Sackboy: A Big Adventure
2-4 players | Local co-op
Staking an early claim to be the most charming platformer of the new generation, Sackboy’s quest to save Craftworld can be enjoyed with another three Knitted Knights on the same PS5 console. You can play through the whole adventure together or hit the dedicated teamwork levels in every world, where you’ll need to cooperate and communicate to reach the goal.
DualSense features: Haptic feedback means that each part of Craftworld’s terrain feels different under Sackboy’s woolly feet, while each bump you take – or inflict on a pal – will buzz through the controller.
Fortnite
2 players | Local co-op
If you’re yet to try Fortnite’s split-screen co-op mode, there’s no better place than on PS5 with a pair of DualSense wireless controllers. Not only will you dive into a more visually polished experience (up to 4K and 60FPS on a compatible TV), but your controller lets you feel the games in all new ways.
DualSense features: All your favorite weapons come alive with a distinct feel every time you pull the trigger. A sniper rifle has a different trigger response to a pistol or SMG, while weapons that require you to hold down the trigger bring the controller to life with sustained haptic feedback at varying intensity.

EA SPORTS FIFA 21

The iconic soccer franchise needs no introduction; every PlayStation generation has seen rivalries settled on the pitch and FIFA 21 kicks things into the PS5 generation with a fresh intensity thanks to the DualSense wireless controller. Match day atmosphere is captured with enhanced visuals and light effects for each stadium, as well as pre-match cinematics and fan reactions to big moments to increase the realism. But it’s with controller in hand that you’ll really feel the beautiful game come alive…
DualSense features: As your players’ stamina drains, you’ll feel a change in resistance to the adaptive triggers to match their fatigue. Haptic feedback reacts with variable intensity to every collision, and vibrates in different areas of the controller dependent on the power of your strikes and which foot they're taken with.
Haven
2 players | Local co-op

Warhammer: Chaosbane – Slayer Edition
2-4 players | Local co-op

Overcooked! All You Can Eat
2-4 players | Local competitive & co-op
A smorgasbord of hilarity awaits as the original Overcooked, its sequel and all DLC packs come together to serve up one of the tastiest party gaming experiences on PS5. You and your fellow chefs are tasked with working together to prepare a range of dishes and keep your diners happy. Sounds simple, right? But when the ingredients start to fly, pots boil over and there’s a rat in the kitchen, things really start heating up.
DualSense features: Haptic feedback lets you feel where in the kitchen the action is happening, as well as alerting you to burning food, while the controller’s speaker amplifies the kitchen chaos with bleeping alarms and countdowns as the pressure ramps up.
Madden NFL 21
2 players | Local competitive & co-op
Once again, the Madden NFL franchise brings the biggest hits in sport to PlayStation – and on PS5 there are new game modes to settle your rivalries, plus the full force of the DualSense wireless controller to feel every collision in your hands.
DualSense features: In NFL the hits come from all directions, and you’ll feel them all through your controller as the haptic feedback vibrates from every angle. More subtle is the jolt as the Quarterback hikes the ball, or the change in trigger resistance depending on whether you’re sprinting or trying to smash through a defensive line. Additionally, the DualSense wireless controller’s built in speaker broadcasts plays as they're called or as the clock runs down at the end of each quarter.
NBA 2K21
2-4 players | Local competitive & co-op
2K’s basketball experience takes a giant leap towards incredible realism on PS5. Bring a friend onto the court with you, and you could be dribbling and dodging past them with smoother, more precise movements that make every turn, break and foot plant feel like you’ve made it to the NBA.
DualSense features: As your players tire, sprinting with the adaptive triggers becomes more difficult. Smaller or weaker players will also have a harder time backing down larger opponents with the triggers, and vice versa, while every collision from a grazing bump to a hard-hitting body check is reflected in your hands thanks to haptic feedback.
WRC 9
2 players | Local competitive
Challenge a friend to an off-road race in WRC 9 and you could be forgiven for forgetting you’re sitting on a couch. Each driver’s DualSense wireless controller adds even greater realism to this incredibly detailed driving sim, and when the head-to-head tension builds, who wins could come down to a test of nerves across the rugged terrain.
DualSense features: The adaptive triggers respond to your acceleration and braking as you weave in and out of bends, while haptic feedback works overtime to mimic what you might feel inside a rally car. The gearbox clicks in your hands with every change, getting more pronounced as your car takes bumps, while every bang and clatter of the terrain reverberates through your hands, letting you know when you’re straying off course – aided by the clatter of stones beneath your vehicle that ring out through the controller’s speaker.
