According to the video, Bethesda’s Ghostwire: Tokyo is scheduled for an October release. The mysterious game is going to be a PS5 exclusive at launch despite Microsoft’s acquisition of Bethesda.

Square Enix’s Project Athia is scheduled for a 2022 launch. Details on the game are still mostly unknown, but it’s being developed by the same team that was behind Final Fantasy XV.

Several high profile indie games appear in the fine print as well. Stray, a game about a cat that surprised fans during a Sony State of Play event, is coming in October 2021. Solar Ash, the latest game from the developers behind Hyper Light Drifter, is coming in June 2021. Kena: Bridge of Spirits is coming this March, while Little Devil Inside launches in July.

The video confirmed some big delays as well. The text notes that Capcom’s sci-fi game Pragmata is scheduled for 2023, despite originally being slated as a 2022 game.

Curiously, Ratchet & Clank: Drift Apart only receives a vague 2021 launch window in the text. In a similar bit of video fine print last year, Sony said the game was anticipated to launch in the first half of 2021. The change in language could indicate that the game is delayed.

PS4 vs. PS5: which console should you buy in 2024?
PlayStation 5 controller and PS5.

PlayStation 5 has been available for several years now, and it's easier than ever to find it in stock at retailers. The new-gen hardware makes big upgrades over its predecessor, letting gamers enjoy better graphics, shorter loading times, and support for the fancy DualSense controller. It's also much more expensive than PS4, so while PS5 is better than PS4 in most regards, it might not be ideal for frugal shoppers.

But is PS4 or PS5 the better choice in 2024? Does the aging PS4 really make sense to purchase right now, or should you opt for the PS5? From pricing and available games to storage and resolution, here's a closer look at these two popular consoles.
PS5 vs. PS4 vs. PS4 Pro specs
Even a cursory glance at the specs of the PS5 shows that it’s in a different league than the PS4 (and even the PS4 Pro). Sony has improved the capabilities of its platform in every way, adding more efficient storage, faster compute parts, support for larger capacity disks, and support for higher resolutions. We know there are two versions of the PS5 -- the Standard Edition and Digital Edition -- both of which will offer the same specs (with the exception of the omission of a disc drive with the Digital Edition).
