Insomniac is doing a lot of hard work padding the PS5’s library.
After having skipped the E3 and Gamescom shows, Sony has finally held its big showcase event. Considering the company’s slate over the next six months was looking bare, we were expecting some decently-sized announcements. The PlayStation Showcase not only had updates on previously announced games like God of War: Ragnarok, but it had some new games to announce, too. Here are all the games it revealed at the event.
