Will PS4 Get Games in 2023?
As we approach the new year, gamers are eagerly wondering what the future holds for the PlayStation 4. Specifically, the question on everyone’s mind is: Will PS4 get games in 2023?
The answer, fortunately, is a resounding yes. While the PS5 is grabbing all the attention, Sony has committed to continuing to support the PS4 well into the future. Here’s why you should keep playing – and possibly buying – new games for the PS4 in 2023:
What Kind of Games Can You Expect?
While we’ve seen many of the major franchises (e.g., God of War, The Last of Us, etc.) switch to the PS5, there are still plenty of new titles to look forward to on the PS4. These games span various genres, including:
• Indie games
• Sports titles
• Children’s games
• Budget-friendly alternatives to big-name releases
• Older, but still enjoyable, franchises
Check out these titles to be released in 2023:

Who’s Developing Games for the PS4?
Companies like Ubisoft, Electronic Arts, Activision, and Bandai Namco Entertainment are continuing to release titles for the PS4 in 2023. Other indie developers, like Limited Run Games, are also working on exclusives. Keep an eye out for new studios partnering with major publishers, such as THQ Nordic.
Support for Existing Titles
Another important consideration: Sony still supports older titles, updating them regularly and releasing fresh content for your favorite franchises. Games like Until Dawn: Rush of Blood (an Until Dawn spin-off) and Until Dawn 2: The Origin Story may see continued development.
Will You Keep Your PS4 Up-to-Date?
Considering the significant price drop in recent times, maintaining an updated console can make a lot of sense, even if the PS5 becomes your go-to gaming option. After all:
- Digital game savings: Buying older titles for cheaper, avoiding physical games or used ones
- New hardware capabilities: Get the performance and speed needed for recent releases
As we welcome 2023, here’s to seeing many new games release on the PlayStation 4 and continuing adventures for you in the virtual world.
