PlayStation game

Sony disc title

A PlayStation game is a video game designed for Sony's PlayStation consoles—a family of gaming systems that has dominated the market since 1994.

The term typically refers to games on physical discs or digital downloads for any PlayStation generation: I found my old PlayStation games in a box in the garage.

Some titles become synonymous with the brand: God of War is a classic PlayStation game.
