We've sifted through the digital haystack to bring you the cream of the crop, the absolute best PS5 games expected to drop (or already out) for the 2024 holiday season. Let's dive in!
Blockbusters & Big Names You Won't Want to Miss
This section is for the AAA titles, the games everyone's buzzing about. These are the heavy hitters, the games you'll be bragging about to your friends. Think cinematic experiences and hours of gameplay.
Marvel's Spider-Man 3 (Hypothetical Release - aiming for Holiday 2024)
Insomniac Games, you guys are killing it! If the previous Spider-Man games are anything to go by, this is a must-have. Expect incredible graphics, a sprawling NYC to explore, and a story that'll keep you glued to your seat. Seriously, Spider-Man 2 blew me away; I'm so hyped for the next one.
Hogwarts Legacy 2 (Hypothetical Release - potentially Holiday 2024)
Okay, maybe I'm being a bit biased, but I loved exploring Hogwarts in the first game. If they build on that open world, add even more spells, and tighten up some of the side quests, it'll be a top contender. Let's hope they don't mess it up this time! They have to deliver.
Under-the-Radar Gems: Hidden Holiday Treasures
Not all the best games are massive budget affairs. Sometimes, it's the smaller titles that truly shine. These are the games you might not have heard of, but trust me – they're worth checking out.
Unannounced Indie Title X (Hypothetical Release)
This space is for that surprise hit that nobody saw coming. Indie developers are amazing, often pushing boundaries and innovating in ways big studios don't always dare. Keep your eyes peeled for reviews! Word of mouth is everything in this realm, so listen to those gamer friends of yours.
Genre-Specific Picks: Something for Everyone
We all have our favorite genres. This section breaks down some of the best PS5 games expected for Holiday 2024, categorized by genre to help you find your perfect fit.
RPG Fans: Elden Ring style sequel? (Hypothetical)
FromSoftware’s games are notorious for being brutally difficult, yet incredibly rewarding. If a similar game appears during the holiday season, expect intense boss fights and a deep, complex world to explore. Prepare to die... a lot.
Racing Enthusiasts: Gran Turismo 8 (Hypothetical Update/DLC)
Polyphony Digital might release a major update or DLC for Gran Turismo 7. It's a solid racer and constant updates keep it fresh. If they add more tracks, cars, and features, it'll be worth a revisiting, even if its not a full release.
Sports Gamers: EA Sports FC 25 (Likely Release)
The newest iteration of the popular football simulation game is likely to make an appearance. Expect updated rosters, refined gameplay, and maybe some new features – though honestly, I'm just hoping for fewer bugs this time.
