Sony to Release Major Single-Player PS5 Games Annually
Sony confirms its commitment to single-player titles, planning yearly releases starting April 2025 amid live-service game challenges.
- Sony Interactive Entertainment plans to release at least one major single-player game annually from fiscal year 2025.
- Upcoming titles include 'Ghost of Yotei,' a sequel to 'Ghost of Tsushima,' and 'Death Stranding 2: On the Beach.'
- The strategy follows the disappointing performance of the live-service game 'Concord,' which led to its shutdown.
- Sony aims to balance its game portfolio by combining successful single-player IPs with live-service games.
- Despite fewer first-party releases in 2024, 'Astro Bot' achieved significant success, selling over 1.5 million copies.
