PlayStation 5 owners, get ready! This Monday, December 8th, will be a big day with five new games releasing all at once. The PS5 is already a hugely popular console, and it might even end up selling more units than the PlayStation 4. A key reason for its success is that almost every major game is available on the PS5.
Every month, a variety of new games become available for the PlayStation 5 – from major exclusive titles and popular games from other companies, to a constant stream of independent games. Usually, these games are released throughout the month, but next Monday, December 8th, will be different. Five new PS5 games are launching on the same day, which is unusual. It’s hard to say how this will affect sales, but it’s a noteworthy collection of games coming out all at once.
PS5 players have a lot to look forward to this month! Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 is coming to the console, along with the unique skateboarding game Skate Story, and not just one, but three Yakuza games. Yakuza 0: Director’s Cut, previously planned as a Switch 2 exclusive, will launch on December 8th, alongside native PS5 versions of Yakuza Kiwami and Kiwami 2 – excellent remakes of the original Yakuza/Like a Dragon games from the PlayStation 2. While some Yakuza titles are already playable on PS5, these native releases will offer an even better experience.
New PS5 Games Releasing on December 8
- Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024
- Skate Story
- Yakuza 0: Director’s Cut
- Yakuza Kiwami
- Yakuza Kiwami 2
Releasing on December 8th, Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 is a key PS5 title, published by Xbox Game Studios. As the name suggests, it’s an updated version of the popular flight simulator, letting players pilot various aircraft around the globe. While it hasn’t received quite the same acclaim as the previous edition, it still offers a huge and detailed experience for those passionate about aviation. Notably, this is another Xbox game now available on PS5, which is a trend many are watching.
Many players are likely to jump into Skate Story when it launches on December 8th. It’s included as part of the PS Plus Extra subscription, so those subscribers can play the full game at no additional cost beyond their existing subscription fee.
Both Yakuza Kiwami and Kiwami 2 will run better and look sharper on the PS5. Yakuza 0: Director’s Cut will receive these improvements, plus extra content like new cutscenes and a new online multiplayer mode called Red Light Raid. These additions make Yakuza 0: Director’s Cut a significant upgrade, potentially giving players who already enjoyed Yakuza 0 a reason to play it again on PS5.
December 8th is a bit of an odd day for new PS5 games to come out. Typically, games launch on Tuesdays or Fridays, with Thursdays being less common. Having so many releases all on a Monday is unusual, but it’s sure to make it a great day for PS5 players!
