There are published games like Ratchet Rift Apart, Demon's Souls or Returnal, and announced ones or the next months like FH5, (and many other ones delayed due to a huge pandeming like) Horizon 2, GT7 and GoWR. In addition to the pandemic, the game development cycles are now longer, so games take longer to be released, so patience is needed.Where are the Next-Gen games that wow all of us?
The best concrete thing we have seen is a short teaser of a game coming out in 2023 that looks better but not this much better.
Let's face it: this next-gen is half assed, the hardware is not powerful enough, especially on the ray tracing side.
On top of that, now it's easier and cheaper to make crossgen games, and the previous generation now has way more active players than the previous generation had at the same point, so devs are more encouraged to make corssgen games.
As a reference, PS4 had around 90M monthly active users a few months after the PS5 release. And PS3 sold 87.4 in all its lifetime, obviously only a part of them were still active after the PS4 launch. More late big releases thanks to crossgen, services like PS Plus, GaaS etc. keep now people more time there.
