We’re four years into the PlayStation 5’s lifecycle, which means that we’ve likely hit the halfway point. Console generations tend to last around eight years these days, so it’s not impossible that we’ll get a PlayStation 6 by 2028. While it might seem way too early to start anticipating a far off console (and it is), the reality is that the groundwork for it is likely being laid as we speak. Large scale exclusives can take well over four years to produce, which means that some PS6 games could be in the works right this second.
Some of those games seem like foregone conclusions. We’ll likely see new games in the God of War and Horizon series, as well as new IP from studios like Housemarque. As for the rest? We already have some firm ideas about what games will land on Sony’s next console. That’s partially thanks to studio confirmation, leaks, and some good old fashioned common sense. Here our best guesses as to what we might be playing on a shiny new PlayStation by 2030.
Last year, developer Insomniac was the victim of a massive hack. The ransomware attack led to loads of sensitive information being leaked to the public, including tons of details about Marvel’s Wolverine. Among that pile of information was information on Insomniac’s entire development timeline through 2031. Thanks to that, we know four games likely slated for a PS6 release including one new IP and a new Ratchet and Clank game. The most obvious game on the list? Marvel’s Spider-Man 3, which is aiming for a 2028 launch. This is a no-brainer considering that Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 ends with several teases about its sequel, even confirming some villains. If its planned date holds up, this is the most likely contender for a launch game at the moment.
That’s not all from Insomniac. The leaks confirmed that the studio is currently working on a full X-Men game slated for 2030. That’ll serve as a follow up to Marvel’s Wolverine, which is expected to launch on PS5 by 2026.
