God of War 2 and Gran Turismo 7 will be cross-gen

Not only Horizon Forbidden West, other exclusives planned for the future will also arrive on both consoles.

Not only Horizon Forbidden West, but other upcoming Sony exclusives will also arrive on PlayStation 4 as well as on PlayStation 5. In the latest PlayStation Blog article, Hermen Hulst confirmed that the follow-up to 2018's God of War and Gran Turismo 7 will be cross-gen.

In the same speech in which the postponement of the new Kratos adventure was announced, the spokesman for the Japanese giant confirmed the release of the two games for both consoles. Hulst motivates this decision as follows: “You can't build a community of over 110 million PlayStation 4 owners and then walk away from it, right? So I think it would have been bad news for PS4 fans and, frankly, it wouldn't have been a great deal ”.

For the boss of PlayStation Studios, therefore, “where it makes sense to develop a game for both PS4 and PlayStation 5, as in the case of Horizon Forbidden West, the upcoming God of War and Gran Turismo 7, then we will continue to follow this path. And if PS4 owners want to play those titles, they can, knowing that if they want to continue the adventure on PS5, that game will be there for them. That said, it's also very important to have some great PS5 exclusives, hence the development of Returnal and Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart “. In short, the path taken by Sony seems to have been decided. Cross-gen games on the one hand, PlayStation 5 exclusives on the other.
