The Best PlayStation Games of All Time

From survival horror classics to multi-disc RPG epics, these are the games that defined Sony’s 30-year legacy

When it arrived in 1994, there hadn’t been anything quite like the Sony PlayStation. Famously born from a deal gone wrong between the Japanese tech giant and gaming’s golden child, Nintendo, it was a new competitor entering a fray that had previously been dominated by players generations deep in the industry. And while its offerings weren’t entirely new — Sega had beat it to the punch on CD-ROM based hardware in 1991 — what it capitalized on was something else entirely: really good games.

It should be obvious that good games would lead a publisher to success, but few companies have ever made a splash as big as Sony. In fact, only Nintendo’s total revitalization of the games industry in the Eighties even compares. With a rapid-fire release of both storied and new IP, as well as strategic partnerships that didn’t just create exclusive franchises, but took famous ones away from their original homes, the PlayStation instantly became a force to be reckoned with, and its technological leaps forward made the previously big players in the space look retro in comparison.

For three decades, PlayStation has remained on top. And while it’s true that its technological innovations and tactical marketing campaigns played a role in that success, the truth is consumers go where the games are, of which it has many. The original PlayStation kicked off multiple dynasties, including Resident Evil, Crash Bandicoot, Tekken, and more that are still considered to be the pinnacle of gaming. Now, in honor of its 30th anniversary, we’ve ranked the best games to come from the OG era of PlayStation, from the rise of survival horror to multi-disc RPG epics.
