Want to know what’s coming to your PlayStation platform of choice in 2015? Sony has published an absolutely massive list of everything currently scheduled to arrive on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3, and PS Vita over the course of 2015. The list comes with the caveat that development schedules are liable to change, and parts of the list could be rendered inaccurate without warning, but Sony intends to keep the info updated.

The year got off to a strong start with exciting new titles and revisited classics making their way to new platforms. Saints Row IV: Re-Elected brings Volition’s hyperbolically silly take on open world games like Grand Theft Auto. Life is Strange launched with its first episode, following in the footsteps of Telltale Games, whose Game of Thrones series is now two episodes in. Grim Fandango and Duke Nukem 3D both came to Vita, allowing a whole new generation of gamers to experience these ’90s classics.

Coming up, The Order: 1886 finally hits PS4 on February 20, followed soon thereafter by Dragon Ball XenoverseDynasty Warriors 8, and Resident Evil Revelations 2Battlefield Hardline  reaches its delayed release in March, along with the Dark Souls spiritual successor Bloodbourne and the remastered Borderlands: The Handsome Collection. Announced dates drop off in the following months, but fans of brutal action have plenty to look forward to in the spring and summer with Mortal Kombat X, The Witcher III, Batman: Arkham Knight, and The Elder Scrolls Online. 

Lastly, some of the most anticipated games on the list don’t yet have dates more specific than 2015. No Man’s Sky by Hello Games promises to be one of the largest and most sophisticated space sandboxes ever. Ratchet & Clank reinvents Insomniac’s classic platformer for the new console. Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End returns to Nathan Drake and the adventure saga that helped put PS3 on the map.

Check out the whole list over on PlayStation Blog. Which games are you most excited for on PlayStation this coming year?

I own a PlayStation 5 Pro. It still hasn’t replaced my regular old PS5
A PS5 slim, PS5 Pro, and base PS5 all stand next to each other.

When I first got my PlayStation 5 Pro, I had a whirlwind first week with it. I spent days on end testing as many games as I could to determine how much of an upgrade it really was over my base PS5. I looked at five-minute chunks of games like Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart for hours, comparing every graphics mode on both systems. At the end of my PS5 vs. PS5 Pro testing, the result was clear: The PS5 Pro was indeed the more powerful console and, frankly, the most capable gaming device I had in my entire home.

So why, just two weeks later, am I still using my regular old PS5 so much?

All upcoming PS5 games: 2024, 2025, and beyond
Team up abilities in Marvel Rivals

The PlayStation 5 has been out for some time now, and its reception has been mostly positive. It includes lots of quality-of-life improvements over its predecessor, the PlayStation 4, such as faster load times, a solid-state drive (SSD) instead of a regular hard disk drive (HDD), and an improved controller in the form of the new DualSense. However, a console is only as good as the games available on it and, thankfully, the PS5 has you covered on that front as well.

While the machine already has a worthy library of great PS5 games, there are even more to look forward to — most of the best upcoming video games are going to hit PS5. Some will be completely free PS5 games, some will be PS5 exclusives, and others will be completely cross-platform so you can play with friends on Xbox, PC, and Switch.

Oh hey, GTA 5 is back on PlayStation Plus this month

November's PlayStation Plus lineup is packed with games this month, both in terms of quality and quantity. However, with Grand Theft Auto 6 on the horizon (hopefully sometime next year), arguably the biggest addition is Grand Theft Auto 5, which is back on the subscription service after leaving earlier this year.

There's not much to say about GTA 5 that hasn't already been said. It's one of the bestselling games of all time and still holds up more than 10 years after release. It's likely you already own it on some platform, but if you somehow don't or just want to play it on the PlayStation 5 or 4, you can play it for free with an Extra or Premium subscription.
