Table tennis has quite a popular following when it comes to game versions available on the PlayStation.

We’ll have a look at the top 4 table tennis titles you can enjoy on your PS5 that will have you grabbing your VR headset or PS controller with haptic feedback and settling in for hours of enjoyable gameplay.

4 Best table tennis games on PS5:

Racket Fury: Table Tennis VR
VR Ping Pong Pro
International Table Tennis
Table Tennis

1. Racket Fury: Table Tennis VR

Arguably the best table tennis game and simulator, for that matter, has to be Racket Fury. Published by Cmoar Studio in 2018, this table tennis game will have you playing so much that you may want to consider turning Pro.

You may be thinking well, you can’t really build table tennis skills if you are playing PS5 with a controller. The thing is, this game is based in VR (Virtual Reality).

That means you will need to get yourself a PSVR headset to play, but the Racket Fury title owners insist it is worth your investment just to play this game. If you have the cash to burn, then you may even want to consider getting your hands on PlayStation VR2, which is only compatible with the PS5.

Racket Fury is built with the most realistic and accurate physics, and another reason you may want to consider turning Pro after playing this game is that it was developed with the cooperation of elite table tennis professional players.

The game comes complete with a campaign mode that will challenge you against 16 unique opponents throughout four challenging competitions (cups).

Playing these competitions can be done in “simulation” or “full arcade” mode. These modes essentially let you change the physics of the game, with arcade mode being the easier of the two.

The 16 AI opponents can prove quite challenging, so there is a practice mode letting you hone your skills.

Besides that, each AI is based on motion-capture animation, meaning that all will have their own unique play style.

In addition to single player, you are able to play with friends and via multiplayer. The multiplayer feature gives you access to global rankings, direct matches, and quick matches. You can customize your avatar and change the background scenery of each game you play.

During the game, if anything feels uncomfortable in terms of table placement, you have the option to adjust that too.

In terms of further customization, you are able to adust the following:

Paddle hand
Paddle angle
Distance
Spin
Speed

This is by far the best table tennis title we have on this list. If you are truly a fan and want a really enjoyable challenge, then you should definitely look into Racket Fury.

A large downside that could be a deal breaker is that you need a VR headset. However, being an avid table tennis fan it could be worth it.

Pros

VR
Fully customizable
16 unique AI options to play against
Online multiplayer
Different physics modes

Cons

You will need a VR headset

2. VR Ping Pong Pro

This is another arcade simulator table tennis game built for VR. Released in 2019 and published by Merge Games Limited, VR Ping Pong Pro is the subsequent game made due to the incredible success of VR Ping Pong, which was released in 2016.

Comparing VR Ping Pong Pro to Racket Fury, you can immediately tell that the environments are more realistic. Racket Fury is built with a specific theme in mind that has its setting based on “off-world,” having you pick your AI and your avatars based on robots.

VR Ping Pong Pro has environments based on real-life locations. Although the locations are beautifully designed, they and the menu do have room for improvement compared to Racker Fury. Your menu options are based on:

Languages
Settings
Audio
Credits
Rules
Quit

In terms of racket customization, you can adjust the way the racket looks, and you are able to adjust the following settings:

Serve mode
Hand
Rubber
Rotation
Location
Tilt

You can choose five locations when playing single-player, and the option for “world cup” mode is also available. For each single-player location, you also have a choice between five difficulty levels.

Once in the game, you will only be prompted with an AI featuring a paddle floating in mid-air, not any specific or unique avatars.

All-in-all, the physics are just as good as Racket fury, and the prices for each game are pretty much the same, with Ping Pong Pro costing $1 more than Racker Fury. This means you might want to purchase one of these games based on aesthetics alone.

Pros

Relatively cheap
VR
Environments based on real-life locations
Five different locations with five levels of difficulty to choose from
Multiplayer and world cup mode

Cons

VR headset is expensive
Menus and surroundings seem a bit lackluster
No unique AI avatar

The AI is similar to VR Ping Pong Pro in that it does not feature a specific avatar but; rather, you will test your skills against a floating paddle.
