PS5 Fighting Games and Shooters for Friends and Online Play
Fighting games and shooters are among the most popular choices for friends sharing a console, and for online play. Here is how to pick.
Fighting games
Mortal Kombat 1 and Mortal Kombat 11 Ultimate are famous for their violent finishing moves and strong story modes. They are strictly for adults and older teens.
Tekken 8 offers accessible yet deep 3D fighting and is great for competitive friends.
Street Fighter 6 is widely regarded as a very friendly entry point for new players, thanks to a simplified control option.
Fighting games shine in the same room with friends, so a second controller is essential. Check our PS5 guide.
Action and precision
Devil May Cry 5 Special Edition is a stylish action game with high energy and impressive combat. Sifu is a challenging kung fu game that rewards patience and practice.
Shooters
Call of Duty games, including Black Ops 6 and 7, Modern Warfare II and III and Black Ops Cold War, remain popular for campaigns and online multiplayer. Each game has different modes and online populations, so consider which your friends play.
Battlefield 6 focuses on large-scale warfare. Sniper Elite 5 and Gears of War: Reloaded provide different experiences. Hitman: World of Assassination and 007 First Light focus on stealth and creative missions.
Online requirements
Many multiplayer modes need PlayStation Plus or an active online service. Patches can be very large, sometimes tens of gigabytes. Check the sizes before downloading on a limited data bundle.
Stable, low-latency internet matters more than high speed. A wired connection to your router often helps with online play.
Age ratings
Most of the titles here are rated for mature audiences. Use the parental controls on your console if children have access to it. Online voice chat can also expose children to inappropriate content.
Headsets
For team-based shooters, clear communication makes a big difference. A headset with a good microphone helps. See our gaming gear guide and the headphone guide.
Choosing wisely
- Best with friends in one room: Tekken 8 or Street Fighter 6.
- Strong campaign and online play: Call of Duty.
- Thoughtful stealth: Hitman.
