When Sony held their initial PlayStation 4 reveal in New York in February, the platform holder boasted there were 126 developers currently making games for the console. That wasn’t exactly a modest amount, but it pales into insignificance when compared to the current figure.
In a press release [via] issued during E3 this last week, Sony claimed there are now 505 developers making games for the system, which is a massive increase.
Sadly the statement doesn’t list which new developers are on board, and whilst we’re sure not every game will end up being a triple-A blockbuster it’s hard hard to imagine that there’s going to be a good chunk of great titles in there.
Sony has been touting the likes of Bungie’s Destiny (which got its gameplay reveal during Sony’s pre-E3 conference) and support from Square Enix and Ubisoft, with the total of confirmed games currently at 110. Sony’s first parties have 30 games in development, and 12 are new IPs (like Ready At Dawn’s The Order: 1886).
20 of those games will be available within twelve months of launch.

You can’t deny the way greenlight on steam has helped small dev’s to show there content. Hopefully Sony has seen this too, and creates a similar system. Let us know what the dev’s are doing and keep us up to date with new indie titles.

Great news if it is actually 505 developers.

Great news for us, and for Sony. I reckon a good number of those are Indies, but who can blame them with what the PS4 should offer. Overall, I can’t fricking wait for November, this will be my first day one console buy!!
