Sony Reiterates Major PS5 First-Party Games Will Launch in 2025, Anticipates High Performance | Push Square
Sony enjoyed a record-breaking holiday with PS5, but it believes business could improve even further as it edges towards a new fiscal year.
As part of its financial presentation, it reiterated that major first-party titles Death Stranding 2: On the Beach and Ghost of Yotei are slated to release this year.
Huge numbers after a massive quarter
You may recall there was a hullaballoo last year when the company said it wasn’t plotting any major exclusives for 2024, which was a little misconstrued. Effectively it meant that it didn’t have anything on the scale of Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 or God of War Ragnarok in its roster, despite releasing the critically acclaimed Astro Bot.
Sony does consider the aforementioned sequels from Kojima Productions and Sucker Punch to be massive releases, however, and it’s predicting a monumental year for PS5 with other important third-party titles planned.
Speaking to investors, bigwig Hiroki Totoki said: “As for the next fiscal year (April 2025 to March 2026), first-party [and] third-party, we expect very good titles coming out. So, we have a high expectation for the performance of the next fiscal year.”
It’s possible, with potential price adjustments, Sony could perform even better next Christmas – especially if GTA 6 makes it to market on time. There’ll be other upcoming games we don’t yet know about as well, so a huge year awaits.
