The latestState of Playwas packed with surprises, several confirmations, and, just as importantly, the debunking of various rumors.
The rumored remaster of the first God of War games, a Hellblade 2 port, or even GTA 6 were all absent from the presentation. Not even Death Stranding 2, which seemed like a sure bet, made an appearance.
However, what the State of Play did confirm is that the PS5’s catalog this year will feature more games from the competition than exclusive Sony titles.
The latestState of Playintroduced new PS5 exclusives, but most of them are not set to launch this year.
Saros, the impressive game from Housemarque, is set for a 2026 release. Tides of Annihilation has an even less certain timeframe, with the only confirmation being that it is “in development for PS5.”

And that’s without counting potential additional surprises, such as the rumoredHellblade 2 portand possible versions ofHalo: The Master Chief CollectionandFlight Simulator.
Even the newAvowedis expected to launch on PS5, as the game’s director accidentally revealed.
It’s a paradoxical situation that could change if PlayStation announces more release dates for this year. However, many believe that the wave of live-service game cancellations is the reason behind this “drought”—a situation that is being eased thanks toXbox’s multiplatform strategy.
