A complex tangle of factors is leading to next-generation bottlenecks. It’s still nearly impossible to buy the physical consoles themselves, and of course the number of customers who can own them and buy games is limited. It means there’s little incentive to strive for exclusive next-gen titles that you’ll actually leverage.There’s no need to limit yourself (and your sales) to a handful of next-gen console owners.
On top of that, industry-wide delays (many of which stem from wider supply chain issues and similar pandemic-related issues) mean that a ton of next-gen tweaks or exclusive games won’t make it into his 2022 and beyond.
A year ago, the next generation of console games should have arrived. The Xbox Series X (and Series S) and PlayStation 5 have boldly stepped onto the scene. It features a huge body and an even bigger promise of a game with better graphics, faster load times and revolutionary new breakthroughs. But a year later, the next generation of games still hasn’t arrived. Consoles, and more importantly, there are still far too few games that actually use them, and the first years of PS5 and Xbox Series X are for the lucky few who were able to get their hands on one. We’re leaving a lot of beta testing… New game era.

And it’s a trend that will continue for the foreseeable future. Halo Infinite and Forza Horizon 5 are playable on the original 2013 Xbox One right next to the cutting-edge Xbox Series X. The nearly ten-year-old first-gen PlayStation 4 gets the same Horizon Forbidden West and God of War Ragnarok games as the PS5 you won’t find. Microsoft has already promised to target his Xbox simultaneous release of first-party games. I also kept reading the fine print for most of Sony’s first-party games with each announcement, but realized they weren’t his PS5-exclusive titles that really took advantage of the processing power and speed of his SSD. rice field.
It also means postponed. This means that even if you do manage to get your hands on a console, there are still relatively few blockbuster titles you can actually play. Ratchet & Clank: With the exception of a few true next-gen limited editions such as Rift Apart, Returnal, and Microsoft Flight Simulator, virtually all major “next-gen” releases were available on older consoles and PCs. Assassin’s Creed: Valhalla was on Xbox One and PS4, as was Call of Duty: Vanguard, Battlefield 2042 and Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy.
