Best PS5 Games to Buy Used in 2026

Three years into the PS5's life, the exclusive library has become one of the strongest in PlayStation history. Physical copies of major titles have started dropping in price as the generation matures — meaning you can now build a world-class PS5 collection for a fraction of launch prices. These are the games worth hunting down.

Insomniac's sequel is the best superhero game ever made. Playing as both Peter Parker and Miles Morales, swinging through a massive, detailed New York has never felt better. The symbiote storyline delivers genuine emotional weight. Used physical copies sell for $35–$45 on eBay — well worth it for one of the generation's defining exclusives.

The sequel to 2018's God of War is a masterpiece. Kratos and Atreus's journey through the Nine Realms is emotionally devastating, mechanically deep, and visually stunning. The combat has been expanded significantly. The story pays off every setup from the first game and then goes further. Used copies sell for $25–$35. If you only buy one game for your PS5, make it this.

FromSoftware and George R.R. Martin's collaboration produced one of the greatest open-world games ever made. Elden Ring is brutal, mysterious, and endlessly rewarding. The Lands Between is packed with secrets, bosses, and lore that players are still discovering years after launch. Used copies regularly sell for $20–$30 on eBay. The Shadow of the Erdtree DLC is essential.

Aloy's second adventure across a post-apocalyptic America is the best-looking game on the PS5. The robot dinosaurs are more varied and more fearsome than ever. The open world is packed with content and the story expands meaningfully on the first game. Used copies sell for $20–$30. The Burning Shores DLC is PS5-exclusive and worth picking up separately.

Square Enix took Final Fantasy in a bold new direction with XVI — a dark, character-driven action RPG set in a world of warring kingdoms and summon gods. The Eikon battles are some of the most spectacular set pieces in gaming history. The story is mature, ambitious, and emotionally engaging in a way the series hasn't been in years. Used copies sell for $25–$35.

Spider-Man 2: $35–$45. God of War Ragnarök: $25–$35. Elden Ring: $20–$30. Horizon Forbidden West: $20–$30. Final Fantasy XVI: $25–$35. Demon's Souls (PS5 exclusive remake): $20–$30. Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart: $25–$35. Returnal: $25–$35. These prices fluctuate based on condition and bundle contents — always check sold listings on eBay for the most accurate current prices.
