The “ps5 exclusive games 2021” is a list of upcoming PlayStation Exclusive titles. The list includes the likes of God of War, Days Gone, and more.

As a result, the year 2021 comes to an end, clearing the way for the year 2022. Putting aside, y’know, practically everything else that’s been going on in the world recently, gaming has had a very good few years. There have already been a slew of big-name titles that have pushed the frontiers of gameplay and graphics design, and 2022 is expected to be no different. It doesn’t seem like the world will ever stop being its… lovely self, therefore there’s still time for more wonderful games. Here are some of the most anticipated PlayStation exclusive games for 2022.

Before we get started, it’s important to note that when we say “PlayStation Exclusive,” we mean that these games are only accessible on the PlayStation 4 and/or PlayStation 5, while some of them will be released on PC as well, either simultaneously or later. It’s a good thing Sony is loosening up on their license policies. Anyway, let’s go to the games.

upcoming PlayStation exclusive games in 2022

8 February 2022 – Sifu

“Don’t fear the guy who knows 1,000 methods; fear the one who has practiced one technique 1,000 times,” warned the late Bruce Lee. Martial arts isn’t something you can learn in a day; it requires years of practice and devotion. Of course, when you’re in a life-or-death street brawl, you don’t have much time on your hands, so you have to utilize every tactic you can think of.

In Sifu, you’ll be pitted against an infinite stream of opponents, with nothing but your fists and wits to depend on. When you’re knocked unconscious in battle, your magical necklace will restore your youth at the expense of your youth. This may be good at first since you’ll become older and stronger, but as you get older and older, your strength will wane. To become a light-speed master, you’ll need to master your methods swiftly and effectively.

Horizon Forbidden West will be released on February 18, 2022.

Horizon Zero Dawn was the hot ticket item when it came to games that really showcased the PlayStation 4’s processing prowess. Sony didn’t mess around when it came to next-gen technology, as seen by its enormous, rich setpieces inhabited with giant mechanical fauna.

Sony is ready to recreate that enchantment once again with Horizon Forbidden West, this time on a grander scale because to the PlayStation 5’s strength. Join Aloy as she travels to places seldom visited by humans in quest of clues to the planet’s impending doom. There will still be beautiful surroundings, but they will be joined by spectacular dynamic environments and events, ranging from violent rainstorms to much larger and meaner beasts.

Gran Turismo 7 will be released on March 4, 2022.

I’ve never been a big fan of stock car racing, but the recent success of Microsoft’s Forza Horizon 5 has shown that it will always have a place in gamers’ hearts. Sony, of course, isn’t content to let Microsoft have all the fun, so they’ve released a new episode in their own high-speed racing game.

Gran Turismo 7 is said to be the peak of Sony’s long-running Real Driving Simulator franchise. The game will have a number of modes to cater to a wide range of gamers, from competitive multiplayer fans to solitary Sunday drives. One of the biggest draws is the reintroduction of GT Simulation Mode, which was initially featured in the first Gran Turismo. You may play a solitary campaign career in this mode, purchasing, selling, and customizing your vehicles to achieve on-track excellence and take that last lap.

May 25, 2022 – Forspoke

In recent years, those of us in geeky circles have been intimately acquainted with a certain narrative trope: the Isekai, which is Japanese for “other world.” An Isekai is a narrative in which a character is plucked from one world and thrown into another to go on a tremendous adventure. Have you ever read Dante’s Inferno? It’s a well-known archetype. That is the earliest Isekai that has ever been written.

Frey Holland, the protagonist of Forspoken, is our Isekai victim for 2022. Frey is abducted from her home in New York City and thrown in the kingdom of Athia, which is now under the control of a wicked witch. Frey quickly becomes Athia’s final chance of escape as she races over enormous, ruined landscapes and fights back with a mix of spellcasting and home-grown parkour abilities, armed with a magical sentient bracelet dubbed “Cuff.”

TBD 2022 – God of War Ragnarok

Our hero Kratos has a knack for checking off celestial pantheons. The man attempts to settle down and have a family, but he keeps being knocked on the door by salty gods itching for a battle. On the plus side, he’s accompanied by his son Atreus, so a trip to pick a battle with the whole Norse pantheon also serves as a family vacation!

God of War Ragnarok picks off where the last God of War left off, with Kratos and Atreus voyaging across the Nine Realms in pursuit of knowledge about Loki’s Prophecy and the end-of-days it will bring about. Kratos is armed to the teeth with his axe, shield, and swords, and there will be plenty of new weapons to discover as the two explore the exotic vistas of realms beyond their own.

TBD 2022 – Ghostwire: Toky

Because Japanese mythology is replete with interesting ideas and people, it creates a perfect backdrop for tales with supernatural elements. You could fill an entire library with material on Japan’s different spirits, gods, and yokai, which would likely come in handy if they attacked Tokyo unexpectedly.

When a deranged cultist abducts Tokyo’s entire population and replaces them with malicious yokai, a young man called Akito develops strange talents that straddle the spiritual and supernatural realms. Akito will need to use these skills to volunteer as a Ghostbuster, chasing out bad spirits using a mix of martial arts and spiritualism. Since its announcement in 2019, this game has been in a strange development stage, but the developers are dead keen on releasing it in 2022.

There you have it: six PlayStation exclusive games set to release in 2022. As we come closer to the official release dates, we’ll keep you updated.

The “playstation exclusives” are the upcoming games that Sony will release exclusively on their platform. There are currently no titles announced for 2022, but it is likely that there will be some in the near future.
