Despite PS5 Hits, Sony Sinks to 21st in Metacritic's Publisher Rankings
Sony's average Metascore dropped significantly, placing them 21st in Metacritic's publisher rankings for 2025, a steep decline from fourth place in 2024. While games like Death Stranding 2 and Ghost of Yotei received high praise, the inclusion of Destiny 2 expansions and the underperforming Lost Soul Aside negatively impacted Sony's overall score.
