Uncharted 5 for PS5 is currently in development

Uncharted 5 for PS5> is currently under development, according to what was reported on Twitter by the insider and youtuber Foxy, who also confirmed that the series is in excellent health and is far from over.

Exactly a year ago there were rumors (and doubts!) related to whether Uncharted 5 was or was not in development at Sony San Diego, the mysterious team of PlayStation Studios still unofficial, but the thing did not have a sequel nor have any announcements.

In fact the only novelties related to the franchise revolve around the arrival of Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves Collection, a remaster of Uncharted 4: A Thief's End and Uncharted: The Lost Legacy which will mark the debut of the series also on PC.


Anyone who has played with the fourth chapter of Uncharted knows that the story created by Naughty Dog has found its conclusion, so it is not clear which narrative direction will be taken in the next eventual episode.

Of course, the options on the table are different: one could insist on the enhancement of supporting actors, as happened in the aforementioned The Lost Legacy, or go back and take advantage of the Uncharted film with Tom Holland to tell the deeds of a young Nathan Drake.

Developer: Heart MachinePublisher: Annapurna InteractiveRelease date: December 2, 2021


From the developer behind Hyper Light Drifter, Solar Ash is Heart Machine's latest upcoming game to be announced as part of the PS5 line-up. With its distinct colourful art style, players will journey through a rift in space known as the Ultravoid which is swallowing whole worlds. In this dangerous setting with its surreal and versatile environment, the characters 'must find solace in each other to make it through the spiral of despair they find themselves trapped in.' Head of Heart Machine's Ash Preston described Solar Ash's story as a personal experience that evolves to something 'beyond just the weight of the struggle into something more hopeful.'

Little Devil Inside first began life on Kickstarter back in 2015. Fast forward five years later and we see a debut trailer during the PS5 reveal stream with the news that it will be a timed exclusive. As an RPG with survival elements, Little Devil inside is set in the 'Victorian-like' era in a semi-open world. The trailer showed off a whole host of monsters and also gave us brief glimpses of some of the combat elements and features. It was easily one of the biggest surprises of the recent showcase. 

Five Nights at Freddy's: Security Breach

Touted as the most ambitious Five Nights at Freddy's game yet, Security Breach is another of the upcoming PS5 games arriving at some point in 2021. It features a new location called the Mega Pizza Plex, and stands as the symbol that Freddy Fazbears' Pizza isn't just a small pizzeria chain anymore. It's like Pizza Planet from Toy Story got invaded by all of Sid's horrible creations, but with more animatronics and murder than anything Pixar's ever created. Darkened hallways, arcades, and creepy toys galore on PS5 later this year.

Heavenly Bodies

Revealed during the PS5 Indies Initiative event, Heavenly Bodies suits you up for work on a spacecraft in outer space. You'll use your left and right triggers to move your character's respective limbs and navigate weightlessness. It looks like a situation where players might assume what's actually a mechanically disorienting task to be simple and easy, resulting in gut-busting struggles. Just watch the trailer above for some examples. Heavenly Bodies has also been confirmed for PS4 for release sometime in 2021.

Quantum Error

A multiple Future Games Show alum, Quantum Error is an upcoming next-gen sci-fi horror shooter coming to PS5 at an undisclosed date. With shades of Half-Life, Doom, and Dead Space, you'll control a skilled fireman from a first-person perspective as you hack at and blast away deep space mutants. Watching the recent 4K PS5 trailer from the Future Games Show, you'd never believe a team of just four developers is working on Quantum Error.

2022

Rainbow Six Extraction

Developer: Ubisoft MontrealPublisher: UbisoftRelease date: January 2022


Rather than a spin-off from the very successful Rainbow Six Siege, this is something new, and a little bit more supernatural. You still play as a Rainbow Six Operator, but instead of human foes, you'll be tasked with taking down a totally new breed of alien parasite that's infecting the human race. In this exciting addition to the upcoming PS5 games list, you'll operate in squads of three, playing in PvE matches where the environment is filled with these new, terrifying, rather fast-moving foes.  

Dying Light 2

If you're out of the loop, Dying Light 2 is the sequel to the immense parkouring, zombie-slaying adventure, and is set 15-years after the original. Techland itself describes the time period for this new game as the 'new Dark Ages', which suggests just how desperate humanity has become in this particular zombie apocalypse. Watch the above 4K demo just to see what you're in for.

