Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart. God of War: Ragnarok. The Last of Us: Part I. Returnal, Horizon: Forbidden West, Gran Turismo 7, Demon’s Souls. It’s been a weird launch period for a new generation of consoles, but Sony has a solid little raft of killer exclusives under its belt at the moment.
Even if you’re not into the third-person, over-the-shoulder, hide-in-the-grass formula that many cinematic PlayStation blockbusters like to abide by, you cannot deny the quality of these titles. They’re big budget, glamorous, prestige games – interactive media’s version of Game of Thrones, Breaking Bad, or The Sopranos. The fact that Sony has more or less cornered this market over the past few generations is admirable, really. We just have to hope the platform holder doesn’t pigeon-hole itself and risk becoming something of a one-trick pony (even if that one trick is particularly stunning).
In 2023 and beyond, we’re going to see Sony and PlayStation lean even further into this blockbuster mentality with Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, Marvel’s Wolverine, and perhaps The Last of Us mysterious multiplayer game (whatever that ends up looking like). On top of that, there’s the curious multimedia/gaming partnership Sony is establishing with Bungie, which promises to give us more Destiny stuff, as well as new games, and god knows what else.
