This has led to a notable shortage of exclusive single-player titles on the console, raising concerns among fans.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Big Releases on the Horizon<\/h2>\n\n\n<p>Among the upcoming releases, Death Stranding 2 stands out, which will be exclusive to PS5 and is scheduled to launch soon. Another important game is Ghost of Yotei, set for October 2, 2025. However, not all anticipated titles will arrive in the short term; projects like <strong>Insomniac Games&#8217; Marvel&#8217;s Wolverine and other developments at Naughty Dog are still in early stages<\/strong>. Fans may have to wait some time before seeing these promising releases in action.<\/p>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Death Stranding 2: On the Beach - Tr\u00e1iler de reservas subtitulado en espa\u00f1ol  | PlayStation Espa\u00f1a\" width=\"840\" height=\"473\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/MT5m5NKtq-Q?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n<p>Sony&#8217;s strategy has faced criticism, especially after the cancellation of several games-as-a-service projects from studios like Bluepoint Games and Bend Studio. <strong>Naughty Dog also chose to halt development on The Last of Us Online to focus on creating high-quality narrative experiences<\/strong>. This decision underscores the importance the company places on single-player games, although recent cancellations have raised doubts about the future of certain studios within PlayStation.<\/p>\n\n\n<p>On the other hand, launches like Marathon and Fairgame$ are planned, scheduled for 2026, in an attempt to diversify the game offerings. <strong>Despite the cancellation of more than seven titles, Sony continues to bet on games as a service, indicating a clear intention to balance its catalog with titles of different kinds<\/strong>. With several projects in the works, patience seems to be the key for players in this transition phase.<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"sc-card-program\">\r\n  <div class=\"sc-card-program__body\">\r\n    <div class=\"sc-card-program__row clearfix\">\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-program__col-logo\">\r\n        <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"sc-card-program__img\" alt=\"PlayStation App\" src=\"https:\/\/images.sftcdn.net\/images\/t_app-icon-s\/p\/00be5b32-9b62-11e6-869c-00163ed833e7\/1288856595\/playstation-app-logo\" width=\"100px\" height=\"100px\">\r\n      <\/div>\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-program__col-title\">\r\n        <span class=\"sc-card-program__title\">PlayStation App<\/span>\r\n        <a class=\"sc-card-program__button sc-card-program-internal\" href=\"https:\/\/playstation-app.softonic.com\/android\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">DOWNLOAD<\/a>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-program__col-rating\">\r\n        <svg class=\"rating-score__content\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" version=\"1.1\" x=\"0\" y=\"0\" viewbox=\"0 0 50 50\" enable-background=\"new 0 0 50 50\" xml:space=\"preserve\"><path class=\"rating-score__background rating-score--good\" fill=\"none\" stroke-width=\"6\" stroke-miterlimit=\"10\" d=\"M40 40c8.3-8.3 8.3-21.7 0-30s-21.7-8.3-30 0 -8.3 21.7 0 30\"><\/path><path class=\"rating-score__value rating-score__value--0\" fill=\"none\" stroke-width=\"6\" stroke-dashoffset=\"0\" stroke-miterlimit=\"10\" d=\"M40 40c8.3-8.3 8.3-21.7 0-30s-21.7-8.3-30 0 -8.3 21.7 0 30\"><\/path><text class=\"rating-score__number\" content=\"\" text-anchor=\"middle\" transform=\"matrix(1 0 0 1 25 31.0837)\" data-auto=\"app-user-score\"><\/text><\/svg>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <div class=\"sc-card-program__row\">\r\n      <span class=\"sc-card-program__description\"><\/span>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <div class=\"sc-card-program__row\">\r\n      <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"sc-card-program__bigpic\" src=\"\" onerror=\"this.style.display='none'\">\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <a class=\"sc-card-program__link track-link sc-card-program-internal\" href=\"https:\/\/playstation-app.softonic.com\/android\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><\/a>\r\n  <\/div>\r\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hermen Hulst, CEO of PlayStation Studios, has confirmed that the company will release at least one flagship single-player game each year, starting in 2025.
