Sony has said in an investor’s meeting that they will support PlayStation 4 at least until 2023. Jim Ryan stated in an investor’s meeting, “We anticipate the PS4 will have the longest tail and deepest engagement of any of our platforms. There are a number of reasons why we believe this will be the case” So basically, PlayStation
4’s Life-Cycle will be very long. It could even be longer than PlayStation 2’s Life Cycle at this point. PlayStation 4 is a very important factor for Developers. This is a great thing because it has become near impossible to get a PlayStation 5 nowadays. However, you can expect this stock shortage to stop by at least 2022 because Sony has registered a new PlayStation 5 model, and
it could even end up solving earlier than that because Jim Ryan recently stated that he expects Stocks to return to normal before the end of the second half of 2021.
Jim Ryan later stated, “Secondly, the lineup of new software for PS4 for FY21 and FY22 is extremely robust.
Publishers understand the opportunity the large and very engaged community offers and will exploit it. and then said, “Great new PS4 releases and an expansive catalogue mean that we expect the PS4 to account for 70% of next year’s store spend despite the growing install base of the PS5.”
This is an amazing thing for People who are unable to get a PlayStation 5 for now because basically what this means is that they will try to make more games Cross-Gen as well. For example, Horizon Forbidden West is Cross-Gen, but God of War Ragnarok is not. I think it is up to the developers. Some want to create cross-gen experiences, and some might want to create a completely next-gen experience.

The PS4's had a great run, but we think Sony looks to leave the console for good by 2025. Let's explore why.

Sony expects big things from the PlayStation 5. The console is expected to beat the PS4's lifetime sales and Sony is preparing the largest-ever shipment of consoles for next fiscal year. However, the PS4's mighty 116.4 million install base will continue being a tentpole for PlayStation earnings from now through 2023.
In a recent investor's meeting, Sony Interactive President Jim Ryan details just how important the PS4 is to Sony's continued success. Sony expects the PS4 to have the largest tail of any PlayStation console, and the PS4 will deliver a whopping 70% of PS Store spending in FY2022. This is the same year Sony will release a record-breaking 14.8 million+ PS5s onto the market.
Even as the PlayStation 5 is about to turn a profit, Sony says the PS4 will still remain the top earner through 2023.
"We anticipate the PS4 will have the longest tail and deepest engagement of any our platforms. There are a number of reasons why we believe this will be the case," Ryan said.
"First, we anticipate that we will be able to retain many of the engagement gains that were made in 2020 during COVID and work-from-home.
"Secondly, the line up of new software for PS4 for FY21 and FY22 is extremely robust. Publishers understand the opportunity the large and very engaged community offers, and will exploit it.
"Third, the explosive growth of the free-to-play category is perfectly-timed for the late life cycle gamer.
"And finally, our PlayStation Plus subscription service provides us with an extremely efficient means in communicating with our large community.
"Great new PS4 releases and an expansive catalog mean that we expect the PS4 to account for 70% of next year's store spend despite the growing install base of the PS5."
Sony previously said it plans to support the PlayStation 4 until at least 2023 and it's possible cross-gen releases could come after that too.
3So far no big publisher is ready to make next-gen console exclusives and abandon the PS4's mighty install base.
Activision released on last-gen with CoD in 2020, and will likely do the same for 2021. EA is releasing all of its games on PS4 including Battlefield 6, and so is Ubisoft and Take-Two Interactive. Next-gen versions are indeed coming, but games won't be exclusive outside of first-party titles.

Will PS4 get games in 2023?
Dead Space - 27th January 2023. Resident Evil 4 - 24th March 2023. Trails to Azure - Early 2023. Final Fantasy XVI - Summer 2023.
How long PS4 will be supported?
We speculate that the PS4 will be discontinued in 2025 at the earliest. This might come as a surprise given the lifespan of the PS2 and the PS3. The PS2 first launched in Japan on March 4, 2000 and was discontinued worldwide on January 4, 2013, giving it about a 13-year lifespan.
How long till PS4 is phased out?
In Sony's latest financial presentation, the company formalized its plan to cease producing games for the PlayStation 4 by 2025. Legacy games will still be purchasable, but there won't be new ones – their focus will shift entirely to the PlayStation 5.
What will happen with PS4 in 2023?
In 2023 it will struggle with the new, high end graphics that the games by then will be using. As always it depends on what you play. If it's the older stuff that you can find aplenty on PlayStation Plus Extra 👇 it will still cope. The 18 new games are available to download now…
