The PlayStation 5 (PS5) was officially launched in late 2020; however, initial supply constraints meant it only became widely accessible in the subsequent years. As 2024 comes to a close, this year has marked a mixture of achievements and challenges for Sony, providing valuable insights for the future.
In 2024, Sony has further complicated its position in the gaming industry. On one hand, the company celebrated a significant victory at The Game Awards with Astro Bot, winning the hearts of many fans. On the other hand, it faced setbacks such as the disappointing performance of Concord and mounting criticism regarding the anticipated PS5 Pro. The upcoming year, 2025, presents Sony with a crucial chance to build on its successes while addressing its shortcomings.
Upcoming PS5 Game Release Schedule for 2025
In 2025, the PS5 is slated to welcome a diverse array of high-profile games, featuring major exclusives such as Death Stranding 2: On the Beach and Ghost of Yotei. Additionally, players can anticipate the launch of major AAA titles, including Grand Theft Auto 6 and Borderlands 4, alongside ports of existing games like Indiana Jones and The Great Circle. Moreover, several downloadable content (DLC) expansions are planned for the year, including additions for Atomic Heart, Dave the Diver, and Rain World.
