When Will Sony Reveal Major PS5 Games For 2025 and 2026? Analyzing the PlayStation Showcase Problem

With the recent State of Play and Summer Game Fest shows wrapping up, we now know what Sony has planned for the remainder of 2024. And indeed, we do have a number of PS5 games that already came out, and are planned to come out this Holiday season. But there's still a lot of questions the PlayStation community has for Sony, especially after such a strong showing from Microsoft with the Xbox Games Showcase. So let's discuss where Sony is at now, and why they haven't made these announcements yet. And then after that I'm gonna go to bed. It's actually kinda late right now.

I think there's an elephant in the room we aren't touching on: game development is taking far too long. I wouldn't campaign for devs to crunch to get games out but there's a level of unsustainability being reached where games are taking as long as a console generation to produce, sometimes longer. That is not something that can keep happening if the industry wants to thrive

[robzo]

Xbox showcase felt like a nostalgia of E3

[wmv]

I miss 3-4 year game dev. Franchise entries now either happen once a generation or happen at the beginning and end of the gen, where they are potentially limited by the previous hardware because of cross-gen.

[yuzurihamoon]

I miss the days when you can get all the Uncharted and Resistance trilogies and 2 Killzone games within only one generation. None of these games are 100+ hours long open world thing and they don't need that inflated playtime to justify their price tag. A solid 20 or 30 hour long campaign with replayability like RE4 or Dark Souls is more than enough to keep the players happy. AAA Games these days just take too long to make and also too long to finish, which in my opinion is a waste of time for both the developers and the players.

[griffinkeiser]

Bro they seriously need to have a major showcase that Xbox showcase was wild

[tuttifuknfruity]

Jeez, after reading some of these comments I feel like I'm one of the few with an excessive back log of games I need to get to. Not too worried about new games getting or not getting announced when there is plenty of great games to currently play. Be patient ppl

[gurulaghima]

we are all waiting for the game of the generation

destruction all stars 2

[naturalfitness-]

Xbox showcase gave me E3 vibes for some reason. Geoff shows feel soulless

[semmutalindwa]

In like November 2024, and the games won’t be out until September October and November 2025 so we’re gonna be spending all of 2025 waiting for games in the fall.

[boomboominroom]

We just want a roadmap. Nowadays with how devs have access to communicate with their fans, we would expect some news. Waiting 5-6 to hear anything feels like we’re kinda are left high and dry.

[curryking]

I prefer showcases to show what is coming now not in 10 years honestly, that ff7 remake thing was yearssss before it actually came out in 2020 and only part of the game

[dremettbrown]

$300m budget with 5+ development years is getting rough for “one and done.”

[enjoygaming-xu]

For me, the showcases are completely unimportant, it is more important to me that PlayStation has regular first party game releases. I don't want shows or stare pf plays, I want regular new game releases

[JamesScholes]

Gamers wanted Sony to stop showcasing their games that was years away from release.

Sony did that and now gamers are annoyed 🤣

[PureReluctance]

I've never been so early before on any video

34 seconds damn

[davidmchugh]

Ok Ryan but what about PS5 Pro Launching this holiday season? You can’t expect to launch $500-600 systems without some new games to show off. That is exactly why Showcase is highly likely for September or earlier.

[alonzor.]

Compared to the Xbox showcase, the PlayStation State of Play was anemic.

[cunus]

Housemarque, Bend and Naughty Dog are the studios I'm most interested in. It's been five years since Days Gone so I would imagine Bend will announce something later this year or early next year.

[Kivancli]

too much remakes, remasters, re-releases whatnot ...

[WannabeGD]

That XBox showcase was great. A lot of exclusive games that I personally am interested in, although I haven't owned a XBox since the 360. Sony spent way too long working on live service games instead of focussing on what they are great at. I just hope we get through this drought of AAA singeplayer games.
