PS5 Exclusive Titles
Transitioning to a new console generation is always a bit challenging. On the one hand, making a game for both PS4 and PS5 is time-consuming for developers and holds back the game’s potential due to previous-gen hardware restraints.
On the other, only making games for the PS5 obviously makes it impossible for anyone that doesn’t have one to play these exclusive titles. If Sony is able to meet the previous resolution of making their next-gen console even more available in 2022, then people will have the option of purchasing a PS5 in order to play its exclusives. While change is obviously hard and scary, exclusives like Returnal and Demon Souls have proved that the improved visuals and smooth performance that come with the PS5 are totally worth it.
Currently, there are only seven PS5 exclusive titles (not counting remasters). The only two big named games slated as PS5 exclusives currently for 2022 are Forspoken and Ghostwire: Tokyo. If Sony really wants to take advantage of the next-gen power of the console, Sony games in the vein of God of War: Ragnarok and Horizon Forbidden West should consider leaving the PS4 behind going forward.
Here is to hoping that titles that may come out in 2022 can help push PS5 exclusivity a little more this year.
