2023 has the potential to be one of the best years in gaming for a long time, and that prospect hasn't been lost on Sony. The firm has published a new video that is designed to accompany a PlayStation Blog post it uploaded last week which highlights 23 anticipated games landing on PS5, PS4 this year.
While not every game has a confirmed release date so far, they are all slated for 2023. The full list Sony highlights is as follows, in order:
- Final Fantasy XVI
- Horizon Forbidden West: Burning Shores
- Marvel's Spider-Man 2
- Assassin's Creed Mirage
- Resident Evil 4
- Forspoken
- Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League
- Dead Space
- Stellar Blade
- Street Fighter 6
- Star Wars Jedi: Survivor
- Alone in the Dark
- Firewall Ultra
- Pacific Drive
- The Lords of the Fallen
- Horizon Call of the Mountain
- Destiny 2: Lightfall
- Eternights
- Tchia
- Season
- Synduality
- Hogwarts Legacy
- Wild Hearts
2023 is shaping up to be such a good year that a list of 23 PS5, PS4 titles can't cover everything that's on offer. There's also Diablo IV, Atomic Heart, Like a Dragon: Ishin!, Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty, and Dead Island 2. And that's just on the PlayStation side. Throw Xbox and Nintendo into the mix and you've also got Redfall, Forza Motorsport, Starfield, and The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom to get excited about. If everything hits, we have got a fantastic 12 months ahead of us.

Guaranteed best year for gaming ever!! I’m pumped let’s do this!!
@WolfyTn we've had some bangers in the last 10 years
Damn that's an impressive line up, and thats only the announced stuff.
It’ll be the best year ever by Feb 22nd, let alone the end of the year.
Much better year than 2022. Didn't expect Mirage to be a 2023 game but more of 2024 one. Still looking forward to getting it later this year.
I have zero hype anymore but when I take a step back, perhaps it's because I'm too busy creating my own story with writing a novel to have time for other's stories.
@Uncharted2007 nice story brah
lol is this what that supposed leaker alluded to when he "leaked" the most vague / safe leak ever? hahah probably. either way, good on Sony for this quick teaser of games to come out for 2023.
@Uncharted2007 maybe take a step back from writing crap on here and you could fit some games in
What makes a great year for gaming. In my opinion, that you get two or three games you really adore and spend dozens of amazing hours. In 2022, many gamers had this with Elden Ring and GoWR. So will 2023 be a better year to them?
Looks great but what about CALL OF DUTY: Modern Black Ops Advanced Vanguard World At Warfare 13??? 😉😂
I've just had one of those random thoughts again going off on different paths. What if this Last of Us factions multiplayer game also includes part 3. It might seem like a stretch but ND have been taking an extra long time with this factions and Druckmann recently mentioned something about story is a part of this factions. Unlikely but not impossible. Most likely side filler story for factions mp and part 3 comes much later if it happens. Not off topic cause factions is scheduled for this year
Another year full of amazing games! Not including Switch games, Game Pass, & PS Plus Premium. I'll be busy for a long time! Us gamers have it made!
We probably don’t know about many great games coming, since Sony did not care to do a proper showcase in 2022 (probably due to Activision buyout)
@Boucho11 So much for this being a great community.
God I can't fvcking wait for Stellar Blade! And Eternights looks amazing too.
9 on that list interest me.
Stellar Blade please bring me my current hardware-Bayonetta.
Let's gooooooo!!!
@Uncharted2007 I was giving you a solution
"Throw Xbox and Nintendo into the mix and you've also got Redfall, Forza Motorsport, Starfield."
Bethesda is carrying Xbox.
In any case, we cannot say that Playstation has no exclusives
And this is only what we know about... a pretty epic year in the making, even if a few are inevitably delayed.
Of the games shown, my top five are
1. Spider-man 2
2. Final Fantasy 16
3. Horizon: Burning Shores
4. Stellar Blade
5. Eternights
Forspoken would be pretty high on the list, but it's out next week so I left it off.
Hogwarts Legacy
Spiderman 2
Final Fantasy 16
RE4 Remake
My wallet is going to be hurting
@TheCollector316 Nintendo has Zelda coming so the gaming world with stop for a few months on that release alone. Throw in whatever Nintendo is cooking up for E3 and Microsoft and of Course Sony and this year is going to cost some money. Which is good, seeing as i didn’t buy that much in 2022. Looking forward to it.
My wallet is crying looking at that list.
It might be a good sign that at least for now they're including VR releases with everything else.
Yea with only one title coming from them smh, and before anyone says it I don't want to hear about them piggybacking off Square Enix for "timed exclusives" with Forespoken and FF.
@NEStalgia I actually thought it was disingenuous to include games that require a $500 headset to be included on a PS5 and PS4 game list. And that “and” should be an “or” with HFW DLC not being on PS4 with the rest of the game. 🤑
Though I haven’t watched it yet so maybe the vid is better written than the headline.🤷🏻♂️
@rjejr Good point, that'll be frustrating if not into VR to see "first party exclusives" including games that basically require a different, more expensive console. OTOH, it's not so different from when they had Vita.... The part that's good though is their penchant for spinning off "second" platforms that they then ignore completely and then discontinue after half-hearted support, so it's at least encouraging that they may properly support it.
And that HFW DLC thing is nasty, I didn't even know that! Gross.
It's funny though because at the end of the video they basically promote PS4 as current gen, yet they show a slim next to PS5 which is like putting Daniel Craig next to Shaq.
