The New Year brings new expectations for games. Especially after the massively successful games 2023 presented, players have been expecting a lot from 2024. Though Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown didn’t meet the expectations, Palworld has blasted on every platform it’s been released. Now, if you are a PlayStation player, and you have missed playing the Pokémon-like game, it is natural that you will try to figure out which games on your favorite platform will give you the best experience and potentially break all the records.

In 2024, PlayStation will get a long list of games but among them, a handful of games will be exclusive to the platform. So, it will be a bit difficult to pick the top games that will be worth breaking the bank. But we have picked five games that you must not miss as a PlayStation player.

5. Final Fantasy VII: Rebirth

The Final Fantasy series is one of the most popular action, role-playing game series that players can play on different platforms. However, the upcoming installment of the series Final Fantasy VII: Rebirth will be an exclusive PlayStation 5 game. It is the sequel to the Final Fantasy VII Remake.

Set immediately after the events of Remake, the Rebirth version includes real-time action with strategic and role-playing elements. The story begins with players controlling Cloud Strife, the protagonist and a member of the eco-terrorist group AVALANCHE to fight the evil institution Shinra Corporation. They drain the life energy of the planet. In this game, players will get real-time exploration and combat to make the gameplay exciting.
As Square Enix has announced Final Fantasy VII: Rebirth will be released on February 29, 2024. This game is presumed to be one of the biggest hits of the year.

4. Helldivers 2

If you are wondering why Helldivers 2 is on the list, this thought is valid. Helldivers 2 is not a PlayStation-exclusive game. Instead, it will be released on Windows as well. But this game will probably be a big hit of 2024 as players have already been expecting by watching its trailer. After the significant success of its predecessor Helldivers, the sequel version has created huge expectations among gamers.

Unlike the Helldivers, this sequel version is a third-person shooter game, but the gameplay mechanism will be the same. You can choose Strategems before starting the game, like before. These include cluster bombs, sentry guns, shield generators, or supply pods that contain limited-use special weaponry. One of the unique things is that this game allows friendly fire. As declared, Helldivers 2 will be released on February 8, 2024.

3. Silent Hill 2 Remake

Another hype-creating game that will be released in 2024 is Silent Hill 2 Remake. This game is the remake version of the 2001 game Silent Hill 2. Though this game will be released on PC as well, still it is expected to be one of the biggest hits on PlayStation. This game will give you a thrilling experience of roaming around an abandoned town named Silent Hill while encountering jumpscares and fights to survive.

Until now we are not aware of the gameplay much, but the cinematic trailer of the game looks impressive and that’s what heightened the expectations of the players. Unfortunately, the developers haven’t yet announced an exact date of release. We only know it will be released this year.

2. Death Stranding 2

Death Stranding 2’s announcement gave players a decent surprise as no one probably expected the 2019 game Death Stranding to have a sequel. However, after 5 years, finally, the developers have decided to bring a sequel to continue the journey. If you have watched the trailer of the game, this looks promising, with multiple elements taken from its predecessor. If you have tried Death Stranding, you must try the sequel at least once.

Death Stranding 2, as much as we have got the news, will be a PlayStation 5 exclusive game and it will be released on January 30, 2024.

1. Rise Of The Ronin
