Stand:
As early as 2022, Sony announced that they will bring fewer games for the old PS4 from 2025. Now we know when PS Plus completely sades on the PS5.
The PlayStation 4 has been on its hump for almost 12 years. A strong generation of console for manufacturers Sony with almost 120 million units sold. However, everything has an end and the PS4 also has to face the truth: at some point it is simply over. It has long been clear that Sony is slowly but surely leading the console and Playstation Plus has to go along - but it is still a little time.
PS Plus soon with a focus on the PS5
What has been announced now?Together with the idea of thehas announced that from January 2026 fewer games will be available for the PS4 via the subscription. Significantly less. It is said that there are only games for PS4 occasionally. Here is the statement:
Many of our players are currently playing on the PS5 and have started to redeem and access PS5 titles from the monthly games and the play catalog. Playstation Plus will follow this development and will focus on from January 2026 to offer PS5 titles as part of the monthly games and the play catalog. With our switch to PS5, games for PS4 will no longer be an important advantage and from January 2026 only occasionally offered as part of the monthly games and the play catalog. We will also offer titles that can be played on PS4 and PS5 after this date.
Accordingly, from 2026More on exclusive titles for thefocus. The subscription should then offer significantly less for the PS4. It is pointed out that all PS4 games that you have activated in the subscription remain in your library.
What was announced in 2022?Already around 3 years agoconfirms that first party games from 2025 will no longer be a cross-gene title. New parts of the Playstation series like aOr Horizon should then no longer appear on PS4. At that time it was said that they wanted to concentrate more on PC and mobile. In addition, service games were very popular at the time.
Since then, a lot has changed on the market and at least since the mega shooter flop concord, Sony has also adapted its strategy. It is quite possible that the cross-gene strategy was also adapted and the PS4 2025 is still fully supported. At the latest, however, the lights are slowly going out and the focus is on the PS5.
Many players think: was also time
What do players say?On the discussion platformRedditHas a thread with hundreds of comments formed on the subject (via reddit.com). Many users are okay with the announcement, but there is also confusion and lack of understanding. On the one hand, players say that we are in the new generation for over 4 years and that it is not a surprise. Others wonder how Sony wants to make it mostly exclusive PS5 games-many games can be played on PS4 and PS5.
I'm surprised that it took so long.
Some users are even happy that it is finally ready. In its eyes, the PS4 was supported far too long, which the PS5 held back. The poor availability of the PS5 from the release could also have played a role. Overall, most users in the thread focus on the PS5 as the right step. Especially when you consider.
