It’s rumoured that there will be at least some PS5 exclusives released this year from Sony, but it’s still unclear if that includes Concord.
Big in 2024: Here are six PS5 console exclusives that you won't want to miss this year.
Xbox on social. PlayStation has no games, yet PlayStation is the only company that has a day and date road map for all their exclusives. Side note, if it's on pc it's not exclusive.
Yeah they actually have release dates for anything we know about. Except Wolverine but that was a leak I think.
@Hereandthere
Yeah, you can trust Sony's day and date rosd map because Sony never has delayed games right?
What happened to buying 3rd party exclusives being bad for gamers and the industry? Its better to invest in your own studios. I love how the goal post move to fit a narrative.
Never forget this is N4G where Hypocrisy lives and thrives. Everything Sony does is cheered but when MS does it it's suddenly bad for gaming.
I remember hearing that for well over 10+ years now. 3rd party exclusives didn't count it HAD to be 1st party. I fully expected that narrative to change and here we are.
...what happened to it? Nothing did. It's still true. No goal post moved other than what you're imagination moves around for you.
3rd party exclusives are bad for gamers...doesn't affect the industry as whole much though. Buying up the 3rd party devs and making those games permanently exclusive...yeah thats way worse. No goal post has moved ..Xbox has simply enlarged the field to astronomical levels of shitty.
3rd party exclusives used to be as bad as it gets...as usual Xbox leads the pack with worst practices. They've made the worst thing look not as bad anymore compared to how shitty they can be.
@crows talk about being out of the loop on Twitter/X the PS fanboys are saying it's about 3rd party now. NOW they're upping the importance of third party. When in actuality it's always been important and always will be. Stating the obvious isn't imagination.
Those bad practices started with PS1 and 2. Even Nintendo did it with Sega back then. That practice has been happening for 30 years now.
Not for 3 generations 😂
Edit: did is article about Sony exclusive games, keep x out of it….
"Side note, if it's on pc it's not exclusive."
If you didn't ever own a gaming PC nor plan to get one either, and if you ever only played on a console, then a game that's being released exclusively for any console, fits the base line of "I can't get it on any other console".
In the independent area and market of home consoles, which has actually always existed independently of the PC, a game is console-exclusive, even if it is released for the PC.
That's some mental gymnastics there. The point of exclusive is to sell one platform as being necessary. The point otherwise is to have the ability to reach more of the market. PC is a market. You don't ignore it because it's not a console. In fact, it's the largest and more profitable market than any console. So, you put it there because you are reaching the largest audience outside of mobile.
Their exclusive enough that they won't be on Xbox, can't wait for Blade on PS5 though.
You're correct. Sony has less exclusives now then before....most however don't release day and date with PC but if you're willing to wait then all power to you.
Sony has already guaranteed I won't go purchasing the next PlayStation. I much prefer to game on PC and am very patient with games
“if it's on pc it's not exclusive”
PC is the Switzerland of the console wars. Whether a game is on PC is meaningless.
100% not how market reach works. This argument only works for people defending plastic.
@Ein They're exclusive enough not to be on Xbox? Are you really trying to change the rules that literally apply to both machines? I know you're weird but don't be that weird. Yeah no since bringing back the downplay narrative that Xbox has no exclusive because of PC now applies to PS full stop it goes both ways.
Can't wait for my free game from you when you lose that easy bet that Blade is only gonna be on Xbox and PC. You'll probably change your name or something when your wrong.
Too busy playing the Granblue Fantasy: Relink Demo and the Arknights: Endfield Tech test to bother with you today.
Can't wait to play Halo, Sea of Thieves and HiFi Rush on my PS5 too, 2027 gonna be playing all your former exclusives, Hype!
Blade gonna be way better on PS5 Pro than xbox!
Too much logic for you especially logic that gets thrown right back in your face but yeah have fun.

These aren't "my" exclusives I didn't make nor develop these games so I have no clue what you're talking about. Despite the fact that you're spouting nonesense. Nonesense you don't even believe at this point and is just for jokes and gags. It's funny to see those "mediocre" games anticipated by you and others now, suddenly. Regardless you can only hope and dream, the same hoping and dreaming that PS games hitting Nintendo or Xbox from those fanboys.
Why do people lack common sense?
1. Xbox wouldn't have any of these 1st party games if they didn't BUY the MULTIPLATFORM STUDIOS that are making them.
2. The studios that are making these ps exclusives are still FREE TO MAKE EXCLUSIVES FOR OTHER PLATFORMS.
SIMPLE. 🤯
Cruising in your car up the Pacific Coast Highway sounds like it could be fun in a game. I did this as a young kid up until my 20’s so at least it will offer some nostalgia but the premise of the game sounds interesting and different without the nostalgia.
