Want evidence that the generation is winding down and the world is waiting for Sony to reveal more about the PlayStation 5? There are currently only five games available to pre-order from the PlayStation Store. Those titles are: The Last of Us: Part II, Ghost of Tsushima, Marvel’s Avengers, Cyberpunk 2077, and Wasteland 3. The InXile Entertainment role-playing game isn’t even available in Europe, meaning there are just four upcoming titles open to pre-purchase.
This will no doubt change as the year goes on and new titles get announced; Assassin’s Creed Valhalla will surely be made available for digital pre-order shortly, and the next round of sports titles should be confirmed imminently. Nevertheless, the PS Store has historically played host to dozens upon dozens of pre-order options, so it’s strange to see the release schedule so thin.
Publishers are clearly waiting for the PS5 to be properly unveiled, with events set to take place all through the summer. It’s anticipated that Sony will open up in late May or early June, although we’re year to hear any firm plans from the platform holder yet.

And for obvious reasons four of them are pre ordered for me.
yeah i think that TLOU and GOT will be my last ps4 games.
i'm planning on getting AC valhalla on ps5.
I am quite okay waiting till black Friday to play TLOU 2 and Ghost of Tshushima.
Backlog is still huge (Just finished shadow of the tomb and now onto Control)
No biggie. I've got a 2 years-worth-of-gaming backlog that I'm slowly chipping away at. By the time I'm done with it the PS5 and some great games for it will be available
Thats crazy you mention that because i was playing battle chasers nightwars this morning.and i went on psn.and i was like wow.theres not a lot of games left to preoders.then again.my backlog of games will last me for years.word up son
It’s weird because if you go to an online shop there are lots of games to pre-order physically. Whilst I don’t pre-order digitally it’s nice to be able to check the PSN price before a game comes out.
Tlou 2 and ghost of tsushima are the last big AAA ps4 games that I bought on ps4 I think. I still plan to buy indie games like the new shantae though, it's nice ps5 can play ps4 games.
Wasteland 3? Forgot all about that one. Pleasantly surprised.
So is iron man vr cancelled? I know it got indefinitely delayed but has that now become vaporware?
What about Watch Dogs: Legion?
Doesn't that count?
As someone else has said corona virus has played a bigger role than ps5.
@nookie_egg No. Sony seem to have just completely forgotten about it. Haha. I need this game in my life. Come on Sony, release it soon.
@SoulChimera did look pretty cool, I'm getting back into my vr with astro bot and the playroom vr so that'd be a good one to experiment with too I reckon.
I never pre-order games, but I may buy Cyberpunk shortly after release depending on reviews.
Who writes this crap?!! Has nothing to do with 'winding down'!!
@Netret0120 what did you think of Shadow of the Tomb Raider? I absolutely loved it, and didnt get the hate it seemed to attract on release
I'll assume that planet coaster is on the ps5 then?
Explains why it's being ported from the pc so easily..
Certainly won't be buying the last of us 2 after the leaks. Just glad the leak saved me from that awful SJW fanfic crap but sad they've ruined a great franchise.
TLoU2 and GoT are all that's left for me this gen on PS4. ACV will be my first PS5 game if no exclusives are announced, and if so, they'll be purchased simultaneously. Plenty of life left on my Switch, and nothing foreseeable on Xbox I'm afraid.
trails of cold steel part 4 is rumoured for europe release in september
Given that most games don't seem to appear until launch day nowadays, I'm not sure it's as much a sign of a wind down as you suggest.
@Rob_230 agreed, it's a quality game. Story is the weakest of the trilogy, but otherwise it's the best of the lot in several ways.
I’m sure they’ll still be releasing niche titles and several JRPGs on the system for years to come. I still remember buying Persona 4 for the PS2 on release day in 2009.
I don’t think it’s so much the generation winding down as it is a lot of devs probably aren’t sure when their game will be ready now
@Rob_230
I absolutely loved it. I love the entire series. Always liked these action adventure games.
I think the hate people had for it was that it wasnt that different from the very first game.
I liked the first game so i didnt mind that at all.
Cyberpunk 2077 and Ghosts of Tsushima are definitely on my list. TLOU part 2 was already pre-ordered, but according to Neil Druckmann, me, a mixed race gay dude is a bigot for thinking the story of his game is dog crap. Not getting my money
Last of Us 2 and Ghosts of Tsushima will most likely be my last big PS4 purchases, as I imagine is true with a lot of people too.
I really need to finish Wastelands 2, been in my backlog for a long time now.
@Mace71 yeah don't buy it. Go and play last of us 1 again.
When/where will we be able to preorder the Gen 5 PlayStation? Or is there a way we can do so now? If you don't know.. who do we ask?
I think Covid is playing it’s part as the world isn’t functioning as intended right now. Except of course forums/social media. Even more cack/lies/gonks than normal.
There were previously games that are unreleased on the store, which have been taken off. I think this is Ghost of Tsushima's third time here. Look at the upcoming games, which aren't there, yet are announced for summer/fall of 2020!
Yeah either that or were in the middle of a pandemic that has forced non essential businesses to close or start working from home. Not that that would be disruptive or anything.
There are a large number of games which are being released fairly soon yet haven't got pre-orders up on psn, some of these are fairly big releases and some are niche but it's unusual to see so few of them available, many are available for physical pre-orders only...
FYI, i can't see how you think this is the generation winding down? It's more to do with the uncertainty of release dates due to the coronavirus, I would of thought that was obvious?
It's even been stated from numerous sources that PS4 will be supported for significant time to come, with a lot of the next gen titles being release for both platforms.
@ZeroOverOne Obvious reasons? I don't know you that well! xD
Ghost of Sashimi is the only one I may end up getting on PS4, and Cyberpunk 2077 will be a PC or XSX purchase from me. I'm on the TLOU2 hate-bandwagon all the way, and I'm not buying a game starring Ms Marvel.
