Collider has published a ranked list of the ten best PlayStation games of all time, reflecting on how the console brand has shaped the video game industry since its 1994 launch. The piece argues that PlayStation's reputation and longevity across five console generations rest heavily on its strong line-up of first-party and exclusive third-party titles, acknowledging that any such ranking is inherently subjective given the breadth of quality games available.

Among the entries revealed are Kingdom Hearts II (2005), placed tenth and praised as the high point of the RPG series for refining the original's blend of Disney and Final Fantasy worlds on PS2, and Castlevania: Symphony of the Night (1997), ranked ninth for reinventing the franchise and helping establish the "Metroidvania" genre on the original PlayStation. The full list continues through eight further titles spanning multiple PlayStation console generations, though the remaining entries were not included in the available article text.
