As the title says, I'm curious to know what are the best games to play online with friends on the PS5. My friends and I play Apex, but some are starting to get burnt out so we're looking for alternatives (that aren't fortnite, OW2 or Destiny 2). It feels like good multiplayer games are a bit limited. We tried Deep Rock Galactic but since we live in different countries the ping was unplayable due to it being peer to peer (~300+ ping).

So, what do you suggest?

If 300+ ping, that pretty much limit the game to turn based or something where syncing doesn't play a big role. (ie like old MMO, even if you have high ping you can still play cause it's not necessary to sync up other players location right away, as everything is happening on the server and eventually sync up is fine. )

But yeah, I don't have good suggestions with 300+ ping. if you can find a region that's <100 ping than I would recommend Rocket League, since it's F2P.

I guess I should have clarified. I don't have 300+ ping, but when I play peer to peer, like Deep Rock, it had 300+ so that's why games with actual serves like Apex are better

I really like Back for Blood. They still haven't fixed getting mobbed by specials. And it's not high art. And it's not a forever game like Overwatch or Destiny. But it's fun and a good game to hangout with people in, without having to worry about too much strategy.

We played a bit of B4B, but it didn't feel like a full game. And since not all 4 can be on at the same time, we haven't found time to finish the DLC. Do agree it was good mindless fun though!

PSO2 works great with 300 ping. I used to play on Japanese servers from Europe. Most of the things you see are client sided.

Someone else also recommended. I'll have to check it out!