Horizon Forbidden West

Developer: Guerrilla GamesPublisher: Sony Interactive EntertainmentRelease date: February 18, 2022


Aloy is well and truly back. That's right, a Horizon Zero Dawn sequel has officially been revealed and it'll see Aloy head to post-apocalyptic San Francisco. The trailer looked absolutely gorgeous and bursting with vibrant colours, mysterious machines, and new environments to explore. We even see Aloy underwater wearing what appears to be some kind of breathing mask, which could mean we can expect some underwater sections. It's great to see that we'll be able to return to the rich world created by Guerrilla Games and experience a new journey on the PS5. 

Sifu

Developer: SloclapPublisher: DevolverRelease date: February 22, 2022


Sifu comes from the creators of Absolver, and aims to deliver a story inspired by classic Kung Fu films. You play as a young student who's spent their life training to take revenge on the assassination squad that killed his entire family. You'll have to hunt down the murderers one by one across a fictional Chinese city. Obviously, there's a lot of focus on the game's combat, which aims to be realistic and raw, but along the way, you'll also discover an ancient mystery. This involves a magical pendant that revives you after death - but at a cost.

Elden Ring

Developer: FromSoftwarePublisher: Bandai NamcoRelease date: February 25, 2022


The next FromSoftware title is a partnership between the acclaimed developer and Game of Thrones author George R. R. Martin. Elden Ring is another action RPG, but this is brand new and will follow a new protagonist seemingly known as the Tarnished. You'll be able to explore the game's world on horseback, and attack from it too, as this game will feature melee, magic, and ranged combat to use against its giants, fantastical creatures, and other monstrosities.

Forspoken

Developer: Luminous ProductionsPublisher: Square EnixRelease date: Spring 2022


Where do we start with Project Athia, or Forspoken as it is now officially known? This game that was 'designed for PlayStation 5,' is a console exclusive from Square Enix, and it looks beautiful. The protagonist is seen leaping across cliffs, attacking huge wolves with tree root-esque abilities, and overlooking a gorgeous cloud-filled landscape from the top of a mountain. What's more is that famed screenwriter and author Gary Whitta (Star Wars: Rogue One, The Walking Dead) is in charge of a team of 'A-list writers' working on the game, which means it could be something very special indeed.

GTA 5

When GTA 5 for the PS5 was first revealed, it was slated to release sometime in 2021, but the most recent PlayStation showcase has since confirmed it now has a March 2022 launch window. With a look at some of the most exciting upcoming releases, the latest GTA 5 trailer showed off upgraded graphics of our next-gen return to Los Santos. Rockstar also confirmed that GTA online will be available in the upgraded release.  

Tiny Tina's Wonderlands

Tiny Tina is taking on the role of twisted Dungeon Master in this Borderlands spin-off entitled Tiny Tina's Wonderlands. This story-driven campaign features co-op for up to four players, and offers a high fantasy twist on the Borderlands formula. Tiny Tina makes up the rules in this world of magic, monsters, treasures, and even a Dragon Lord (voiced by the one and only Andy Samberg), so expect the unexpected.

Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves Collection

Developer: Naughty DogPublisher: Sony Interactive EntertainmentRelease date: Early 2022


Nathan Drake, Chloe, and Nadine are officially coming to the PS5. Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves brings Uncharted 4: A Thief's End and Uncharted: Lost Legacy together in one upgraded remastered bundle in early 2022. With a Thief's End seeing out Drake's journey in the series in the jungles of Madagascar, and Lost Legacy offering another memorable adventure with Chloe and Nadine, Legacy of Thieves gives you the perfect excuse to experience them all over again, or jump in for the first time on Sony's latest console.  

Ghostwire: Tokyo

Developer: Tango GameworksPublisher: BethesdaRelease date: Early 2022


Ghostwire: Tokyo has officially been confirmed to be coming to the PS5 in 2021, and we also saw some gameplay footage showing off the first-person combat. Set in Tokyo, Japan, Tango Gameworks takes you to the city which has been overrun by paranormal threats. Strange occult events have caused devastation, and the vast majority of the city's population has mysteriously disappeared.  After you gain supernatural abilities of your own, it's up to you to explore and fend off evil spirits. Said to take full advantage of the PS5's hardware, Ghostwire Tokyo is set to deliver an immersive, supernatural experience.