Get a glimpse of the vibrant sci-fi universe of Concord launching in 2024.
yup, no clue - don't even know what to expect
Now if that was 30 seconds of Twisted Metal Black CGI I'd be a happy camper
I will never understand why publishers think a vague cg trailer is a good way to announce a new IP.
I don't think cg trailers should be a thing at this point at all, but at least it can work for something like MGS 3 remake, because simply knowing that it's real is somewhat exciting. With a new IP however, nobody knows what they're looking at.
Why even show a PvP title without gameplay? A single player game, you can get a gist for the story, the tone, things of that nature. That's what this felt like it was trying to do. But for PvP? It's almost worse than nothing. Truly confusing.
While Playing Kirby and The Forgotten Land, Hitbox Detective couldn't help but think about Astro. Could he be PlayStation's Kirby?
More like Mario than Kirby, no?
I think they should make this into a proper platformer series though.
The bundle in sample game was good but short. A full out game would compete with the likes of Crash and Mario, and with Crash soon belonging to Xbox and Mario belonging to Nintendo, PS needs a platformer icon & game.
Let’s hope they do this instead of the rumored Knack 3 😋
A full on non-vr platformer would be a lot better. I am not saying the game on PSVR was bad, far from it, it was excellent, but a full game not on VR would not only be better, it would also reach a lot more people.
Yep but VR isn’t mainstream. If you want a system platformer mascot/game like Mario or Crash (assuming Xbox fund new games), it has to be a normal game that more than 3-4% of the install base can experience.
@DarkZane
"I am not saying the game on PSVR was bad, far from it, it was excellent, but a full game not on VR would not only be better..."
You're saying a hypothetical game that doesn't exist would be better than an already highly rated game (90 on metacritic) as if it's a fact.
"If you want a system platformer mascot/game like Mario or Crash"
Yeah I'm not sure mascots have mattered much since PS1/2 days. Mario being the exception kinda seeing as Nintendo rely so heavily on him, but it didn't matter much when the PS4 didn't have a 'mascot', they still created memorable characters that stuck with people that weren't cartoonish platformer protagonists. Unless you count those characters as mascots too (I'm not sure of the exact definition), in which case Sony already have a few mascots.
Orchard - look at it this way. If new Astro content accompanies PSVR2, then he already is the best Sony mascot in ages. With every appearance, he heralds in a new hardware/peripheral era. Maybe a full-blown, flat screen platformer at PS6's launch?!
It doesn't have to be. Astro in VR is one of THE best experiences I've had in years (the bosses in particular were really innovative and fun).
Playroom was a good sampler and the Dualsense integration was really good.
Kirby's latest games have also been hit or miss....the new game is great, the previous one was beyond basic.
Kirby games are mostly (or all?) easy AFAIK as well. Shame, Mario is also now mostly the same way because of babies who need their hands held and can't handle a challenge.
Do we really need a mascot for our favorite platforms? This is all fine and dandy when the games are good, Anything Mario is usually pretty consistent, And for a while Sega was pretty consisitent with Sonic the Hedgehog, but if you recall, PlayStation used to tout Crash Bandicoot as its mascot, which was fine until the quality of the games started to decline and instead of getting consistently better it got consistently worse. You don't want a game that does poorly, representing your products. The system itself sells without needing a mascot that's console specific to help push your sales.
Just my opinion
This is by the legendary leaker Snitch. He has like a 90% accuracy rate.
This bit of news only makes sense. sony won't have any major first party games until next April and beyond. Astro Bot and Silent Hill 2 make sense for release. Still wondering if Concord releases this year.
Asides from Nintendo which are prepping for their next gen hardware, it's been kinda odd for sony and mcsft in terms of first party. 3rd party and indies have been kicking ass though.
New astro bot is fine by me. Still go back and play the tech demo every few months.
Honestly I'd just be happy if we could get a Sony show this year that shows us gameplay for Wolverine, Naughty Dog's new IP and Sucker Punch's game, whether it's a sequel to Ghost of Tsushima or a new IP and Bluepoint's new game. Housemarque released Returnal in 2021 which took a bit over 4 years to develop, so hopefully they'll be ready for an announcement soon of what they're working on. Bungie... we'll see.
However with Helldivers 2, Stellar Blade, Rise of the Ronin and Final Fantasy Rebirth, it hasn't exactly been a quiet or ineffective year while the first party's are keeping things hush.
Astrobot to me that's huge I hope it's both a flatscreen game and a VR game like gt7.
One of my favourite gaming experiences last gen was astro bot resuce mission on psvr it's almost criminal that more people never got a chance to experience the game it was one VR game that actually could have been ported to a flat screen experience with some minor control tweaks.
