sequel – Frostpunk 2 builds on the original in interesting ways and is a great place to start for new players. If you’re looking for a challenging, dark, and strategic game, Frostpunk 2 is definitely worth checking out.

Towa and the Guardians of the Sacred Tree

I was super hyped for *Towa and the Guardians of the Sacred Tree*, and honestly, it lives up to the buzz! Everyone was saying it was a promising action roguelike, and after playing it, I’d say it really delivers that *Hadeslike experience we’ve all come to enjoy. The combat feels great, and the world is really unique. With *Hades 2*’s full release being limited to PC and Switch for now, *Towa* is the perfect game to play this weekend if you’re craving a good roguelike!
