2023 was another great year for PlayStation with titles like Marvel's Spider-Man 2 and Final Fantasy XVI both meeting expectations and strengthening the PS5 lineup even further and new hardware hitting shelves with the release of PSVR2 and the PlayStation 5 Slim consoles late in November of 2023. This console generation feels as though PlayStation continue to just go from strength to strength and right now they're very far ahead of Xbox who once again had a relatively mediocre year but do have some great-looking titles scheduled for 2024. It is important to note that this year PlayStation have pretty much confirmed we won't see any of their first-party games like your God of War, Spider-Man, and Last of Us type releases but there is still plenty of exclusives on the slate as you'll see in this list.
2024 when it comes to PlayStation right now is also looking to have some banger titles exclusive to the console (if there aren't too many delays) with titles like Helldivers 2 and Final Fantasy VII Rebirth already getting a tonne of love early in the year with more titles like Rise of the Ronin and Silent Hill 2 Remake coming later on. If you don't already own a PlayStation 5 console now is a great time to pick one up, the exclusive catalogue is getting more and more stacked as the years go on and now the Slim version of the PS5 is readily available with some solid deals floating around.
In this article, we're going to be looking forward to the biggest PlayStation exclusives of 2024 listed in chronological order (alphabetical if no release date yet) including timed pure exclusives and console exclusives that are also releasing on PC.

Silent Hill 2 is an absolute classic when it comes to survival horror and the remake is currently in development. By using Unreal Engine 5 developer Blooper Team wants to bring the horror and despair invoked by the original into the current generation releasing on both PS5 and PC. At this point, we've only seen the cinematic trailer and we can't wait to see more of the gameplay and potentially what changes Blooper Team could be looking to make. Hoping they can do the classic justice here as we join back up with James Sunderland.
Death Stranding 2
Release Date: TBA
Developer: Kojima Productions
Publisher: Sony Interactive Entertainment
Genre: Action, Adventure
Trailer: Death Stranding 2 Teaser Trailer - YouTube
The story of Sam Porter Bridges will be continuing with Death Stranding 2 which currently doesn't have a release date but here's hoping it could be in 2024. Little is known about the sequel at this point with Hideo Kojima only showing us a teaser trailer back in 2022. Death Stranding 2 will be exclusive to PS5 at release but may see a PC release later on. All we know right now is that Norman Reedus, Léa Seydoux and Troy Baker will all be a part of the cast for the sequel.
Ghost of Yōtei
Release Date: TBC
Developer: Sucker Punch Productions
Publisher: Sony Interactive Entertainment
Genre:Stealth, Action-adventure
Trailer: Ghost of Yotei Announcement Trailer - Youtube
Ghost of Tsushima was one of the best PlayStation 5 exclsuive titles of the past, so much so Sucker Punch are coming back with Ghost of Yōtei - a standalone sequel to the 2020 hit. This time the game is set in 1603 in Hokkaido, Japan, and players will control Atsu, a female warrior who adopts the persona of "The Ghost". We don't know much else about Ghost of Yōtei yet, but the developers have said that players will have more control over Atsu's narrative and choices compared to Ghost of Tsushima.
Fairgames$
Release Date: TBC
Developer: Haven Interactive Studios
Publisher: Sony Interactive Entertainment
Genre: Shooter
Trailer: Fairgames$ CGI Trailer - YouTube
Fairgames$ is a competitive heist game something akin to the Payday series but with a PVP spin where you and your fellow thieves must compete against others to get the most loot possible. Not much else is known about this title and we've not seen any actual gameplay yet just a CGI trailer that shows the general premise of the game. Releasing on PC and PS5, no set date.
Marathon
Release date: TBC
Developer: Bungie
Publisher: Sony Interactive Entertainment
Genre: First-Person Shooter, Extraction Shooter
Trailer: Marathon Trailer - YouTube
Bungie is returning to its roots by rebooting the Marathon series but now as an extraction shooter. In their push to have more games as a service, Sony leaned on experts Bungie and they're coming out with Marathon. Extraction shooters like Hunt Showdown & Escape from Tarkov are very popular and it makes sense that Bungie would want to have a crack at the genre.
Marathon oozes style from its trailer and you can work solo or in a crew of three to survive against other plays in a hostile environment. If other extraction shooters are anything to go off I'd imagine you need to grab gear/loot and simply try to get out with as much as possible. We're yet to see any gameplay of Marathon and Bungie doesn't seem quite ready to share more yet but we'll be here when they are. A release date has also not been shared as of yet but the game will be on both PS5 and PC and feature full cross-play at release.
Phantom Blade Zero
Release Date: TBA
Developer: S-Game
Publisher: S-Game
Genre: Action, RPG
Trailer: Phantom Blade Zero Announce Trailer - YouTube
Phantom Blade Zero is a fast combat Action RPG from Chinese Developer S-Game who also made Rainblood; a franchise that never made it over to the West but was extremely popular in China. Phantom Blade Zero is the game they've always wanted to make and is taking advantage of Unreal Engine 5 moving on from their humble beginnings on RPG Maker. You can read more about this on the PlayStation blog with a great article from the CEO of S-Game.
In Phantom Blood Zero you'll play as Soul an elite assassin who serves an organisation known as "The Order", however, you have been framed for the murder of the org's leader and are now being hunted down. You must discover who framed you and why. The combat in this title looks insanely fast from the trailers, with incredibly smooth traversal as you slice through enemies. If this game can live up to what they've shown in trailers this could be an exceptional title. We have no set release date yet but the game will be released on PS5 and PC.
So there you have our list of some of the much-anticipated games releasing exclusively on PlayStation in 2024 and beyond. We're sure more games will be released this year and more concrete release date information is available. It's interesting to see that all of the titles on this list now are just PS5 exclusives and the PS4 is now being left behind, have you upgraded to the PS5 yet? If so did you think it was worth it? Let us know below what you're looking forward to playing this year on PlayStation and if there are any titles you think we should add to this list.
