It’s official,Sonyhas announcedPlayStation’s 2023 Showcase will be on the 24th of May, that’s not a long time to wait. In Sony’s words, the showcase will be “focusing on PS5 and PS VR2 games in development from top studios from around the world.”
With no E3 this year, this is where we could see some big news. Here’s what I selfishly want to see, that I think could realistically happen.
1. More killer exclusives

Away from cross-platform titles likeDeathloop, there are only a few seriously must-have exclusives on the PS5. EvenGod of War: Ragnarokwas a dual PS4 and PS5 release. Can we please finally make the true leap into the PS5/XboxSeries Xera?
Remakes and remasters for classics likeResident Evil 4,UnchartedandThe Last of Usare all well and good, but let’s stop dwelling on what’s been and try something new please hey guys?

2. Serious PSVR2 support

As the first major event since the launch of thePSVR2, this should be one area where the showcase really delivers. The incredibly impressive (and expensive) PSVR2 is a great bit of kit, with the eye tracking in particular often breathtaking, but the titles available for it are lacking. Aside fromHorizon: Call of the Mountainthere are few first-party games to choose from, hopefully, that will change soon.

3. A PS5 Pro?

This is a bit cheeky of me considering some people are still only just getting hands on with their PS5 consoles but for those of us lucky enough to have had one for some time, it has actually almost been three years with the console.
It’s not that the console isn’t impressive but there have been plenty of rumors about a mid generation hardware update, orPS5 Pro. If not a new more powerful machine then as someone who regularly has to move his PlayStation around, I’d appreciate a lighter machine, perhaps with thedetachable disc drivethat has been tipped to arrive soon.
4. A PS Plus invasion

There are some excellent games on the higher tiers of PlayStation Plus, but most months I don’t see much value in the ‘Premium’ and ‘Extra’ tiers, especially compared toGame Pass.
In terms of anticipated titles arriving on the service from day one, the only real draw has been Stray. Hopefully, Sony has big plans for its three-tiered PlayStation Plus service after a year of trialling it. The PS5 titles in the catalogue are pretty disappointing in particular.
5. More great indies

While first-party titles have been fairly few and far between, PlayStation has grown its reputation of great indie games (on both PS4 and PS5) in recent years. April’s PS Plus giveaway ofMeet Your Makerwas a generous free launch for a great title whileCult of the LambandRollerdromewere two of my favourite games of 2022.
Some of the biggest surprise hits of the last generation started with PlayStation taking a chance and giving them away on its monthly games section.Fall GuysandRocket Leagueare just two examples. I’m looking forward to another batch of undiscovered future classics appearing at the showcase.
