To their credit, console controllers have greatly improved, but they are still no match for a mouse and keyboard. That’s why most console gamers will avoid playing against a PC player, even if the game supports cross-play. Fortunately for PlayStation 5 players, some games support a mouse and keyboard, allowing for easier gameplay or giving them an advantage over their controller using peers.

6 Minecraft Bedrock Edition

Without any doubt, Minecraft is one of the most successful video games in history. That’s because Minecraft has hundreds of unique building materials to choose from, meaning there’s no limit to what a player can create. Moreover, players that struggle with creativity can test their survival skills by playing Survival Mode.

Playstation 5 players can play Minecraft with a controller, but it also has mouse and keyboard support. Playing with a mouse and keyboard is highly recommended since it helps players build and interact better. For example, controller players can’t quickly select an item from their Hotbar while a mouse and keyboard player can with a simple press of a button.

5 Warframe

Surpassing over 50 million registered players in 2019, Warframe is among the few free-to-play MMOs that have stood the test of time. This third-person shooter allows players to control unique Warframes (similar to a Mobile Suit from Gundam) to fight off several alien races in various procedurally-generated environments.

The PlayStation 5 version of Warframe has keyboard and mouse support, which comes in handy while using certain weapons like the overpowered Sniper Rifles. As well as helping with weapon aiming, a mouse and keyboard will also allow players to navigate through missions more easily, especially the Sorties or Spy ones.

4 Cities: Skylines

Even though Cities: Skylines didn’t have the same impact as SimCity, it still managed to satisfy the city-building simulation community. Over the years though, Cities: Skylines has evolved from a basic city-building game to one that allows players to build complex cities, which wasn’t possible in older games.

Due to its complexity, playing on a controller isn’t recommended since players will spend more time trying to navigate to a particular section than actually playing the game. Fortunately, Cities: Skylines on the PlayStation 5 has mouse and keyboard support, which is a huge advantage for beginners. With a mouse and keyboard, players can react quickly if there’s a disaster, such as a tornado or a tsunami.

3 Fortnite

Despite being often called “the Battle Royale for kids,” Fortnite has become the go-to BR for crossovers, featuring characters from Marvel, DC, Star Wars, and even the retired hitman John Wick. Aside from the crossovers, Fortnite isn’t a normal Battle Royale since players must also learn how to build defensive and offensive structures in the heat of a battle.

As players can expect, building a structure in the blink of an eye (like some pro-Fortnite PC players do) is quite challenging and somewhat impossible with a controller. The good news is that the PS5 version of Fortnite allows players to use a mouse and keyboard, as while Fortnite does have aim assist for controllers, this doesn’t help when it comes to building structures.

2 Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2

The Call of Duty franchise has one of the largest communities in the first-person shooter gaming world. Not every Call of Duty installment has been received well, but they all have action-packed multiplayer content. Despite its flaws, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 has gained lots of popularity since it introduced several groundbreaking game modes and gameplay mechanics.

While there’s a strong belief that Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 controller players are at an advantage due to aim assist, the fact is that they can’t compete against a skilled mouse and keyboard player. Fortunately, COD: Modern Warfare 2 on the Playstation 5 supports a mouse and keyboard, which means that players can quickly aim at players with a simple flick of the wrist.

1 Planet Coaster Console Edition

The spiritual predecessor of Rollercoaster Tycoon, Planet Coaster has earned its place as one of the best theme park creation simulators in the video game market. On top of that, developer Frontier Developments continues to release updates and DLC to this day despite the game being released in 2016. With this in mind, the console community was ecstatic when they announced the release of Planet Coaster Console Edition.

Similar to Cities: Skylines though, this theme park creation simulator doesn’t play too well on a controller since the navigation menu is quite extensive. As a result, it’s highly recommended to play with a mouse and keyboard, which the PS5 version supports. With a mouse and keyboard, players can build rides a lot easier, especially rides that require painstaking accurate placement, like roller coasters. This is important, as failing to place a ride correctly can be costly for the park if there’s an accident.
