In this week's Eurogamer Newscast, we discuss what 2025 holds for PlayStation 5, following last night's State of Play presentation. If you tuned in for exciting game reveals, you were certainly not disappointed. However, for those hoping to see more exclusive first-party PlayStation titles, it's clear that Sony's lineup is currently in a bit of a lull.
This presents an intriguing year for Sony's console, especially with Microsoft's cross-platform publishing strategy gaining momentum. Meanwhile, PlayStation is scaling back on several in-progress live-service projects. One bright spot from last night's showcase was the announcement of Saros, a new title from Returnal developer Housemarque, although it won't be released until 2026.
For 2025, it's expected that Bungie's Marathon will make its debut on PS5, along with other notable confirmed releases such as Death Stranding 2 and Ghost of Yotei. While Fairgame$ hasn’t been cancelled, and there’s still a chance we might see Marvel's Wolverine before 2026, these releases seem to be few and far between compared to Xbox's upcoming offerings. Titles like Age of Empires 2, Age of Mythology Retold, Forza Horizon 5, The Outer Worlds 2, Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, this year’s Call of Duty, and whatever else Xbox is planning to announce show a much busier year ahead for Microsoft's ecosystem, making PlayStation Studios' 2025 lineup feel comparatively quieter.
