Sony Promises It'll Launch Major PS5 Single Player Games Every Year Moving Forwards

Please and thank you

Hopefully more than just one each year. At least two big AAA and a few small titles would be great

Yo, thats actually good to hear. Totoki out here doing a better job than Hulst. Totoki for CEO! 😎

Already getting goosebumps just thinking about death stranding 2.

I surely hope they mean “major new single player game titles every year from next fiscal year onwards”

I know I'm supper bitter with this....

But,

NOW that the $700 pro is out, sony promises to go back to releasing exclusives every year?

Wow, thanks Sony.

This is great news. With that said, I don’t necessarily own a PS for its exclusives, although that plays a factor. PS is just my main choice for console gaming. For me, this year has been sublime, even with the lack of first party games.

Good to know!
A succinct roadmap wouldn't hurt either.

@Americansamurai1 they don’t have the studio’s to do that.

Especially as it’s taking 4yrs+ for AAA. That’s why they use timed exclusivity to fill the gaps

@PsBoxSwitchOwner they have like 15 studios, with a handful of them having multiple teams. Not to mention second party deals, so yes they can do it.

Actions speak louder than words. We've had nothing from naughty dog because sony enforced live service crap on them.

I'm very glad to hear that but as Red said above me actions speak louder than words hopefully they actually commit

I count 13 first party studios, that aren't supporting studios, or studios not likely to release another game this gen like Polyphony. 5 of which have multiple teams.

So in theory we might be getting 18 more first party games for the remaining generation. More if you count 2nd party. Thats around 4 a year. Not that they'd necessarily be distributed evenly throughout the years.

But this is all speculation ofcourse. It also depends on whether all these games in development, are being developed for current gen and not for next gen. But seeing as some, if not most of these developers havent released a game this gen, there’s a big chance that most is still coming out before the PS6.

@themightyant How DARE you forget to include Concord in 2024!

Happy to hear this. Additionally, it would be great if Sony shows information about games they are going to release moving forward. I’d like to know about a games existence a year or so in advance, followed by previews and footage as the launch window approaches. The build up to the original PS4 God of War games was awesome. By the time the game was released I was super super excited. That’s how I want to feel about Sonys first party games moving forward!!

It's really hard, for me, to get excited for more sequels though. I hope we finally might get some fun and original new IP:s.
But I bet it's just more of those cinematic third-person games 😮‍💨

I was excited until I read “expect a mix of single-player and live service games in the medium term” smh…

So what was it this year? Concord and astrobot

@RedRiot193 we have last of us 2 remastered

@CrispyMango92 @themightyant It is now when you boot it up 🤭

@LogicStrikesAgain He's already got a better job, haha. He's president of Sony!

@themightyant it's funny that your list of first party games in any other gen would be seen as a real winner but I think the perception is that it somehow doesn't count because those games came on to PS4 too.

I took a bit of a step back and thought through everything I played on my PS5 and in all honesty while I think a few of the IP need a bit of freshening up, I have had a great time this gen and the best of it usually comes in the back half of a consoles life.
