Sony’s PlayStation 5 has received many impressive exclusives since launch, and 2023 will bring with it even more exciting new-generation games. Sony’s latest console launched worldwide in 2020 with exciting features like a high-speed solid-state drive and a graphics processing unit capable of achieving 4K resolution at 120 frames per second. The power of the PlayStation 5 is hard to deny, and brand-new exclusive titles will take full advantage of that technology next year.
Many of the best PlayStation exclusive games of 2022 arrived on both the PS4 and PS5, allowing Sony to deliver breathtaking experiences to new-generation gamers while still catering to their large market of last-gen players. Most of Sony’s biggest releases this year, like God of War Ragnarok and Horizon Forbidden West, arrived simultaneously on the PS4 and PS5 but still made full use of the newer platform’s greater internal power and signature DualSense controller. However, The Last of Us: Part 1 was also able to fully demonstrate the PS5’s power by remaking the PS3 classic specifically for Sony’s most modern hardware.
2023 Will Introduce Many PlayStation 5 Exclusives

While Sony’s new-generation console has been notoriously hard to come by since launch, reports suggest that fans may finally get a PS5 in 2023. This will give Sony the freedom to release more titles exclusively on the new-generation console, rather than splitting them between the PS5 and the less powerful PS4. Final Fantasy 16 will release as a timed PlayStation 5 exclusive, and the console will also receive a number of PlayStation VR 2 launch titles like Horizon Call of the Mountain and The Dark Pictures: Switchback VR. Highly anticipated first-party games, like Insomniac Games’ Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, will also add to the PlayStation 5’s growing collection of exclusive blockbusters throughout 2023.
