Boxing games are seeing a resurgence on consoles, with key developers confirming some big games with big partnerships are in the works. But, unfortunately right now the PS5 boxing games aren’t as widespread as one would hope.

But don’t worry – there are plenty of options for those of you looking to make your name in the blue or red corner.

Boxing mini-games are hard to come by these days but the one in the Tokyo Olympics videogame is a great way to have some fun with the sport. Plus, it comes with the added benefit of being packaged alongside a number of other mini-games, such as climbing, swimming, and athletics.

With 20 iconic characters from the films, like Apollo Creed, Ivan Drago, and more, Big Rumble Boxing offers a true pound-for-pound boxing experience that feels rewarding and fun.

This is a PS4 game by design, but it looks and feels good on PS5.

4. Creed: Rise to Glory

This is another Rocky-inspired boxing game, except this one follows the journey of Adonis Creed in VR. Here you’ll get the chance to go toe-to-toe with menacing opponents both in a story-based career mode and online.

The training modes are great and really let you improve your overall fighting abilities, all while Rocky Balboa oversees your sessions. And in VR, this is a true workout.

Fortunately, it’s one of the best PSVR 2 games too, as it is now available on the new generation of PlayStation’s virtual reality headset.

Plus, this iteration is much better than its predecessors. Clinch control is much more fluid, takedowns are slicker, and ground punches actually feel as devastating as they look.
