Here are the top 10 highest-rated PS4 games of 2020, according to Metacritic:

  • Persona 5 Royal - 95
  • The Last of Us 2 - 93
  • Dragon Quest 11 S: Echoes of an Elusive Age - Definitive Edition - 93
  • Dreams - 89
  • Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1 + 2 - 89
  • Pistol Whip - 88
  • Kentucky Route Zero: TV Edition - 88
  • Final Fantasy 7 Remake - 87
  • Doom Eternal - 87
  • Spelunky 2 - 87

The top 10 highest-rated PS4 games includes a couple of virtual reality titles as well, withDreams supporting PlayStation VR andPistol Whip built exclusively for VR.Pistol Whip had an impressive 88 rating, cementing itself as one of the world's most consistently popular VR games currently available.

Compared to the top Switch games of 2020 list that Metacritic put out, the PS4 list has many more bigger budget, triple-A video games. However, there are still some indie titles to take note of, includingKentucky Route Zero: TV Edition andSpelunky 2, which earned 88 and 87 scores, respectively.Spelunky 2 is also notable for having been a timed-PlayStation console exclusive.

There are plenty of big PlayStation games launching in 2021, so it will be interesting to see what this year's lineup looks like when it's all said and done. However, Sony will be slowly focusing more on the PlayStation 5 instead of the PS4, and so it's possible the PS4 will be missing out on some of the year's biggest games. Regardless, it should still have plenty of quality gaming releases, ranging from indies to tentpole PlayStation exclusive releases.
