Sony had an interesting 2024. While last year started off strong with hit games like Helldivers 2 and Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, there were also some big misses along the way. The failure of Concord is still fresh in everyone’s minds, Sony’s mandatory PSN sign-in requirements for its PC ports created an uproar, and its first-party offerings were slim when compared to previous years. So what can fans expect from Sony and PlayStation 5 more generally in 2025?
As usual, Sony is keeping quiet on its 2025 plans, but a few details have been revealed so far. While 2025 currently looks light on exclusives, Sucker Punch’s Ghost of Yotei looks like it could be the highlight of the year. Beyond that samurai adventure, we’re also hoping for updates on FairGame$, Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophecy, The Midnight Walk, and Marvel’s Wolverine, while Sony’s third-party partners could also surprise and delight PS5 owners if they confirm a 2025 release window for games like Death Stranding 2: On the Beach, Where Winds Meet, and of course, Grand Theft Auto 6. (You can see the full lineup of 2025 game releases across all platforms so far in our roundup.)
We’re also making an educated guess–or an educated wish–about what we’re expecting to see from Sony this year. From the games we know are coming to the ones we want updates on, a push into new media projects, and our wishlist items, here’s what PlayStation fans should be aware of as we head into the new year.
