In that time some have been frustrated by how difficult it is to actually buy one.
Others have also questioned the lack of genuine next-generation games available exclusively on the PS5.
Sony tried to address one of these concerns with their big 2021 showcase.
The idea – to turn fan frustration into excitement for what games are to come.
So what did we learn during the 45-minute event?
The showcase opened with a tease for a remake of the classic Star Wars Jedi roleplaying game, Knights of the Old Republic.
It’s been on many gamers’ wish lists to be reimagined for modern consoles for some years.
Along with remasters for Grand Theft Auto 5, Alan Wake, and the Uncharted series – the event proved this trend shows no sign of slowing down.
New graphics and updated gameplay have breathed fresh life into franchises like Final Fantasy and Resident Evil in recent years – PlayStation is betting that it’ll do the same for these titles too.
Of the 18 games shown off by Sony, some are coming to this side of Christmas.
Players can look forward to Deathloop, Guardians of the Galaxy, and Vampire Blood Hunt this year.
However, many of the big exclusive teases have an uncertain future.
Trailers for titles like Wolverine, God of War: Ragnarok, and Project Eve came without any indication of when they may actually be playable.
Will they be 2022 or beyond? We just don’t know.
Those excited for Spiderman 2 will have to wait until 2023.
