After a massive couple of years, PlayStation’s plans for the 12 months ahead are potentially the most mysterious in recent memory. After a handful of first-party or third-party exclusives in the front part of the year there’s really no telling what Sony has cooking for PlayStation players for the rest of 2024.
Still, that’s not to say there aren’t a bunch of exciting PlayStation exclusive titles on the way, whether that’s wholly PS5/PS4 exclusive or shared with the folks playing on PC. To that end, we’ve started compiling a list of what’s to come For The Players (take a look at the Nintendo Switch equivalent here, Xbox to come soon) that should be on your radar.
And of course, there are some titles that could launch in 2024 but haven’t confirmed as much yet. Games like Lost Soul Aside, Phantom Blade Zero and Sword of the Sea, or if you’re being especially hopeful – perhaps even something like Death Stranding 2. We’ll continue to update this list as we learn more.
