2023 is shaping up to be a huge year for Sony, with the announcement of titles like Final Fantasy, Horizon, and more coming to the PS5. Below is a list of all the current and upcoming PS5 exclusives, along with any confirmed release dates we have so far.
Upcoming PlayStation exclusives coming in 2023 and beyond:
Forspoken
- January 24, 2023
Square Enix’s next action-adventure title, Forspoken, could be one of next year’s most exciting games. Aside from its stunning visual style, fluid traversal, and story about a woman transported from NYC to a mystical world, the game’s writing talent features Gary Whitta (Rogue One) and Amy Hennig (Uncharted and the Legacy of Kain).
Despite being heavily delayed, Forspoken will be released at the beginning of 2023.
Season: A Letter to the Future
- January 31, 2023
Season: A Letter to the Future is a third-person adventure game based on a bicycle road trip. Essentially, through the eyes of a young woman venturing out of her small community, you go on a journey, experiencing the world for the first time. It’s a beautiful game with a fantastic art style that will look even better on the PS5.
The Dark Pictures: Switchback (VR)
- February 22, 2023
Those looking for a fantastic horror VR experience through the PlayStation 5 will definitely want to check out The Dark Pictures: Switchback by Supermassive Games, best known for their other Dark Pictures titles and Until Dawn.
This creepy game is a nightmarish VR rollercoaster ride filled with horror, jumpscares, and the occasional weapon that needs to be fired. After all, nothing fits together like rollercoasters, horror, and shooters, right?
Horizon Forbidden West Burning Shores
- April 19, 2023
Announced at The Game Awards in 2022, the Burning Shores DLC is a highly anticipated game releasing in 2023. It features Aloy, Los Angeles, and another gripping storyline for fans to follow as well as new locations, creatures, and perhaps fighting styles. Ultimately, if you’re a fan of Horizon: Zero Dawn or Horizon: Forbidden West, this is a must-try.
- June 22, 2023
Despite this installment being the 16th Final Fantasy game, this franchise never seems to dwindle or falter in its successes. Final Fantasy constantly impresses and from the looks of it, Final Fantasy 16 will be no different.
Featuring classic characters, the style many know and love, and equally fantastic weapons, this will be a game everyone should try out, even if it is only a timed exclusive.

Marvel’s Spider-Man 2
- Fall 2023
While Marvel’s Spider-Man (2018) and its Miles Morales-based follow-up set a new Spiderverse in motion, Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 will see it expand in multiple ways. For one, it appears both Peter Parker and Miles will be playable, while Kraven and Venom will be the villains this time around.
We’re excited to revisit Manhattan again in 2023 – especially with how beautiful it looked in Spider-Man: Miles Morales.

Current PS5 exclusive
God of War: Ragnarok (Also available on PS4)
Kratos’ 2018 adventure remains one of PlayStation 4’s best, and his 2022 return has provided more of the same – with gorgeous visuals, a story steeped in Norse mythology, and Atreus looking much more grown-up (BOY no more).
This time around, our duo of deities is looking for Tyr, and their search will see them clash with foes new and old.
