These aren’t photos, they’re screenshots of PS4 launch titles

The PlayStation 4 will be unleashed on the public on November 15, and with it will come over 20 games designed with Sony’s next gen system in mind. That number will grow as the launch day turns into the launch window, and the launch window yields to the first year of the PS4’s life. At the moment, there are around 140 games confirmed for the PS4 and more are sure to follow.

But for those that are planning on picking up a PS4 on launch day, when November 15 rolls around there will be at least 20 choices for you to consider when deciding what game (or games) you should take home with your new console, or download once you are set up. Other games will come out soon after, but these are the titles that will certainly be available through the Christmas season, making them some of the most important games of the year.

The first and most obvious thing you will notice when you fire up a PS4 is the upgrade in graphics. That also makes the visuals one of the easiest things to focus on with the next gen games, at least until we’ve spent some time with the consoles and the games and really tested them to see what they can do. With that in mind check out the 20 PS4 launch titles, each with an accompanying screenshot. There will be a few others available to download as well, but these are the ones we are keeping a close eye on. As with the PS4, all the games on this list will be released on November 15.

The Sony PlayStation 5 has been on the market for a few years now -- and although it may not be the world’s fastest console, it’s a significant upgrade over the PlayStation 4. With a whole new architecture, superior resolution support, and faster storage thanks to the SSD, the PS5 console is better than the PS4 in almost every way.

From specs to design details to its expected game lineup, we know everything there is to know about the next-generation console. There’s a lot to talk about here, so let’s waste no time in comparing PS4 vs. PS5.

PlayStation VR2’s best launch game isn’t the one you we’re expecting

With the PlayStation VR2 out now, all eyes are on Horizon Call of the Mountain. The action-adventure title is Sony’s first big exclusive for the platform, acting as its tentpole launch title. While it’s a must-buy for anyone picking up the device on day one, it's more successful as a strong technical showcase for the headset rather than as a fun game that stands on its own. If you’re looking for the latter, you’ll want to check out PSVR2’s real hidden weapon: Fantavision 202X.
