All of the post-release content has been added free of charge, adding new reasons to return to the release on a semi-regular basis.<\/p>\n<p>If you missed out on the award-winning Team ASOBI platformer at launch, you\u2019ll be buying into a much bigger overall adventure today. And that\u2019s not to take away from the day one offering either: this was a complete experience upon release \u2013 all of the extras added since are simply the icing on the cake.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019ve seen similarly superb support for a variety of other PlayStation games, too, like God of War Ragnarok which added the outstanding Valhalla for free. The platform holder actually undersold this essential roguelike game mode, which not only bridged the story between mythologies, but also served up some of the best combat encounters in the game.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"picture\"><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"scanlines\" title=\"Reaction: Sony's PS5 Games Keep Getting Better After Launch, And Often for Free 3\" href=\"https:\/\/images.pushsquare.com\/97e3536d9cf9f\/reaction-sonys-ps5-games-keep-getting-better-after-launch-and-often-for-free-3.large.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/images.pushsquare.com\/97e3536d9cf9f\/reaction-sonys-ps5-games-keep-getting-better-after-launch-and-often-for-free-3.450x.jpg 450w, https:\/\/images.pushsquare.com\/97e3536d9cf9f\/reaction-sonys-ps5-games-keep-getting-better-after-launch-and-often-for-free-3.900x.jpg\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 799px) 450px, (min-width: 800px)\" src=\"https:\/\/images.pushsquare.com\/97e3536d9cf9f\/reaction-sonys-ps5-games-keep-getting-better-after-launch-and-often-for-free-3.900x.jpg\" width=\"900\" height=\"506\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"Reaction: Sony's PS5 Games Keep Getting Better After Launch, And Often for Free 3\"><\/a><\/figure>\n<div class=\"insert-label centered insert lazyload for-mobile insert-extended lazyload\">\n<div id=\"PS_MPU_X_U6879F6F5861FD\" style=\"min-width:300px; min-height:250px\" data-dfp-id=\"pushsquare\/mobile_web_display\/article\" data-dfp-sizes=\"300x250,300x600\" data-dfp-targeting=\"pos=1,gto=false,experiment=nl-article-mobile-2\" class=\"lazyload\" data-prebid-config=\"Lazy_Load_HP_MPU\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>And we\u2019ve seen similar additions and improvements to the likes of Stellar Blade, Marvel\u2019s Spider-Man 2, and many more \u2013 all of which have added great content updates, with new outfits to unlock and gameplay free of charge. Who could forget Ghost of Tsushima adding an entire online multiplayer mode \u2013 and a good one at that?<\/p>\n<p>Sony gets a lot of criticism, and rightly so. But its post-release support has been exceptional all generation long, and that\u2019s to be applauded.<\/p>\n<p>There are business reasons for its generosity, of course: keeping games in the zeitgeist improves their sales tail, and adds fresh enthusiasm around post-release initiatives, like PC ports.<\/p>\n<p>But the end result for consumers is more of a great game, and that deserves credit.<\/p>\n<p>Yes, the publisher\u2019s release cadence has been a little slower than we would have liked, but at least you know when Sony drops a first-party game, it\u2019s going to be well supported through to its sequel.

From the perspective of John Q. Gamer who just wants more stuff to play, yes it\u2019s great.<\/p>\n<p>From the perspective of the hardcore trophy hunter completionist this post release content is a nightmare. I never know what unappealing, extraneous modes will be shoehorned into a game I\u2019ve already spent time and effort 100%+Platinum\u2019ing, only to be forced to replay something I\u2019ve already buried and moved on from. Double that hatred if devs add a mode to a game that\u2019s utterly unlike anything in the base game, like that roguelite trash in TLoU2 Remaster or Ragnarok or the low IQ wave survival slop in Uncharted 4 or Ghost of Tsushima.<\/p>\n<p>Astrobot is the closest to an acceptable rollout of post release content, largely because it adheres so closely to the base game as to be almost indistinguishable. Even so, I already finished that and now I have to return to it. That\u2019s not a good feeling. This is like finally finishing the lawn mowing on your huge property and someone comes and plants some bushes and says \u2018Now go back and trim those\u2019. Not fun. If these devs would only skip adding any new trophies when pushing this stuff out post release, it would solve all the aforementioned problems.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<ul class=\"ui-comment-tools\">\n<li class=\"likes first last\">0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<article class=\"comment\" id=\"comment8742208\" data-author=\"users\/339587\" data-subject=\"comments\/8742208\" data-dislikes=\"0\" data-id=\"8742208\">\n<p class=\"avatar\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"framed lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/static.pushsquare.com\/themes\/base\/images\/avatar.svg\" width=\"80\" height=\"80\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"Rich33\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"detail\">\n<ul class=\"info\">\n<li class=\" first\"><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"num\" rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"features\/reaction-sonys-ps5-games-keep-getting-better-after-launch-and-often-for-free#comment8742208\">10<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Rich33<\/li>\n<li class=\" last\"><time data-days=\"5\" class=\"date age \" datetime=\"2025-07-17T19:48:19+00:00\">Yesterday, 8:48pm<\/time><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<section class=\"text\">\n<p>The fact that they add this content without even nominal charge sometimes is very refreshing in this day and age of selling simple costumes for absurd amounts of money.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<ul class=\"ui-comment-tools\">\n<li class=\"likes first last\">2<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<article class=\"comment\" id=\"comment8742210\" data-author=\"users\/299908\" data-subject=\"comments\/8742210\" data-dislikes=\"0\" data-id=\"8742210\">\n<p class=\"avatar\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"framed lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/static.pushsquare.com\/themes\/base\/images\/avatar.svg\" width=\"80\" height=\"80\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"RoomWithaMoose\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"detail\">\n<ul class=\"info\">\n<li class=\" first\"><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"num\" rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"features\/reaction-sonys-ps5-games-keep-getting-better-after-launch-and-often-for-free#comment8742210\">11<\/a><\/li>\n<li>RoomWithaMoose<\/li>\n<li class=\" last\"><time data-days=\"5\" class=\"date age \" datetime=\"2025-07-17T19:49:57+00:00\">Yesterday, 8:49pm<\/time><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<section class=\"text\">\n<p>@Oram77 Astro Bot&#8217;s post launch support was great.

