PlayStation 5 Gamers should note that this coming Monday, December 8 is going to be an unusually busy day for the platform, as five new games are all launching at the same time. Sony's PlayStation 5 is already one of the most successful video game consoles of all time, and when it's all said and done, it could potentially surpass the PS4's sales numbers. Sony has been able to sell so many PS5 consoles because almost every major video game release is readily available on the system.
New PS5 games are regularly released every month, from big-budget exclusives to blockbuster third-party titles and an endless supply of indies. While new PS5 games drop almost every week, most games are spread out enough so that there aren't all dropping at once. The exception to that rule is this coming Monday, December 8, which will see the release of five new PS5 games on the exact same day. How this might affect their sales is unclear, but it's certainly an interesting lineup of games to be released on December 8.

Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 One of the more notable PS5 games to be released on December 8, as it will actually be published by Xbox Game Studios. For those unfamiliar with the game, Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 It is exactly as its name suggests – an updated flight simulator where players fly planes and other aircraft around the world. It didn't earn the same level of acclaim as its immediate predecessor, but it's still a great simulation experience for aviation enthusiasts to check out. This has made another Xbox game jump to the PS5, which is always interesting to see.
Skate storyIn the meantime, many of the new PS5 games coming out on December 8 may very well be played. That's because Skate story A Day is a PS Plus Extra game, meaning members of that tier of service will be able to play it in full without paying anything beyond what they already paid for their subscription.
Yakuza Kiwami and Kiwami 2 While the PS5 will feature enhanced graphics and performance Yakuza 0: Director's Cut It will be all that and more. Yakuza 0: Director's Cut Includes new cutscenes, an online multiplayer mode called Red Light Raid, and other content not available in the original version of the game. It's a bit more substantial and might be enough to convince fans who have already played Yakuza 0 To revisit it on PS5.
What makes December 8th even more unusual when it comes to new PS5 games dropping that day is that it's a Monday. Most of the time, new video game releases fall on Tuesdays and Fridays, and sometimes on Thursdays. It's certainly unusual that all of these games are dropping on a Monday, but it should make for a more exciting Monday than what PS5 gamers are used to.
