Title, basically. Three Boys, aged 9, 10, and 13, are getting a PS5 for Christmas, and I want to expand their horizon beyond roblox and minecraft.

They're gett8ng one controller each, so bonus points for something they can play together.

PS: I'm not too strict about age restrictions. They know we'll what they are and aren't allowed to say and do, so I'm not very concerned about VoIlEnT videO gAmEs to a reasonable extent.

They do enjoy builders and open world stuff, by the way.

As a gamer dad, there are sadly very few couch coop games that make the third controller worth it. It's good for them each to have one, though, so they can each be responsible for keeping it charged.

Sports games, whichever sports they play. Spider-Man was a big hit, if they can manage to take turns. I've heard good things about It Takes Two, but I haven't bought that one yet.

The controller responsibility was the ma8n reason for getting three. Plus, they each have a design that I'm sure each kid will like.
