PlayStation boss hints that exclusives will continue to appear for PS4

Kratos battles Thor in God of War Ragnarok!



God of War Ragnarök could be the last Sony exclusive to come out on PS4 and PS5 – but it doesn’t have to be.

The PS5 has actually been on the market for two years, but the nine-year-old PS4 is still being considered. At least new exclusive blockbusters like God of War Ragnarök usually appear for the old console. This could go on for a while, as Sony’s PlayStation boss Herman Hulst now explains in an interview with Axios.

PS4 and PS5: Sony does not want to rule out cross-gen releases in the future either

Decision on a case-by-case basis: Herman Hulst gives opposite axios It could well be that more crossgen titles will follow after God of War 2. At least he doesn’t want to rule that out. He does not name specific games, but Sony will evaluate this on a case-by-case basis.

The fans hope so, who already own a PS5, are of course hoping that Sony will finally leave the PS4 behind. At least the assumption is that new games cannot develop their full potential if they also have to run on the old hardware.

In contrast, there are the few PS5-exclusive titles like Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart. They show what is possible with the new hardware. The rapid changes between the game worlds in the platformer would not be possible on the PS4, they only work thanks to the fast PS5 SSD:

Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart is a must-have for PS5 owners

This is the rationale: According to Herman Hulst, Sony doesn’t want to leave the millions of PS4 owners back and forth. They shouldn’t be forgotten and make sure there are great games for them too.

The availability of the PS5 also plays a major role. At the moment there are still a lot more people who own a PS4 than a PS5. In view of the still disrupted supply chains, scarcity of resources, war and Corona, this is likely to improve only slowly.

First off, God of War: Ragnarok is coming in November, for both PS4 and PS5. Then we have to see further: Currently, Sony has officially only announced games for the PS5 beyond the year 2022, the PS4 was no longer mentioned. But that doesn’t necessarily mean it will stay that way.

Do you have a PS4 or a PS5 or both? Do you still want PS4 releases or PS5 exclusives?
