Best PS5 games with friends: quick picks

Best for a football night: EA SPORTS FC 26

FC 26 is one of the easiest social recommendations because a group can rotate players, run mini-tournaments and keep playing without needing a long story campaign. Official PlayStation information lists FC 26 as supporting 1–4 players locally. At KSh 4,700, it is also much cheaper than FC 27 in the current catalogue.

Best competitive two-player game: TEKKEN 8

TEKKEN 8 is ideal when friends enjoy direct one-on-one competition. Matches are short, spectators can rotate in quickly and the game rewards practice. Mortal Kombat 1 and Street Fighter 6 are strong alternatives below KSh 5,000.

Best party game: Overcooked

Overcooked! All You Can Eat is designed around communication and controlled chaos. Up to four local players can cooperate, making it a strong choice when you want laughter and teamwork rather than serious competition.

Best cooperative adventure: Sackboy

Sackboy supports up to four local players and lets friends work through a platforming adventure together. It is one of the more family-friendly social choices and costs KSh 4,900 in the current catalogue.

Best long-form co-op game: Borderlands 4

Borderlands 4 supports 2-player split-screen on PS5 and up to four-player online co-op according to PlayStation. This makes it better for a regular pair or online friend group that wants progression, loot and a campaign rather than short party rounds.

Best creative game with friends: Minecraft

Minecraft supports up to four local players on PS5 and can support a much longer shared project than a sports or fighting game. Friends can build, explore and create their own objectives rather than following one fixed match structure.

Best wrestling night: WWE 2K26

WWE 2K26 supports 1–4 local players according to PlayStation. It is a strong social choice for wrestling fans who want matches that can involve more than two people on the same console.

Best games with friends under KSh 5,000

Overcooked at KSh 4,350, FC 26 at KSh 4,700, Mortal Kombat 1 at KSh 4,800 and Sackboy at KSh 4,900 all fit below KSh 5,000. This means a good social PS5 game does not need to be a premium KSh 8,000–10,000 purchase.

How to choose a game for your friend group

• Two serious competitors: TEKKEN, Mortal Kombat or Street Fighter.
• Football fans: EA SPORTS FC.
• Three or four people in one room: Overcooked, Sackboy, WWE or Minecraft.
• Two people wanting a campaign: Borderlands 4.
• Family or mixed-skill group: Sackboy or Minecraft.

Local vs online friend groups

If everyone is in the same room, prioritize local player counts and enough controllers. If friends are in different homes, check online support, internet requirements and whether PlayStation Plus is required. Do not assume a game with strong online multiplayer also supports multiple players on one console.
