At long last, our first PlayStation State of Play for 2025 is here. In recent months, PlayStation has been laying relatively low, which has only amplified questions about what its upcoming lineup of games for PS5 will look like this year. To this point, only titles like Death Stranding 2: On the Beach and Ghost of Yotei have been confirmed to arrive in 2025, which means that there’s still a lot of room left for PlayStation to fill in its release calendar. With that in mind, much of what is set to hit PS5 in the months ahead should be outlined in this new State of Play.
