PS5: Sony says real next-gen games shouldn’t arrive for a little while

With the exception of the Demon’s Souls remake, we can’t say that the PS5 is drowning in next-gen games. However, after having spent 499 € (if you opt for the model equipped with the UHD Blu-ray player) and probably invested in a state-of-the-art 4K television, the owners of the console no doubt want to be amazed. – not to mention the features of the DualSense. Unfortunately, we will have to be patient. We are not saying it, but Jim Ryan, the current boss of Sony Interactive Entertainment.

“History shows that it’s not until the second or third year that developers find their feet, he explained to TASS. Typically, they need some time to familiarize themselves with the console. As a result, it is only from 2022 that you will see magnificent games, in the same way that it was not until 2015-2016 for the previous generation.“As a reminder, the Xbox One and the PS4 were released in 2013.

While full of common sense, this statement may nonetheless cringe some teeth. She also recalls that the industry is not going to cut itself off from the Xbox One and the PS4 overnight for obvious economic reasons. Clearly, as long as the developers make the big gap between the two generations, it will probably be difficult for games to take full advantage of the Xbox Series X / S and the PS5. In any case, as far as third-party studios are concerned.
