The most optimistic people did not expect the PlayStation 4's lifespan to last so long, but despite this... now we are observing and seeing with our own eyes more than ever, the reluctance of many developers to develop and release their current and future projects on this device.
It seems that the time has come to say goodbye to the device, even if not officially, as everything indicates that the year 2023 will be the true beginning of the end of this wonderful device, but in exchange it will be considered the true launch of the PlayStation 5.
Today, we're going to share with you this thoughtful list of powerful games that the device will lose during 2023, which are huge AAA titles, and it's been confirmed that they won't see the light of day on PlayStation 4. There are reasons for this, but the result is the same, so join us to find out which titles you weren't expecting on PS4.
