Last year, PlayStation previewed 23 games we could expect on its consoles (coz it was 2023, get it?). Now that it’s 2024, they’ve provided a similar list for the PS5, although with a slightly lower number, considering the video game slate is looking less hectic than last year. Still, there’s plenty to look forward to on PlayStation 5 in 2024, so let’s check out what’s coming down the pipe.
