2025 PS5 Exclusive Game Lineup: What to Expect
It looks like slim pickings for PS5 owners in 2025, as Sony outlines launch plans for its first-party exclusives. According to a new business report, prepare for two major game releases: Death Stranding 2 on June 26, followed by Ghost of Yotei in October.
However, one of the most anticipated superhero games since Marvel’s Spider-Man won’t hit the shelves until at least April 2026. The excitement surrounding Marvel’s Wolverine continues to grow, but Sony has yet to confirm its availability during the upcoming financial year.
What Lies Ahead for Sony’s Game Releases
The PlayStation business report highlights that both Death Stranding 2 and Ghost of Yotei fall within this financial year, which concludes next April. In contrast, Marvel’s Wolverine and Naughty Dog’s Intergalactic are categorized as “Upcoming,” indicating they won’t launch until Financial Year 26 at the earliest.
What’s more concerning is that neither Wolverine nor Intergalactic has been officially confirmed for Financial Year 26, running from April 2026 until March 2027. Given that Marvel’s Wolverine was first announced back in 2021, expectations are high for a 2026 release, but patience is key.
As for Intergalactic, industry insider Jason Schreier casts doubt on its 2026 debut. He stated that last year’s reveal was merely an early tease, implying the game is not set for next year.
With this uncertainty, it becomes increasingly vital for Wolverine to grace the PS5 in 2026. Sony typically drops a blockbuster title in the autumn to maximize holiday sales, suggesting a likely September to November timeframe for our favorite superhero’s comeback.
Details on Marvel’s Wolverine remain scarce. What we do know is the game will showcase a mature tone, diverging from the lighter atmosphere of Spider-Man. Developer Insomniac Games is committed to leveraging the PS5 Pro’s capabilities, promising breathtaking visuals and enhanced frame rates.
Insomniac’s track record speaks for itself, boasting critically acclaimed titles like Spider-Man, Miles Morales, and Spider-Man 2. The studio has also delivered unforgettable experiences like Ratchet and Clank and Sunset Overdrive.
Additionally, Sony’s recent business report discussed potential price increases for its PlayStation Plus service, a move that might affect players’ wallets in the coming years.
