The second half of 2025 is shaping up to be one of the most important times for PS5 owners since the console’s launch. With a lineup of new releases that is both rich and varied, the console is ready to enter a “hot streak.” The PS5’s success comes from its strong first-party exclusives and a steady stream of high-quality third-party titles. This trend seems to be picking up speed in the coming months.
August has already set the stage with games like Madden NFL 26 and the eagerly awaited Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater. These releases, appealing to different parts of the gaming community, are just the start. September keeps the momentum going with titles like Borderlands 4 and Silent Hill f, offering both established franchises and thrilling new projects. The diversity available shows the platform’s wide appeal, ensuring every type of gamer can find something they enjoy.
However, the standout title during this period is clearly the PlayStation first-party exclusive Ghost of Yotei, which will arrive in October. This game, a sequel to the popular Ghost of Tsushima, is expected to attract a lot of attention and strengthen the PS5’s reputation as a top choice for engaging, story-driven experiences. The addition of new installments in popular series like Battlefield 6 and Little Nightmares 3 enhances the month’s offerings, creating a strong lineup that few other platforms can rival.
This surge in new content indicates a strategic shift from Sony and its publishing partners, addressing previous concerns about the slow rollout of exclusive releases. By mixing major first-party games with a solid array of third-party titles, the PS5 is entering a period of impressive growth. This “hot streak” is likely to carry on into November and December, although details for those months are still limited. For gamers, the message is clear: being a PS5 owner has never been more rewarding.
