It would be remiss not to include a racing game on this list, and on PS5 there's simply no racer more realism-obsessed than Gran Turismo 7. 

Per the racing simulator's lineage, GT7 retains its predecessors' emphasis on mind-bogglingly photorealistic vehicles and environments, combined with tight handling that, with a steering wheel, basically feels like the real thing.

But you can even go one better if you've got PlayStation VR 2 - or, more likely, a friend with one - given the game's full-fat VR support. The result is nothing short of astonishing - it is the closest you'll get to feeling like you're racing a car for real on PS5.

While Gran Turismo's famous commitment to realism isn't for all tastes - hence the popularity of the more arcade-friendly Forza Horizon franchise - it's an absolute godsend for petrolheads craving the most immersively true-to-life experience possible.
