At this year's Summer Game Fest Play Days, many new titles for PS5 were showcased. Some of them were not only available to watch but also to test on-site, allowing journalists to see the games in action and gather new details.

Among the showcased titles are the cooperative shooter Aliens: Fireteam Elite 2, the new Crazy Taxi: World Tour, the mysterious gen Atlas by Fumito Ueda, Silent Hill: Townfall, cooperative Sonic Pico Park, and Virtua Fighter Crossroads.

Aliens: Fireteam Elite 2 takes place five years after the first game. In the sequel, the team has expanded from three to four players, and during missions, players will have to fight their way through an abandoned ship filled with Xenomorphs, Weyland Yutani androids, and new enemies. Among the classes is a medic with a portable healing station and the Overclock ability, which speeds up the reload and weapon switch for nearby allies.

Crazy Taxi: World Tour brings back the Sega arcade series and focuses on a story mode. The events unfold in five locations across five different countries, starting with the theft of Axel's car. The game will feature progression and additional tasks, and the developers confirmed that this time players will even be able to drive across the ocean.

Silent Hill: Townfall was shown in a hands-off format, without the opportunity to play. The first-person game centers around a portable television that replaces the classic radio of the series: it helps navigate, find signals, and see enemies through walls. The demo also showcased puzzles, close combat, and attempts to avoid confrontations, as enemies here are deadly dangerous.

Sonic Pico Park focuses on cooperative chaos. In a party of four players, each takes one character from the Sonic universe — Tails, Knuckles, Amy, or Sonic himself — and together the team solves short puzzles. Often, players need to build "living" towers, jump on each other's heads, use Tails' flight, and perform spin dashes to complete the level.

gen Atlas, a new game from genDesign and Fumito Ueda, remains very mysterious. In the game, the hero wakes up on a planet with technological ruins and destroyed mechanical figures, with a giant robot as the main assistant. It will help with movement, exploration, puzzle-solving, and battles against other giant machines.

Virtua Fighter Crossroads moves the series more than ten years forward after the events of Virtua Fighter 5. The story will feature four protagonists, and the events will unfold in a fictional Southeast Asian country called Vilasapara. The game combines classic 3D fights from Virtua Fighter with a narrative that branches depending on player decisions, as well as a separate PvP mode.
