Sony has not yet released an official statement regarding the 2024 PlayStation Wrap-Up, so there is currently no information as to when it might become properly available to players, but the webpage assures that it will return soon. There is nothing to indicate a potential reason for the ongoing Wrap-Up setback, but it may have something to do with this one celebratingthe 30th anniversary of PlayStation, which is likely to bring some extra flourish.
PlayStation has done a lot to celebrate its 30th anniversary this year in general, from online store sales to an exclusive line of PS5 consoles and merchandise and even a set of nostalgic limited-time system menu themes. Some of Sony’s major exclusives this year also served as something of an homage to its storied gaming history, especiallythe acclaimed platformerAstro Bot,which is full of references to iconic PlayStation franchises.
Sony’s other console exclusives have also done well for themselves this year, withFinal Fantasy 7 Rebirthreceiving multiple nods at The Game AwardsandStellar Bladeenjoying similar acclaim, both of which have yet to launch on any other platform. For those looking to catch up on some of PlayStation’s high-profile exclusives, the PlayStation Store is still offering a massive sale on a wide array of games, both first-party and otherwise.
