But the gadget is still a long way off
Ghost of Tsushima, God of War, and The Last of Us are in for a shock!
Sony has cut about 30% of the staff of Bend Studio, the developer of Days Gone for PlayStation.
Sony is preparing to release a new update to the PlayStation DualSense gamepad later this year that will bring a much-needed feature. Forget about endlessly reconnecting your controller every time you switch devices - it's about to become history.
The latest State of Play show has already received the most views in the history of this series of PlayStation presentations.
One of the most unexpected surprises of the latest PlayStation State of Play presentation was the announcement of Sony's first official fighting game controller, codenamed "Project Defiant". Although details are not very well known at the moment, we have already received a first look at the design, features, and confirmation that it will support both PS5 and PC when it comes out in 2026.
Get your wallets ready, gamers. Reliable insider Billbil-Kun reported that Sony's annual Days of Play discount promotion will start next week, on 28 May. According to him, the discounts will be valid for two weeks and will temporarily reduce prices for PS5 consoles, games, accessories, and PS Plus subscriptions. And the most interesting thing is that this applies even to PlayStation 5 Pro.
Despite its best efforts, Sony has been extremely slow to tap into the mobile market. German developer Neon Koi was shut down before it had even released anything, and the declining PS Mobile division underwent a major reshuffle. However, Sony has a new, ambitious plan: MLB The Show, one of the best-known and best-selling PlayStation series in the US, is preparing for its mobile debut.
The presentation of the gadget is not expected until 2028 at the earliest
In the spring of 2025, sales of gaming consoles in the US continued to fall for the fourth month in a row. However, there is good news: the market is gradually stabilising, and Nintendo is preparing to launch a new console that will change the situation.
The developers at Shift Up said they plan to share "good news" with players soon regarding Stellar Blade's sales situation on PC in the nearly 130 countries where the game is not yet available.
May was not the best month for PS Plus Premium subscribers. Instead of the expected addition to the library of classic games, users received only one new (or rather, well-forgotten old) game - Battle Engine Aquila, a first-person shooter from PS2. Moreover, this month, subscribers will suffer losses, as Sony has inexplicably stopped streaming support for a number of popular PS3 games, including Resistance: Fall of Man.
Fans of the stylish action game Stellar Blade who are waiting for its release on PC next month can breathe a sigh of relief: the game will not require a mandatory PlayStation Network (PSN) account, according to Sony's recently revised policy. Although syncing your account will give the character of Eva an additional costume, it will be a completely voluntary step, not a prerequisite. However, there is a nuance.
It looks like things are not as smooth as they seem in the PlayStation camp. According to Bloomberg, Jade Raymond, the founder of Sony-owned Haven Studio, has unexpectedly left the company. The reasons for her departure were not disclosed, but it happened only a few weeks after the testing of the upcoming live service project for PS5 Fairgames, which was rumoured to have caused concerns among some developers about the quality of the game and the pace of its development.
Fans of Ghost of Tsushima have been eagerly awaiting the sequel, and now Sucker Punch is finally revealing more details about Ghost of Yōtei! The game will take place 300 years after the events of the original, this time on the picturesque island of Ezo (modern Hokkaido). The main character will be Atsu, who seeks revenge on the Yōtei Six clan for the brutal murder of her family.
