Yes, you can play PS5 games from different regions, as the PS5 console is not region-locked for games. This means you can purchase and play physical game discs from any region. However, digital content and services may require an account from the same region as the game. To access different region’s PlayStation Store for digital purchases, create a PSN account for the specific region of the game you're interested in.
