At Tech4gamers, I cover all sorts of gaming news. Whether it’s a leak of any upcoming game or an update, an announcement, or a rumour, I like to write about it all. Over the weekend, I sit and write features where I talk about games that I miss or want to see return.

The PlayStation business has always been at its best when releasing games that set the bar for everyone else. While Sony’s biggest studios haven’t done much this year, it seems the gaming giant remains firm on following this approach.

The company has recently stated that there are plans to consistently and continuously release hit games one after another.

Why it matters: PlayStation has yet to share a roadmap for the future, so this claim is quite interesting.

PlayStation’s latest earnings FY 2024 call outlined the company’s ambitions going forward. It has been stated that PlayStation Studios plans to release the same big games fans have come to love and expect.

The Studio Business Group is strengthening its development schedule management and optimizing development projects to consistently and continuously release hit titles.

Not only this, but the report further stated that the company is working on maintaining and expanding the active PlayStation users while also working on user engagement.

However, PlayStation’s goals could be thwarted by the rising budgets and development timelines of modern AAA productions. Perhaps the gaming giant will turn toward more AA releases like Helldivers 2 for consistent output in the future.

Smaller games like Astro Bot have been quite well-received recently, so it seems a mixture of big and smaller titles is the best option moving forward.

Elsewhere, Sony confirmed that the PS5 has sold more than 61 million units already. It continues to dominate the competition as the best-selling home console.

The next year is said to be quite exciting for PlayStation. Ghost of Tsushima 2 is almost certainly expected to arrive in 2025, and Insomniac might also have new Spider-Man content to offer.

Hopefully, studios like Naughty Dog and Santa Monica are prepared to share new looks at their future projects too, making for an exciting time for all PlayStation fans.
