We are now four years into the lifecycle of the PlayStation 5, likely halfway through its duration. As console generations typically last around eight years, we may anticipate a PlayStation 6 by 2028. While it may seem premature to look forward to a distant console, the groundwork for it is likely already being laid. Large-scale exclusives often require well over four years to develop, suggesting that there may already be PlayStation 6 games in production.
Some upcoming games are almost certain. New installments in the God of War and Horizon series, along with new IPs from studios like Housemarque, are to be expected. Additionally, we have some insight into other games that may be in the pipeline for Sony’s next console. This speculation is based on studio confirmations, leaks, and basic reasoning. Here are our educated guesses on what games we could be playing on a new PlayStation by 2030.
Marvel’s Spider-Man 3
Last year, a massive hack revealed details about several upcoming games from Insomniac. Among these leaks, it was discovered that Marvel’s Spider-Man 3 is slated for a 2028 release for the PlayStation 6. Given the teases at the end of Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, this sequel seems like a sure bet. If the planned release date holds, it could potentially be a flagship title for the new console.
