Best PS5 Indie Games – Stray
The first thing you need to know about the game that was voted Best PS5 Indie Game is that it has a cat button. The second thing you need to know is that Stray is a fantastically creative adventure about a cat lost in the depths of a neon-lit cyberpunk world surrounded by a fascinating cast of robots. From the moment it was revealed, it was clear that developer BlueTwelve Studio had something special on their hands and apparently PS5 players also agreed.
Stray is currently playable on PS4 and PS5, and PlayStation Plus Extra and Premium members can start meowing at no additional cost.

Best PS5 Graphics Slideshow – God of War Ragnarok
Sony Santa Monica brought the Nine Realms to life in incredible detail in last year’s God of War Ragnarok. Midgard’s snow-capped peaks stand in stark contrast to the scorched landscape of Muspelheim and the towering city walls of Asgard, ensuring no other area is the same. Set in this context, Kratos, Atreus, and the companions’ stunning design and dramatic animation make God of War Ragnarök an astonishing visual spectacle on PS5.
You can explore the Nine Realms today, with God of War Ragnarök now available on the PlayStation Store. If you’re a PlayStation Plus Premium member, you can try three hours of adventure at no extra cost with the recently added Game Trial.
