Want to know what’s coming to your PlayStation platform of choice in 2015? Sony has published an absolutely massive list of everything currently scheduled to arrive on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3, and PS Vita over the course of 2015. The list comes with the caveat that development schedules are liable to change, and parts of the list could be rendered inaccurate without warning, but Sony intends to keep the info updated.

The year got off to a strong start with exciting new titles and revisited classics making their way to new platforms. Saints Row IV: Re-Elected brings Volition’s hyperbolically silly take on open world games like Grand Theft Auto. Life is Strange launched with its first episode, following in the footsteps of Telltale Games, whose Game of Thrones series is now two episodes in. Grim Fandango and Duke Nukem 3D both came to Vita, allowing a whole new generation of gamers to experience these ’90s classics.

Coming up, The Order: 1886 finally hits PS4 on February 20, followed soon thereafter by Dragon Ball Xenoverse, Dynasty Warriors 8, and Resident Evil Revelations 2. Battlefield Hardline reaches its delayed release in March, along with the Dark Souls spiritual successor Bloodbourne and the remastered Borderlands: The Handsome Collection. Announced dates drop off in the following months, but fans of brutal action have plenty to look forward to in the spring and summer with Mortal Kombat X, The Witcher III, Batman: Arkham Knight, and The Elder Scrolls Online.

Lastly, some of the most anticipated games on the list don’t yet have dates more specific than 2015. No Man’s Sky by Hello Games promises to be one of the largest and most sophisticated space sandboxes ever. Ratchet & Clank reinvents Insomniac’s classic platformer for the new console. Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End returns to Nathan Drake and the adventure saga that helped put PS3 on the map.

Check out the whole list over on PlayStation Blog. Which games are you most excited for on PlayStation this coming year?

I was a PlayStation Portal hater. Now it’s one of my go-to gaming devices

A PlayStation Portal plays Marvel's Spider-Man 2.

In November, I reviewed the PlayStation Portal. I was mixed on Sony’s streaming handheld at the time, frustrated with a corner-cutting execution of a good idea. It seemed like a poor value compared to simply slapping a cheaper Backbone controller on a phone. As is often the case with tech reviews, though, I only had a short window to test it out where I was more focused on the more objective side of what the Portal does and doesn’t do. Would my feelings change when I was using it naturally?

I’ve gotten the answer to that question over the past few months. While I barely touched my Portal after reviewing it in 2023, it’s quickly become a go-to device in my home as of January. I’m now breaking it out at least once a week, finding some practical use cases for it. Though my overall assessment of it hasn’t changed, I have a more tangible understanding of where it can be a useful -- if superfluous -- PS5 companion. It’s a needless luxury, but one that I’m finding that I'm happy to indulge in.

The PlayStation Portal’s launch just so happened to come right before a major life change that would shift my perspective. After living alone for three years, my girlfriend moved into my apartment last December. It’s been a natural change that’s working great so far. That shift does come with some lifestyle changes, though. We’re both crammed into a one-bedroom apartment, which means we’re sharing a tight space. We remotely do our jobs feet apart in the same room, and most evenings are spent lounging on the couch.

With the rise of all-digital consoles, more and more people are doing a majority of their game shopping on digital storefronts. For PlayStation 5 owners, whether you have a disk drive or not, you more than likely have at least a couple of games purchased from the PlayStation Store. The convenience of simply downloading a game and not having to worry about the disk is great, but you also can catch some amazing deals. The biggest sales events come seasonally, and the current Spring Sale is offering deep discounts of up to 90% on some of the biggest games on the platform. If you've been waiting to pick up one of the great games you missed earlier this year or in years past, now might be the best time to snag it for cheap!
When is the PlayStation Spring Sale 2024?
The PlayStation Spring Sale started on March 27, 2024, but new deals were added on April 10 that will last until April 24.

If any deal is exclusively for a PS5 version of a game that is also on PS4, we will note that beside the title. Since all PS4 games run on PS5, we won't mark PS4 games.

All upcoming PS5 games: 2024 and beyond

Eve kneeling with her sword.

The PlayStation 5 has been out for some time now, and its reception has been mostly positive. It includes lots of quality-of-life improvements over its predecessor, the PlayStation 4, such as faster load times, a solid-state drive (SSD) instead of a regular hard disk drive (HDD), and an improved controller in the form of the new DualSense. However, a console is only as good as the games available on it, and thankfully, the PS5 has you covered on that front as well.

While the machine already has a worthy library of great PS5 games, there are even more to look forward to, with some releasing as soon as this month, while others are still years away. In the video game world, it's not uncommon to be aware of games that are still several years out from release. It's also normal for a new game to be revealed and launched within just a couple of months. In this comprehensive list, we'll go through the major PS5 releases scheduled for 2023 and speculate on future games.
