23 PlayStation Games to Look Forward to in 2023

Last year PlayStation outlined 22 new games coming to its platform. A fair chunk of them did indeed release on PS4 and PS5 in 2022, but a few titles have also made their way to the 2023 release lineup. If you’re wondering what games we have to look forward to on PlayStation consoles this year, Sony has released a similar list outlining 23 games we can play in 2023.

PlayStation release dates for 2023

Forspoken

Release date: January 24

Forspoken has been delayed more times than I can count, so let’s hope it sticks to its release date this time.

The game is a blend of fantasy action, magic, parkour and New York city charm. How those things all combine, I cannot tell you, but you can check out the demo on the PlayStation store now if you want to get a taste yourself.
