PlayStation Studios has revealed that 25 first-party PS5 games are currently in development, and almost half of them are brand new IPs.

That eyebrow-raising statement comes from a new Wired interview with PlayStation Studios boss Hermen Hulst, a Guerrilla co-founder who was named head of PlayStation Studios in 2019 - he's the one who seemed to use his PS5 upside down in an infamous video from December.

With a long list of upcoming PS5 games already confirmed and out in the open, and now this news that more than two dozen first-party games are on the way, it's an exciting time to be a PlayStation fan. We already know about games like God of War 2, Horizon Forbidden West, Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart, and Gran Turismo 7, but this latest info from Hulst means we literally don't know the half (or eighth, even) of it.

After earning an English degree from ASU, I worked as a corporate copy editor while freelancing for places like SFX Magazine, Screen Rant, Game Revolution, and MMORPG on the side. I got my big break here in 2019 with a freelance news gig, and I was hired on as GamesRadar's west coast Staff Writer in 2021. That means I'm responsible for managing the site's western regional executive branch, AKA my home office, and writing about whatever horror game I'm too afraid to finish.
