Best Games Like Cyberpunk 2077 to Play on PS5 in 2026

Since it’s 2026 and we’re all still collectively waiting for Project Orion to move out of pre-production, the search for decent games like Cyberpunk 2077 has become almost like a part-time job. While most of the lists are trying to stuff as many games as they can, and telling us that Starfield is like Cyberpunk 2077 because it has a city that's literally called Neon (very clever of you, Bethesda…slow claps continue) we’ve been busy gathering some jewels for you.

If you want the real games that actually share DNA with V’s journey, we’ve scraped the best from the internet and the deeper corners of the Reddit hivemind to find games that actually respect the genre.

1. Cloudpunk (2022)

Playable on : PC, PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch.

Forget being a hero. In Cloudpunk, you’re a delivery driver for a "mostly legal" courier service. You have a hover-car, a dog-personality chip, and enough debt to keep you in the sky forever. You can say that it's the 'driving and vibing' simulator that 'punk-loving gamers drift toward when they’re tired of being shot at.

Why it’s like Cyberpunk 2077: This game is all about the atmosphere. As Gameranx pointed out when discussing the developer's world-building, it captures the 'people living in urban decay' where the city itself is the main character. If your favourite part of night city cruising means wandering the rainy streets at 3:00 AM, this is the exact experience you are looking for.

2. Ghostrunner 2 (2023)

Playable on : PC (Steam, Epic), PS5, Xbox Series X/S.

If you played Cyberpunk 2077 as a katana-wielding blur of limbs, then Ghostrunner 2 is your go-to game. It’s a high-speed, one-hit-kill parkour slasher that makes V’s movement look like they’re walking through wet cement.

Why it’s like Cyberpunk 2077: It’s the 'Cyber-Ninja' fantasy brought to life with logical and brutal gameplay. According to Gaming Dad Legends, it perfectly hits that high-speed combat itch while respecting your time - you'll either clear a room in ten seconds or die 50 times trying. There’s even a motorbike that actually feels like it’s going 200mph, something the Yaiba Kusanagi CT-3X could only dream of.

3. Deus Ex : Mankind Divided (2016)

Playable on : PC, PS4 (Playable on PS5 via backwards compatibility), Xbox One.

Back in September 2025, Aspyr Media walked onto the State of Play stage like kings, promising us a definitive, modernised version of the 2000 classic. They slapped a February 5, 2026 release date on it and started taking pre-orders. Fast forward to now, and the whole thing is 'flatlined'.

While the world was obsessing over the 2026 release of Deus Ex Remastered, the actual sequel, Mankind Divided, remains the gold standard. It’s the game CDPR looked at when they were figuring out how to make augmentations more than just (small) stat boosts.

Why it’s like Cyberpunk 2077: It’s the thinking person's RPG. As zeTOP Games has argued, this is where you go when you want ‘choice’ to actually mean something. You can talk your way past a guard, hack a turret to do your dirty work, or just install enough blade-arms to solve the problem (very violently). It’s got that same futuristic-corporate-conspiracy-noir feel, just on a much tighter, more dense scale.

4. The Ascent (2022)

Playable on : PC, PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One.

Imagine the Watson slums, but the camera is a mile high in the sky. The Ascent Group owns the city, you, and even the air that you breathe. Then they go bankrupt, and the city turns into a chaotic warzone. It’s a shooter with environmental depth so thick you can lick the details.

Why it’s like Cyberpunk 2077: It’s the visual aesthetic and the "Grafters." The Reddit LowSodiumCyberpunk community frequently points to this game because the 'High-Tech, Low-Life' vibe is super-identical. You’ll find the same holographic ads, the same back-alley ripperdocs, and the same sense of being a tiny, disposable piece in a very large, very broken machine.

5. Watch Dogs : Legion (2020)

Playable on : PC, PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One.

London has been taken over by a private military company and a very authoritarian AI. You have to recruit a resistance squad from literally the random people on the street. It’s Ubisoft, so yes, there are those ICONIC map markers, but the core 'Netrunner' tech is the closest thing to a digital playground on the PS5.

Why it’s like Cyberpunk 2077: It’s the ultimate Netrunner simulator. If you preferred hacking cameras and frying enemy brains from across the street in 2077, Legion takes that to its extreme. You can remote-control cargo drones, deploy spider-bots, and cause city-wide traffic accidents with the press of a button. According to the Watch Dogs Reddit threads, it captures that 'urban guerrilla' vibe of 'resisting' the corporations better than most games.

OrbeatX's Verdict

Look, we can sit here and refresh CD Projekt Red’s X account until we start glitching, but the reality is that Project Orion is still a distant neon dream in 2026. CDPR has been pretty blunt lately, there is no 'secret DLC' coming to save us this year. So they’ve been acting like a distracted parent who keeps buying gifts for their firstborn child (The Witcher) while the younger one (Cyberpunk) is starving in the corner.

You have two choices : you can keep replaying the Phantom Liberty ending until the emotional trauma becomes a personality trait, or you can branch out.

The 'Cyber-void' is only as empty as your SSD. Pick a game, install the chrome, and try not to let the corporations win.
