The head of PlayStation Studios Hermen Hulst last week announced there are over 25 first-party games in development for the PlayStation 5. Nearly half of these games are based on brand new IPs.
Christian Svensson, vice president and head of global third-party relations at PlayStation, via his LinkedIn profile teased upcoming PlayStation 5 third-party games.
"Just wait until you see what’s coming from our third-party partners too," said Svensson.
Confirmed upcoming timed exclusive third-party games for the PlayStation 5 include Final Fantasy XVI, Kena: Bridge of Spirits, and Forspoken. Sony had also worked out a deal with Bethesda before the Microsoft acquisition for GhostWire: Tokyo and Deathloop.

Well this tease doesn`t even mention being partnership or exclusives, just that they are third party, so yes there will be plenty of games to come.
Competition is great for the industry
Plenty of talk, show us the action.
right? Like of course we wanna see some action and some success, but it's not like Sony hasn't delivered consistently since 1994. Well, they had that 2006-2009 stretch that was pretty bad, but aside from that it's been great! and the past few years (since 2017) have been especially good!
Some people just like stirring the pot, as it were.
"I think we can take their word for it at this point. "
I'm sure they've got third party games in the pipeline but not all of their announcements resulted in a game releasing: Deep Down and Eight Days come to mind. And some of their hyped-up games have ultimately disappointed: No Man's Sky and Shenmue 3 for example.
Deep Down and etc isn't on them...or just on them. Capcom should take some blame as well. Also it doesn't negate the fact that games are coming to the PlayStation system. Regardless if it's first party exclusives or third party. Sony normally delivers on the games front. Btw NMS and Shenmue 3 maybe disappointments, but they released. We're not talking about the quality of the games here. It's whether or not games are coming is the question.