Stray

Developer: BlueTwelve StudioPublisher: Annapurna InteractiveRelease date: Early 2022


In this new adventure coming to the PS5 from BlueTwelve Studio, you play as a cat in a world filled with robots. As a cat exploring this strange world, you'll gain a unique perspective from the eyes of a feline who can sneak under cars, traverse over rooftops and go about unnoticed. Viv, the game and creative director at the studio, said, 'we are inspired every day by Murtaugh and Riggs, our two cats. Most of the team are cat owners as well, giving us all a lot of helpful first-hand references. Cats are always so playful, cute, and lovingly annoying that it's an endless stream of gameplay ideas for us.'

Gotham Knights

Developer: WB Games MontrealPublisher: Warner BrosRelease date: TBC 2022


The long-awaited WB Games Montreal title is Gotham Knights; an open-world, action RPG set in what the dev is calling the 'most dynamic and interactive Gotham City yet'. The big story beat is that Batman is dead, leaving the Gotham Knights (Robin, Batgirl, Nightwing, and Red Hood) to protect the city from its full roster of bad guys. This is a completely original story for the upcoming PS5 games list, rather than any kind of re-enactment of the comics. In terms of villains, we know that the Court of Owls are at least involved, but others including Mr. Freeze will also play a part in the game's narrative. It features drop-in, drop-out co-op too, with the kind of gameplay you'd expect to see from a Batman: Arkham title. 

Marvel's Midnight Suns

Developer: Firaxis GamesPublisher: 2K GamesRelease date: TBC 2022


Firaxis is bringing us a new strategy game but this time it's not a new XCOM. Instead, we're getting a Marvel-themed strategy game called Marvel's Midnight Suns. Teaming up with 12 of Marvel Comics' iconic heroes in the roster, you play as The Hunter, the very first customizable character in Marvel history. Together you'll attempt to take down the Mother of Demons, Lillith, in a XCOM / Marvel fusion gameplay scenario. 

Goodbye Volcano High

Developer: KO_OPRelease date: TBC 2022


The developers behind Goodbye Volcano High announced that the narrative direction of the story has had a reboot since we first saw the initial game reveal. Now pushed back to 2022 with a new team of writers, it'll be exciting to see how the story shapes up. Described as a cinematic, choice-based experience with a non-binary protagonist called Fang and a lovely art style, Goodbye Volcano High looks like one to watch out for. 

Lord of the Rings: Gollum

Developer: Daedalic EntertainmentPublisher: Daedalic EntertainmentRelease date: TBC 2022


We are all so intrigued to see what a game where you play as the dual-personalities of The Lord of the Rings: Gollum will actually be like. And thankfully, that's exactly what Daedalic Entertainment is going to give us. It's been unveiled as one of the confirmed upcoming PS5 games, and will arrive sometime in 2021 to let you play as Gollum. 


The creature starts out as a prisoner in Barad-dûr, a fortress in Mordor, but eventually you will traverse more of Middle-Earth, with the developer promising 'giant, persistent environments, each harbouring several questlines and a range of friendly or unfriendly faces' in an interview with Edge Magazine in early 2020. During that interview the game is also described as a 'stealth-action-adventure with an intriguing dual-personality mechanic, gigantic levels, and a densely wrought aesthetic inspired by Tolkien's own drawings'. 

A Plague Tale: Requiem

The Flight Simulator studio, Asobo, is going back to its original series with a sequel - A Plague Tale: Requiem. The game will follow the original heroes Amicia and Hugo in their quest to survive in the rat-infested city and The Inquisition. With literal seas of rats featured in the game's reveal trailer, we can only imagine that things have got a lot harder for our brother and sister duo. 

God of War Ragnarok

Ragnarok is coming. Yes, a new God of War game is happening and it's set to land on the PS5 at some point in 2022. During the latest PlayStation September 2021 showcase, we got a proper look at Kratos' upcoming return, and boy was it quite the trailer. Showing a slightly older Atreus, we got to see a host of different creatures, some helpings of combat, and some new characters we'll meet. In a blog post, Santa Monica Studio revealed that the realms are harsher, and we'll be able to test our fighting prowess against new creatures from Norse mythology. It was also revealed that Cory Barlog is not directing this time around, with Eric Williams taking up the helm.  

