It might be a good idea to list the most notable current gen only games, since there are just not that many of them lol.

Baldur's Gate 3, Astro Bot, FF7 Rebirth, Donkey Kong Bananza, Spider-Man 2, Death Stranding 2, Tekken 8, Indiana Jones, Rift Apart, Monster Hunter Wilds, Dragon's Dogma 2, Final Fantasy 16, Silent Hill 2 Remake, MGS Delta, Returnal, STALKER 2, Mario Kart World, Stellar Blade, Starfield, Helldivers 2, Forza Motorsport, Avowed, Hellblade 2, Wukong, Honkai Star Rail, Zenless Zone Zero, Wuthering Waves. What am I missing?

Good idea; I'm finding it strangely difficult to find a good list online.

Yours is the best I've found so far, every other one seems to randomly throw in crossgen games as if the author's too stupid to understand what "current gem exclusive" means.

My list is still bad as it's mainly titles off the top of my head. I somehow forgot about 4 of the best ones and GOTY contenders: Clair Obscur, Split Fiction, Alan Wake 2 and Kingdom Come Deliverance 2.

Other notable games:

Assassin's Creed Shadows, Star Wars Outlaws, Dragon Age The Veilguard, Dead Space Remake, Hell is Us, and of course... the venerable MindsEye.

And Demon's Souls, TloU Part 1, Ghostwire Tokyo, Deathloop, Hi-Fi Rush, Microsoft Flight Simulator, Cronos, The Medium, Pacific Drive, Phantom Liberty (expansion), and more! The list isn't as small as I remember.
