We've been hearing for a while that Sony is gearing up for a new PlayStation showcase ahead of Summer Game Fest next month. Just like previous years, it looks like Sony will be holding its summer showcase in late May, revealing the next wave of major titles for the PS5, …

Summer Game Fest is just a couple of weeks away. With E3 now officially cancelled for good, Summer Game Fest has cemented its position as the new go-to summer event for game announcements. This year's show will see over 55 partners being involved, ranging from smaller indie companies and gaming-adjacent software makers, to the biggest publishers in the industry. 

Ghost of Tsushima has finally arrived on PC, and as expected, it's a success. With a peak concurrent player count of over 77,000, it's already PlayStation's most successful single-player game to launch on Steam. Following its debut on Steam on May 16th in its Director's Cut form, Ghost of Tsushima …

With Ghost of Tsushima recently landing on PC, I have been looking back at Sucker Punch’s 2020 PS4 swan song and analysing exactly why I think the game managed to stand out from the crowd of open world titles, with this analysis discussing the purposeful and creatively-dense sounds, sensations and subtleties of Ghost of Tsushima...

Earlier this year, Microsoft announced plans to bring four previously exclusive games to rival consoles for the first time. So far, this has led to Hi-Fi Rush, Sea of Thieves, Pentiment and Grounded all going to PlayStation or Switch (or both in some cases). Now, it appears Microsoft is planning …

Gamma, a new PS1 emulator for iOS devices, has become one of the most downloaded apps in the App Store.

The sci-fi shooter from Arrowhead is one of PlayStation's fastest selling games ever, but also faces controversy over PSN account linking and delisting.

Jason Blundell is a well known name within the Call of Duty community. His reign as the head of COD Zombies at Treyarch had him oversee some of the series’ most successful entries. After departing the studio, Blundell founded Deviation Games and was working on a PlayStation exclusive. This never …

The release of Ghost of Tsushima back in 2020 put PlayStation studio Sucker Punch Productions on the map, elevating them to the upper echelon of first-party PlayStation developers. While fans eagerly await the inevitable release of Ghost of Tsushima 2, it seems as though the studio might actually have multiple …

The same leaker who revealed that Ghost of Tsushima: Director's Cut would be coming to PC has now revealed the next major PlayStation game set to make the jump. Given that Horizon: Forbidden West came to PC earlier this year, it should come as no surprise that Sony's other major 2022 exclusive, God of War: Ragnarök, is next on the list. 

The team at Arrowhead had quite the weekend, after scrambling to reverse a crucial decision from the game's publisher, Sony. In the immediate aftermath of PSN account linking being announced, it came to light that thousands of people had bought Helldivers 2 in countries where PSN is unavailable. To fix …

Helldivers 2 has made plenty of headlines since launch but it was finding itself in the spotlight for all the wrong reasons last week. On Friday, Arrowhead and Sony announced plans to require PSN accounts in the PC version of the game, despite the fact that the game was sold …

The community at large turned against Sony over the weekend, after it was announced that PSN accounts would soon be enforced in the PC version of Helldivers 2. While creating a free account sounds easy at first, it quickly came to light that the game had been sold to thousands …

It tends to take a lot for gamers to 'forgive' a studio after messing up a launch, for instance CD Projekt Red had to spend three additional years developing Cyberpunk 2077 before many were willing to give the game another shot. In the case of Helldivers 2, despite the game having some rough server issues at launch, the game turned out to be so good that many players simply waited things out, without leaving a trail of negative reviews. Now, a case of incredibly poor communication and a poorly thought-out plan from the game's publisher, Sony, has put Helldivers 2 in jeopardy, with the game being removed from over 170 countries. 

A couple years ago Sony revamped its PlayStation Plus subscription service with new tiers including PS Plus Extra – which serves essentially like Xbox’s Game Pass. Though day-one first-party additions are absent, a good number of PlayStation games have been added over time. Surprisingly, Guerrilla Games’ Horizon Zero Dawn is …

As they do each month, Sony gives away a number of titles to all those with a PlayStation Plus subscription. Available to keep forever and play as long as you are actively subscribed, May’s monthly PS Plus titles have now been revealed. Making the announcement on the PlayStation Blog, the …

Back in February, Arrowhead Studios hit it big with Helldivers 2, reaching the top of both the Steam and PlayStation charts. In the months since, the team have continuously updated the game with new and free content. It therefore comes as little surprise that Helldivers 2 has already become the …

SteelSeries recently unveiled a new white version of its highly acclaimed Arctis Nova Pro Wireless headset. This new headset iteration is similar to its black counterpart but has one significant update to its ANC microphones. While the headset is white, the included DAC/wireless receiver will be black.  The updated ANC …

3 years ago, Returnal released on PS5 – a fast-paced action-heavy arcadey and mysterious 3rd person rogue-lite shooter. Since then, Housemarque have updated the game with a ton of new features, content and even a co-op multiplayer option. Celebrating the game’s 3rd anniversary, the team have announced a bunch of …

Team Ninja have had a pretty close relationship with Sony over the years, developing console exclusives Nioh and its sequel Nioh 2 – both of which were published by PlayStation. Their latest release – Rise of the Ronin – has been out now for just over a month, and according …

Sucker Punch Productions has always been one of PlayStation studios’ lesser-appreciated dev teams, with the Washington-based company releasing some of the most underrated games over the past many generations – including the excellent InFamous series. The team finally received their well-deserved flowers with the release of Ghost of Tsushima back in 2020 for the PlayStation 4. With the title finally set to come to PC, I wish to share with you just some of the MANY reasons as to why even in 2024, Ghost of Tsushima just hits DIFFERENT.

Housemarque is one of the more out-there first-party PlayStation studios, with the Finnish developers known best for their work on 2021’s excellent 3rd person rogue-lite shooter Returnal. Since the title’s last major update in 2023 the team have been relatively silent…until now. Teasing fans on Twitter, the team at Housemarque …

After much anticipation and a great deal of waiting, Fallout 4’s ‘next-gen’ update finally released last week. The ‘free’ update had issues on PlayStation Plus Extra however – though this was eventually fixed. Those who owned FO4 through the PS Plus Collection however were still unable to upgrade. Fortunately, this …

Starting development all the way back in 2016 as a one-man project, Lost Soul Aside has been eagerly anticipated by many thanks to its Final Fantasy Versus XIII (later FFXV) inspired visuals and flashy action combat. Over the years, the game’s ambitions grew, and so did the team, sitting at …

With the rapid rate of technological progress over the decades, many older games no longer hold up to current day TVs and monitors both technically and technologically. In some instances, even modern systems are far behind the curve of video output, with a number of Nintendo Switch titles turning into a bit of a blurry/aliased mess when blown up on a big screen. This is where the mClassic comes in: a HDMI-based hardware upscaler offering “Real-Time Redrawing of Each and Every Pixel.”

The Gran Turismo series is no stranger to adding odd or unique vehicles to its games. From concept cars to a moon rover, Polyphony Digital manages to show its appreciation to vehicles of all sorts. As part of GT7’s latest update, Sony’s own currently-unreleased Afeela Prototype can now be driven. …

As part of the PlayStation 5’s launch, Sony offered 20 PS4 titles for free to all those with a PlayStation Plus subscription. One of the included games was Fallout 4 (since then also finding its way onto PS Plus Extra). With FO4’s next-gen update finally available to download and play, …

Media Molecule is one of PlayStation’s most unique studios, focusing on highly artful/experimental titles, with an emphasis on creativity.