Tchia

Tchia is a charming indie gem set to arrive on PS5 sometime in 2022. From developer Awaceb, the open-world tropical adventure is inspired by New Caledonia, and includes some very interesting abilities - such a soul jumping power that lets protagonist Tchia take control of objects and animals. During the PlayStation showcase, we got to see how you can become a dog and even a coconut as you explore the sandbox world. Along with free-climbing, and playing a tune on your ukulele, Tchia certainly looks like one to watch out for. 

Open Roads

The latest title from Fullbright (Gone Home, Tacoma) is Open Roads. It follows a mother and daughter who set out on a road trip adventure to discover a series of abandoned family properties to discover a mystery and secrets about their own kin long buried. Like previous Fullbright games, there's a big emphasis on interactive narrative, but this time we'll be exploring multiple destinations and chilling in the car en route between them too.

Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League

Rocksteady is continuing its work on the Batman: Arkham series but taking a detour into Suicide Squad territory. Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League is a brand new sotry, with 1-4 player co-op, an evil Superman, and four playable characters. These take the form of Harley Quinn, Deadshot, Captain Boomerang, and King Shark, all of which come with their own unique weapons, and the option to switch between them at any time. 

Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora

After years of silence, we now have a name, a trailer, and a vague release date for Ubisoft's Avatar title. Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora is coming sometime in 2022 and is a standalone story from any of the movies. This first-person, action-adventure sees you play as a Na'vi and journey across the Western Frontier, which is a part of Pandora not seen before. You'll have to use your surroundings and try to survive against the onslaught of RDA forces.

The Callisto Protocol

Developer: Striking DistancePublisher: KraftonRelease date: TBC 2022


The spiritual successor to Dead Space in all but name, The Callisto Protocol is a fresh survival horror game coming from new studio Striking Distance, helmed by none other than Glen Schofield. Its aim is to deliver the most-terrifying next-gen horror experience ever, and from what we've seen so far of the game, it's looking likely to deliver. Set on Jupiter's moon in 2320, there's a conspiracy to unfold and horrific creatures to face in this third-person story. A great addition to the upcoming PS5 games. 

Hogwarts Legacy

Developer: AvalanchePublisher: Warner Bros. GamesStatus: In developmentRelease date: TBC 2022


Set before the events of the books in the 1800s at the famous Hogwarts school of witchcraft and wizardry and the world beyond, Hogwarts Legacy is described as an open-world RPG that will take you on an adventure in the Harry Potter universe. Added to the list of upcoming PS5 games for 2022 after a delay, Adrian Ropp, head of Avalance, wrote in a blog post on PlayStation's official website that the next-gen console will let create immersive experiences that will let 'a player practically feel the terror of Inferi bearing down upon them' or 'sense the ground rumbling beneath them as a heard of angry centaurs surrounds them'.

Developer: Insomniac Games  Publisher: Sony Interactive EntertainmentRelease date: TBC 2023


During the September 2021 PlayStation showcase, a surprise trailer dropped for Marvel's Spider-Man 2, coming exclusively to PS5 sometime in 2023. As a sequel that's set to continue on the journey of both Peter Parker and Miles Morales, who could forget seeing another very familiar face. Yes, Venom is going to feature as the villain of the new web-slinging adventures. In a blog post, Sony and Insomniac also confirmed that there will be shiny new suits, new abilities, and a very human story at the heart of your superhero antics. 

Pragmata

Developer: CapcomPublisher: CapcomStatus: In developmentRelease date: TBC 2023


Capcom revealed a mysterious new game called Pragmata that leaves more questions than it answers, but certainly piqued a lot of interest when it was added to the upcoming PS5 games list. Described as a 'thought-provoking game', the trailer shows someone in what looks like a space suit in a futuristic setting, where they encounter a young girl and holo-cat. While it won't be coming until 2022, we're certainly eager to learn more about this rather enigmatic adventure. 

