PlayStation 4’s swan-song lineup is stacked, and gameranx just ranked all 30 games worth clearing a shelf for.

With the PS5 still months from a reveal date, Sony’s install base spent early 2020 getting one more genuinely loaded release calendar. Gameranx’s “Top 30 NEW PS4 Games of 2020” countdown runs through the exclusives, third-party heavyweights, and long-gestating indies studios were pushing out the door before the console generation flips. The list mixes games already on shelves with others still carrying “TBA 2020” next to their release windows.

• Persona 5 Royal launched March 31, 2020, just days before this ranking went up, while Nioh 2 (March 13) and MLB The Show 20 (March 17) had already shipped.
• Predator: Hunting Grounds is locked for April 24, 2020 on PS4 and PC, with Project Sakura Wars following four days later on April 28.
• Camouflaj’s Marvel’s Iron Man VR is dated for May 15, 2020, rounding out the confirmed near-term releases on the countdown.

The Games Already on the Board

A surprising chunk of the countdown wasn’t hypothetical by early April — it was already sitting in players’ libraries. Media Molecule’s Dreams launched February 14, 2020, giving PS4 owners a full creation suite for building games, music, and art inside the engine itself. CyberConnect2’s Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot had been out since January 17, and Arc System Works’ anime fighter Granblue Fantasy: Versus shipped March 3.

Team Ninja’s Nioh 2 arrived March 13 with its half-yokai protagonist and brutal Souls-style combat, and Sony San Diego’s MLB The Show 20 followed four days later on March 17. Atlus capped the run with Persona 5 Royal on March 31 — an expanded re-release of the 2016 JRPG with new characters, a new semester of story content, and mechanical tweaks layered on top of the original.

The Spring Push Still Coming

The countdown’s next stretch belongs to titles with firm dates still on the calendar as of this writing. IllFonic’s Predator: Hunting Grounds is set for April 24, 2020 on PS4 and PC — an asymmetrical shooter built around a squad of soldiers trying to survive against a cloaked, invisible hunter. Four days later, Sega’s Project Sakura Wars lands on April 28.

Camouflaj’s Marvel’s Iron Man VR closes out the spring window on May 15, 2020, built specifically to showcase PlayStation VR’s motion tracking with Tony Stark’s repulsors doing the flying.

Across the countdown, studios were making their final major software push for the PS4 hardware cycle.

The Titles Still Without a Hard Date

Several of the countdown’s higher-profile entries were still marked “TBA 2020” at the time of the video. Giant Squid’s mythic adventure The Pathless and Wild Sheep Studio’s long-in-development WiLD both sit in that category, alongside Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio’s Yakuza: Like a Dragon, which swaps the series’ brawling combat for a turn-based system. Ubisoft’s Beyond Good & Evil 2 and Skull & Bones round out the publisher’s open-ended entries, while V1 Interactive’s sci-fi tactical shooter Disintegration and People Can Fly’s Outriders — the latter targeting Q4 2020 — represent the cross-platform side of the list heading into the PS5 transition.

Ubisoft’s fantasy action title Gods & Monsters also appears without a locked release window, part of a broader stretch of the countdown built more on confirmed development than confirmed dates.

The next checkpoint on the calendar is April 24 — Predator: Hunting Grounds goes live on PS4 and PC, with Project Sakura Wars trailing it by exactly four days. Anyone tracking this list off the video should circle both dates before Iron Man VR closes out the spring on May 15.
