It is currently difficult to get hold of a brand new PS5. Are you one of the players who haven’t yet managed to get their hands on the next gen console? So we have some info to console you: according to the CEO Sony, the potential of the PS5 will not be exploited anytime soon.
During an interview granted to the media Tass.com, Sony CEO Jim Ryan made a startling statement. According to him, the full power of the new PS5 will not be exploited until 2022. Relatively good news for all players who have not yet managed to get their hands on the next-gen console.
2022
This is, however, quite usual. For each console, it takes a few months before the development studios manage to exploit all the capabilities of a console. But 2022 is still late.
History shows that the developers only progressed in the second or third year. They usually need some time to get used to the material. So, it will probably be in 2022 that gamers will see wonderful things like 2015 or 2016 in the previous generation.

But we can therefore legitimately ask the following question: why buy all the big games announced in 2021 as Gran Turismo 7, God of War 2 Where Horizon Forbidden West if they will not exploit the potential of the console? Jim Ryan’s strange strategy for promoting future console games. Should we expect poorly optimized games? We can doubt it since the first games already released on the console are already visually impressive and offer performance never seen on console such as 120 frames per second.
So yes, the games will be much better than on PS4 but it looks like we will have to wait until 2022 for all the studios to reach the same level of mastery of the new Sony console.