TBCMarvel's Wolverine

Developer: InsomniacPublisher: Sony Interactive EntertainmentRelease date: TBC


Undoubtedly one of the biggest surprises of the PlayStation September 2021 showcase came in the shape of those famous adamantium claws belonging to none other than Wolverine. Yes, a new standalone Wolverine game is currently in early development. While we're light on details for the moment, we do know Brian Horton is Wolverine's creative director and Cameron Christian is game director. Horton was creative director on Spider-Man Miles Morales and has also worked on games such as Tomb Raider and Rise of the Tomb Raider. Christian previously worked on Spider-Man and Spider-Man Miles Morales, as well as other titles such as Sunset Overdrive.  Insomniac revealed its goal is to 'respect the DNA of what makes the character so popular, but also try to make it feel fresh' and reflect the studio's spirit.

Developer: AspyrPublisher: Sony Interactive Entertainment and Lucasfilms GamesRelease date: TBC


After many rumors began to circulate, the latest Sony showcase confirmed that a remaster of BioWare's beloved Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic is on the way and it's coming to PS5. Aspyr and Sony Interactive Entertainment are working with Lucasfilm Games to rebuild the classic adventure, which promises to bring KOTOR to a new generation with 'modern tech, features, visuals, and more, while maintaining the integrity of the story and characters' so many have come to love. 

Final Fantasy 16

Developer: Square EnixPublisher: Square EnixRelease date: TBC


Yes, Final Fantasy 16 has officially been confirmed and it's set to be a PlayStation console exclusive that will come to the PS5. Produced by Final Fantasy 14 director Naoki Yoshida and directed by Hiroshi Takai, the debut trailer was revealed during the most recent PS5 showcase, giving us our first proper look at the next installment. We don't know too much about where it will take us just yet, but the trailer does mention how the 'Crystals shaped our world.' More information is set to come in 2021. 

Season

Season

Channelling almost Ghibli-esque vibes, Season is a game about riding around on a bicycle and discovering the world for the first time. You play as a young woman who's lived in a secluded community, but for some reason is now able to explore, take photos, and make new memories. But, there's not much time to do any of it in, as a mysterious cataclysm is about to engulf the world for good. But heck is a beautiful way to spend your last season. 

Indiana Jones

Developer: MachineGamesPublisher: Lucasfilm Games / BethesdaRelease date: TBC


Bethesda studio MachineGames is working on a brand new Indiana Jones game, in conjunction with the newly established Lucasfilm Games. All we've had so far is a tiny teaser trailer, which is more matte painting than gameplay footage. But, from it, we've deduced that it's probably set in Rome in 1937, which would place the game after Raiders of the Lost Ark and the Temple of Doom, and yet before The Last Crusade. It seems to involve ancient stone circles and standing stones, and potentially even a lost race of giant cyclops. Bethesda says we'll be waiting a while for more info though - including 100% confirmation of whether it is on PS5, seeing as it's a Bethesda game. 

Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2

(Image credit: Paradox Interactive)

Developer: Hardsuit LabsPublisher: Paradox InteractiveRelease date: TBC


Looking for a game with a bit of extra bite? Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2 puts you in the seedy underbelly of Seattle, which should suit you just fine as a vampire ready to test out your new fangs. Turned as an act of vampire terrorism during the 'Mass Embrace', you'll soon get caught up in vampire faction politics, where you're still just trying to deal with your new way of life. This is an RPG at its core too, filled with player choices, a strong narrative, and branching dialogue options too. 

Ubisoft's open-world Star Wars game

Ubisoft Star Wars game

Developer: Massive EntertainmentPublisher: Ubisoft / Lucasfilm GamesRelease date: TBC


Another fresh title coming out of the new Lucasfilm Games, this is an open-world Star Wars title from Ubisoft's Massive Entertainment. We don't know much about the game yet, as it's clearly in very early stages of development, but it will run on Massive's custom Snowdrop Engine. We're expecting it to be a photorealistic action-adventure with sprinklings of RPG elements, a la The Division, but obviously set in Star Wars lore. No platforms have officially been confirmed, but expect it to be released on PS5 whenever it does arrive.

Project 007

IO Interactive is gearing up to tell the origin story for James Bond in a brand new game currently titled Project 007. Although details are scarce, and an official name is yet to be revealed, what we do know is that it's going to be an entirely original James Bond story - so not tied to the novels or films. Hakan Abrak, CEO of IO says that it is 'the most ambitious game in the history of our studio'. Exciting times ahead.

