9 Best PS5 Multiplayer Games UK | Sackboy COD and More

You'd have to have been living under a rock for the last three years to not have heard of Fortnite and, like Minecraft, it has become something of a cultural phenomenon. There are Fortnite toys, clothes, and countless other merchandise available.

The game itself is still one of the best around, constantly evolving with each new season and battle pass; there's now an updated PS5 version available as well. While free to play, it's well worth picking up a bundle like this in order to gain exclusive skins and spend your V-Bucks on the latest battle pass for even more goodies!

It would be no surprise if you hadn't heard of the Guilty Gear games before as they were something of a cult classic; big in the fighting games community but without widespread coverage. Their makers, Arc System Works, gained a lot of popularity with the 2018 release of Dragon Ball FighterZ and now everyone is talking about Guilty Gear Strive.

Whether you're looking to climb the online leaderboards or have a few matches with some friends, Guilty Gear Strive is hands down the best fighting game experience on the PS5. Playing online suffers no delay or lag due to the game's implementation of rollback netcode which is a huge leap forward in online gaming.

You probably don't need us to explain what FIFA is; it's the best football game on the market and some of the best fun you can have on a sofa with some mates or seriously competing against others online in the popular Ultimate Team mode.

You can actually purchase the PS4 edition of FIFA 21 and upgrade it for free to the PS5 version and enjoy faster load times and better graphics. This is as simple as popping the PS4 disc into the PS5 and downloading an update.

Demon's Souls is not a traditional multiplayer game by any means, but it is one of the best games available on the PS5. The first in the so-called "souls-borne" genre, this is actually a complete remake of a PS3 game and is one of the most visually stunning and fully realised worlds in all of gaming.

The multiplayer aspect allows you to summon other players into your world to help you progress and also invade other people's worlds in order to hunt them down and defeat them in battle. There are also other multiplayer elements, but we wouldn't want to spoil anything...

After something of a rocky launch, No Man's Sky has gone above and beyond its initial promises, with update after update adding more and more things to do. With its most recent update, it has become one of the best online co-op experiences you can have on the PS5.

If you're a fan of anything sci-fi, you'd be doing yourself a disservice not checking out this title. It even has VR support, meaning you can't get any closer to the feeling of stepping foot on a new, alien planet with friends before jumping in your spaceship and flying off to the next.

With most co-op games you're working together with a group of friends in order to achieve a common goal; this is true with Sackboy: A Big Adventure, but a lot of the fun in this game is messing with your friends.

There is something extremely pleasurable in working towards beating a level and then knocking your companion into a pit or off the side of a cliff. Sackboy leans into this chaos, encouraging you to have fun without punishing mistakes while retaining a challenge. This is great for children, or if you want to feel like a child again.

Overcooked! All You Can Eat challenges players to work together in order to run a restaurant by cooking dishes, serving them, and washing plates; it is way more fun than it sounds. The levels are filled with wacky shenanigans, taking place in haunted houses, lava filled volcanos and outer space.

If you're familiar with the Worms series of games, you'll have some idea of the chaos that emerges from the gameplay, as one of you is running around trying to find a clean plate while your kitchen is on fire and the burger your team-mate has cooked is disappearing out of sight along a conveyor belt. 

If you're looking for a great puzzle game you can play with friends either online of offline, Puyo Puyo Tetris 2 is the best experience you'll find on the PS5. We're going to assume you're familiar with Tetris, but Puyo Puyo gameplay revolves around matching the same colour blobs together to clear the screen.

The multiplayer in this game pits two players directly against one another in a heated head-to-head battle to prove who is best. If you have a competitive streak with a friend or partner, this is the game to prove who has the biggest brain once and for all!

Minecraft has been something of a cultural phenomenon in the last 10 years, allowing you to build whatever your imagination can come up with; it is often referred to as the video game equivalent of playing with a LEGO set. Whether you're exploring dungeons and caverns or building a town, Minecraft is some of the best multiplayer fun you can have on PS5.

The only reason that this sits at the number 10 spot on our list is because an updated PS5 version is still a little way out, but the PS4 version still works perfectly on the PS5 console. Perfect for encouraging creativity in either children or adults.
