We suppose some pedantic readers may argue Bloodborne and Death Stranding are not first-party games, as Sony doesn't own the developers that made them. While this is technically true, platform holders generally consider the titles they publish to be first-party.
In the case of Bloodborne, the Japanese giant still wholly owns the FromSoftware favourite. Death Stranding was later ported to PC and, earlier this year, Xbox Series X|S – and its rights have reverted to Kojima Productions. Nevertheless, at the time of its nomination in 2019, it was very much considered a first-party title.
Irrespective of any caveats and pedantry, this is a remarkable run. Even more incredible is that Sony is highly likely to make it 11 years on the bounce, as we'd be utterly staggered if neither Ghost of Yotei nor Death Stranding 2: On the Beach got nominated in 2025. (Again, as things stand right now, PlayStation is the publisher of Kojima's sequel.)