Developer: Bethesda Game StudiosPublisher: BethesdaStatus: In developmentRelease date: TBC


Ah, the Elder Scrolls 6. The 37-second trailer that blew the world's mind at E3 2018. The game that we know nothing about beyond this same trailer, that is in development somewhere within Bethesda Game Studios along with Starfield. Because it is so far away from release, you can bet your bottom coin that it's going to appear - at some point - on the PS5 (although hopefully not whatever the PS6 could be). 

Recompile

Developer: Phi GamesStatus: In developmentRelease date: TBC


A classic example of indie devs making smart use of limited resources to make distinctive, beautiful environments, Recompile is an inventive platformer where you've got a pretty heavy task in front of you: hack your way through a virtual landscape, 'bring about the first technological singularity,' and save humanity. In your way are all sorts of alien-looking creatures, which you can shoot down, rush into, or dash around stealthily. This one seems to draw from all sorts of different inspirations, from Nier: Automata to Journey, but with a look (and soundtrack) all its own.

Dead Space Remake

Developer: MotivePublisher: EARelease date: TBC


Dead Space is coming back to haunt all our highmares with a brand new remake that's being specially 'rebuilt' for the PS5. With no loading screens, no microtransactions, and potentially content cut from the original game, this will be the best way to experience Dead Space yet. And with the team behind Star Wars: Squadrons and Star Wars: Battlefront 2 on the job, you know it's going to look fantastic. 

Dragon Age 4

Developer: BioWarePublisher: EARelease date: TBC


Although technically no platforms have been announced for Dragon Age 4 - or whatever the next Dragon Age is officially called - at this point it would seem odd not to think of it as an upcoming PS5 game. We may not have a release date yet, but at least we know that Solas and co are making a return at some point in the future. What we have seen is some glorious concept art, and the confirmation that it will continue on from where Dragon Age: Inquisition left off. 

Project Oxygen

(Image credit: Far From Home)

Developer: Far From HomePublisher: Far From HomeRelease date: TBC


New studio Far From Home is coming swinging out of the gates with an ambitious project that depicts a world devastated by climate change after humanity's inaction. Project Oxygen sees the player descend into a now environmentally-hostile Earth inside an advanced zeppelin. There will be light combat, but it's mostly about surviving through resource management, crafting, and puzzle-solving. The aircraft itself will also be key to your survival and could hold the answer to repairing the ecological damage done to Earth. The studio is made up of developers from Techland (Dying Light, Dead Island), The Farm 51 (Chernobylite), Bloober Team (Layers of Fear, Blair Witch), and Larian Studios (Divinity: Original Sin, Baldur's Gate 3), so plenty of reputable talent is on board, making Project Oxygen even more enticing.

New Mass Effect

Developer: BioWarePublisher: EARelease date: TBC


It might be quite a way off release, but that isn't going to stop us being ridiculously overexcited for a brand new Mass Effect game - aka Mass Effect 5. Seemingly picking up after the events of Mass Effect 3, we'll be seeing some old faces return and some plot lines picked back up. Of course, the big question of whether Shepard will return remains, but we're ready for everything.

Atomic Heart

(Image credit: Mundfish)

Developer: Mundfish Publisher: MundfishRelease date: TBC


Horror fans should rejoice to hear that Mundfish is bringing Atomic Heart to next-gen consoles. The wild-looking sci-fi horror game only rears its grotesque head every so often, but when it does, the world collectively gasps with shock and intrigue. Its monsters are unforgettable, we've already seen a good range of unique alien weapons, and the story already has us asking more questions than we have answers. Atomic Heart looks incredibly ambitious for a smaller studio, and we can't wait to see if it lands the jump on PS5.

Gran Turismo Sport

(Image credit: Polyphony Digital)

Developer: Polyphony DigitalPublisher: SonyRelease date: TBC


It's been a brief spell since Gran Turismo Sport arrived on PS4, but there's a reason why it's at the top of this list of potential upcoming PS5 games. A Wired article from last year explains that the writer got to test a few games on a PS5 devkit. One of those included, and I quote, 'a version of Gran Turismo Sport that Sony had ported over.' It was being used to show off the new haptic capabilities of the PS5 controller, moving from driving on the dirt and the track. Now, it would be a bit of a waste to port the game over just for a tech test, so we expect GT Sport will be racing on over to PS5 at some point in the future.
