The best PlayStation franchises, ranked
Jim Ryan talks about PlayStation on stage at CES 2023.

When compared to Nintendo franchises, it might feel like PlayStation hasn't been around all that long. But the PS1 came out 30 years ago and each console generation has had new and better exclusive games as Sony has built and acquired more first-party studios. There aren't as many franchises that have lasted as long as, say, Mario or Zelda, but they have had a huge impact on the industry and its players. Most of the best PS5 games are all tentpole PlayStation franchises, and the most exciting upcoming PS5 games are new installments in these beloved series. Looking back at every exclusive franchise, both active and retired, which ones remain the best? We've dusted off all the old systems to rank every major PlayStation franchise.

Before the Switch 2, it was a tight race in terms of power between the PS5 vs. Xbox Series X. However, Nintendo is releasing its most powerful console yet, which seems like it could rival the current market leader.

A big robot shooting a machine gun.

There's never an official theme for PlayStation Plus Essential games each month, but April's lineup is clearly catering to gamers' nostalgia. We've got a tight, focused single-player FPS game, a thrilling mystery RPG, and a rip-roaring multiplayer game all up for the taking. None of these games were necessarily smash hits upon release, but not for lack of quality. They each found a passionate fanbase that has been singing their praises for months (or years), and with a small break between big upcoming PS5 games, now is the perfect time to give these games a second chance. We're not playing an April Fool's prank on you here; these are the best PlayStation Plus games to play over the weekend.

Download and play Robocop: Rogue City. You have 20 seconds to comply. Just kidding, but this is a rare movie tie-in game that does the source material justice. You play as the iconic Robocop between the second and third films, enforcing justice on the streets of Old Detroid. You are free to explore various open zones to do basic police work, solve crimes, and get into shootouts. The game has light RPG and even immersive sim elements to it, but the style and tone of the game are where it really shines. As a shorter experience with an expansion on the way, it is a perfect game to dive into over the weekend.