I&#8217;d wager there are more people excited for new trophies to hunt than people lamenting their existence.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<ul class=\"ui-comment-tools\">\n<li class=\"likes first last\">3<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<article class=\"comment\" id=\"comment8742239\" data-author=\"users\/322563\" data-subject=\"comments\/8742239\" data-dislikes=\"0\" data-id=\"8742239\">\n<p class=\"avatar\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"framed lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/static.pushsquare.com\/themes\/base\/images\/avatar.svg\" width=\"80\" height=\"80\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"Drago201\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"detail\">\n<ul class=\"info\">\n<li class=\" first\"><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"num\" rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"features\/reaction-sonys-ps5-games-keep-getting-better-after-launch-and-often-for-free#comment8742239\">15<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Drago201<\/li>\n<li class=\" last\"><time data-days=\"5\" class=\"date age \" datetime=\"2025-07-17T20:08:59+00:00\">Yesterday, 9:08pm<\/time><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<section class=\"text\">\n<p>What the hell who&#8217;s that 2 percent voting very poor \ud83d\ude33<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<ul class=\"ui-comment-tools\">\n<li class=\"likes first last\">2<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<article class=\"comment\" id=\"comment8742258\" data-author=\"users\/346142\" data-subject=\"comments\/8742258\" data-dislikes=\"1\" data-id=\"8742258\">\n<p class=\"avatar\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"framed lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/static.pushsquare.com\/themes\/base\/images\/avatar.svg\" width=\"80\" height=\"80\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"lazarus11\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"detail\">\n<ul class=\"info\">\n<li class=\" first\"><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"num\" rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"features\/reaction-sonys-ps5-games-keep-getting-better-after-launch-and-often-for-free#comment8742258\">16<\/a><\/li>\n<li>lazarus11<\/li>\n<li class=\" last\"><time data-days=\"5\" class=\"date age \" datetime=\"2025-07-17T20:28:05+00:00\">Yesterday, 9:28pm<\/time><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<section class=\"text\">\n<p>Game pass mentality, ill wait till its on gamepass , or in this case ill wait till they add more content , same with ubi games , a lot of people won&#8217;t buy at launch because the games are generally half price in a few months , if not less.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<ul class=\"ui-comment-tools\">\n<li class=\"likes first last\">0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<article class=\"comment\" id=\"comment8742263\" data-author=\"users\/342504\" data-subject=\"comments\/8742263\" data-dislikes=\"0\" data-id=\"8742263\">\n<p class=\"avatar\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"framed lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/images.pushsquare.com\/users\/342504\/avatar.jpg?v=1721653637\" width=\"80\" height=\"80\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"Oram77\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"detail\">\n<ul class=\"info\">\n<li class=\" first\"><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"num\" rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"features\/reaction-sonys-ps5-games-keep-getting-better-after-launch-and-often-for-free#comment8742263\">17<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Oram77<\/li>\n<li class=\" last\"><time data-days=\"5\" class=\"date age \" datetime=\"2025-07-17T20:32:30+00:00\">Yesterday, 9:32pm<\/time><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<section class=\"text\">\n<p>@RoomWithaMoose At the end of the day, it was free content (forgot many levels it was in the end)<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<ul class=\"ui-comment-tools\">\n<li class=\"likes first last\">0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<article class=\"comment\" id=\"comment8742288\" data-author=\"users\/355660\" data-subject=\"comments\/8742288\" data-dislikes=\"1\" data-id=\"8742288\">\n<p class=\"avatar\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"framed lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/images.pushsquare.com\/users\/355660\/avatar.jpg?v=1750917892\" width=\"80\" height=\"80\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"SeaDaVie\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"detail\">\n<ul class=\"info\">\n<li class=\" first\"><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"num\" rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"features\/reaction-sonys-ps5-games-keep-getting-better-after-launch-and-often-for-free#comment8742288\">18<\/a><\/li>\n<li>SeaDaVie<\/li>\n<li class=\" last\"><time data-days=\"5\" class=\"date age \" datetime=\"2025-07-17T20:53:21+00:00\">Yesterday, 9:53pm<\/time><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<section class=\"text\">\n<p>You forgot Returnal, which was a Valhalla level update.