@rjejr it does say "PS5 and PSVR2 required to play" on every PSVR2 clip
N.i.c.e. thats a lot of games.word up son
SF6 is the only multiplayer
SMH
Anyone else wants to play most of these games? I wish I had the time and money... 2023 is shaping up to be an amazing year for gaming.
P4G, Like A Dragon Ishin, Eternights, FFXVI, Stellar Blade and Spider-Man 2 are the games I'm most excited for on PS5
There we have it the most efficient showcase in just under 2 1/2 minutes.
Going to be a great year for gaming.
This year looks to be the best since 2017, but I’m not gonna lie, it’s a bit baffling that the only first-party titles for this year will be an Horizon expansion and Spider-Man 2…
@Boucho11 Not a great one to be fair mate. ;P
Me= YESSSSSSSSS!
Wallet= noooooooo please noooo
Yea I'm saving up
No.1 game startrek resurgence first quarter of 23 I heard and here we are YOOOOO HOOOOOO startrek redemption where are you yooooo hooooo im gona buy 2 copies one for PC and ps5 day one yooooo hooooo hot dang I thought that would of got a reaction. Bit like I'll find you beer baron , no you won't
Yes I'm a Simpsons nut to old Simpsons I stopped watching series 17 or so it started when I was 14. The Simpsons game got me excited lol
The lords fallen I'll have to play the first one first I thibknit has save state but the starwars game the only one I'm interested in here.
Sony is this video the Games Showcase for 2023? Some good games but no bangers for me. Good thing my backlog goes back to PS1.
@Boucho11 Valid point. I don't see why I bother with gaming communities when I find modern gaming to be trash.
Thanks for the help.
@TheCollector316 could you imagine if they had failed to aquire Bethesda? Lol my goodness
@Ken_Kaniff If you think that about sonys 2023 line up I would love to hear what you thought about xbox 2022 line up.
Great line-up, something for just about everyone. I myself am interested in about half the titles here in some capacity. Already own four of them, in fact, and am just waiting on that pesky release date thing to pass.
And the crazy thing is that this isn’t even everything that will release. There’s undoubtedly still some surprises.
@GuttyYZ hahaha well I didn’t say it was a great one or even a good one… it is a solution though
@NEStalgia I don't mind the Slim next to the PS5, that's probably the only version available now, so why bother showing the others? Not showing the $550 headset ($600 w/ NY tax 🤑) you'll need to play at least 2 of those games seems a bit... not nice. Also, why are some games on PS4 and PS5 but NO GAME is on both PSVR and PSVR2? 😝
@Voltan Thanks. Finally did watch it just now. That "Only" at the end of each PS5 game, but not "PS4 & PS5" on the others, seemed kind of lame, but you were right about VR getting mentioned. I suppose it's fine. 🤷♂️
@Uncharted2007 why is modern gaming trash? How old are you if you don’t mind me asking? I’m 39 and find gaming at the moment to be amazing. Some of the games in the past year or so have been top tier never mind what we’re getting this year. By asking your age I’d like to figure out what was your peak?
I also quite like this community and it’s certainly better than most gaming sites
@rjejr The "only on PS5" thing might be considered misleading - I guess in a "PS5 and PS4" video it's technically a way of saying "not PS4" but several of those games are also coming to XBox and PC and this makes it seem like they're not (they know exactly what they're doing)
You love to see that FF16 right at the front
Gonna be a great year!
Am I the only that is getting overwhelmed with games i just cant keep up anymore... ☹️
2022 will be better for many of us simply because of Elden Ring.
@doctommaso Elden Ring is overrated.
@4kgk2 Hence "for many of us" — for some others, with bad taste, 2023 will be better.
@doctommaso I beat all from software soul games and Elden Ring is they’re worst soul game because they’re easiest soul game.
@rjejr psvr1 really got the shaft. No bc, no upgrade path. I never even got my camera adapter!
I have a decent library for vr1 I'd love to have played on the better gear (thumper, Astro bot, Skyrim which is out for obvious reasons... )
Gulp and here’s me with no time to hit my backlog
Burning Shores and Stellar Blade is all I need.
Had to do out a list of games to buy over the next two years just to budget for them lol.
@Voltan
Why would a Playstation video highlight that games are also on pc and Xbox?
You dont see a Xbox video highlight that.
@Neverwild Nah, I'm just saying "Only on PS5" makes it sound like it's exclusive, which isn't true. Of course they wouldn't say "also on Xbox".
I'm also saying it's pretty smart to do it that way.
Good year for horror fans !
@Doublecell I don't play Xbox so I could careless. What I do care about is Sony having all these studios and we are going to go through 2023 with one game from them. When two to three a year has pretty much been the standard since the PS3 days.
@Ken_Kaniff didn't say you did, just saying nothing is as bad as the year xbox had so it could be a lot worse.
@NEStalgia I did finally get my PSVR camera adapter, I think I had to order it twice on the website, and it's sitting right next to my Wii U b/c the PS5 takes up too much room on it's shelf.
The PSVR is hooked up to the PS4 in my kids room who's away at college. I still need to finish Astro Bot Rescue Mission, it's really good, and Moss and Paper Beasts, before he graduates in May and moves back home b/c that's what college grads do. Maybe when winter begins. Surely it has to begin before spring begins. 🤷♂️
@Voltan (they know exactly what they're doing)
But that doesn't mean they're doing it well. 😂
I'm mostly excited to play these games...
