GTA 6 would be only the concern. so probably before then.
I think it all depends on how this war has impacted them. They have had a staff member killed in the war, and they have moved because of the war, and had to deal with COVID. The team has been through hell and back. Let's hope they are on track.

The game is probably not coming on playstation exactly after 3 months. probably mid to late 2025.
Doubt it will be late 2025, wouldn't be surprised if they have a PS5 build up and running already.

The longer they leave it the more money they probably leave on the table. They have a GamePass check, but the game likely won't sell much on Xbox. Should do OK on Steam, though I have seen keys going for as little as £30.

it has following on PC. but how big? it is old series. should do good numbers on PC. but Playstation is Playstation.

Never played the original, but seems to have a decent following and there's a good amount of hype online for this one, but who knows if it translates to big sales.

I've got my copy pre-ordered, fuck BLOPS6.

I was really forward to this, I’m sure it’ll be excellent, but I’m thinking I wait to play it on PS5.

I doubt it. PS5 development probably hasn't even started yet. They had to optimize and development the game on series s and x and PC. Plus the game is massive and they had a war. PS5 version probably will be mid to late 2025.

Massive? The 100 hours sounds like B.S., similar to the Game Science dev talking about Black Myth being 90 hours. Maybe to see every single thing, but hardly anyone is doing that and there'll be lots of empty space. Previously they were talking about Stalker being a 20 hour campaign. That plus the aforementioned financial aspect means I doubt they will take close to a year to port it.

I read somewhere they haven’t even started the port. The port may never happen tbh

main story is 25-40 hours to beat. Side content is like another 30 to 40 hours. They already had Microsoft help fund the game and they got a game pass check. Taking a year to port to ps5 would be fine. The people who want stalker on playstation will still buy it when it comes. This game should do well on game pass and steam. Also Black Myth is not a open world rpg. Open world rpgs tend to be long games. So the length makes sense.

it won't be fine in 1 year time. game is got older + massive competition. how ignorant you have to be, thinking, releasing against GTA 6 is Fine? game instantly would bomb on PS5. i am not even going into other same genre new games in august - november 2025.
