The fall season is great – it’s when the best PlayStation 4 games come out. In preparation for the cold winter months ahead, Sony’s stocking its systems (PS4 Pro, PS4 Slim and the original PS4) with some of the best games on the planet so you don’t need to ever go out into the cold. 

But with so many great games available, it can be tough to know where to start.

That’s where our guide to the best PS4 games comes in. Between us, the editors at TechRadar have played almost every game the console has to offer, and we’ve put our heads together to bring you this ever-evolving guide to the best of them.

Initially it might have relied a little too heavily on remasters of old PS3 titles such as The Last of Us and Grand Theft Auto V, but nowadays the console has a library that’s thoroughly capable of standing on its own two feet, with a great mix of big-budget triple-A titles and indie games alike.

There’s games for the youngins (see: Rayman Legends), games for retro fans (see: Shovel Knight) and something everyone can love (see: Fallout 4).

Yes, the console’s early years may have been cursed by a lack of backwards compatibility with the PS3’s library (a problem now mitigated, if not entirely solved, by the arrival of PlayStation Now), but these days there are enough games made for PS4 for this to be much less of an issue.

In constructing this list we’ve tried to cover a variety of game styles and genres from big to small, single-player to multiplayer. So whether you’ve owner a PS4 since launch, or whether you’re a newcomer to the system, you should find something new to love in our 20-item-strong, best-of-the-best list.
