Do it again
It's been over a month since Starfield launched on PS5, and the game still suffers from crashing issues. Up until now, Bethesda has delivered two patches specifically targeting Sony's console.

News Sony's Lost Soul Aside Was Rough at Launch, But Another Impressive PS5 Patch Is Out Now
Soul edge
Lost Soul Aside probably ended up being one of our biggest disappointments of 2025, but it's great to see developer UltiZero Games sticking with the Sony-published title well after release. The studio's just dropped another major patch — by our count, the fifth of its kind — adding a slew of new and improved content alongside some...

News PS5 Pro Just Made Pragmata Even Better in New Patch
Update with native PSSR2 support now live
Capcom has pushed a new Pragmata update live today that adds official support for PSSR2 on PS5 Pro.

News Starfield PS5 Crash Patch Out Now, But It Only Partly Fixes PS5 Pro
See you next week
Bethesda has (sort of) delivered on its promise to fix Starfield's frankly shocking crashing issues on PS5 and PS5 Pro. Patch 1.000.003 is available to download now on Sony's system, weighing in at 1.445GB. However, as alluded, this hotfix does not address all causes of the game crashing. In fact, it only targets crashes on PS5...
News Tekken 8's Turning Point Arrives Out of Nowhere, Devs Finally Listen with Patch 3.00.02
No longer Tekken the p*ss
Well, we didn't see this one coming. When Bandai Namco confirmed that Tekken 8 would be getting a mid-April patch, there were zero expectations — most players just assumed that it would include minor tweaks since it hasn't been billed as a key update. But as it turns out, patch 3.00.02 — the first patch since the big...

Private storage gets a huge buff, too
Another meaningful update for Crimson Desert has just dropped, and it features some very welcome improvements.

Art attack
Sick of seeing those seriously ugly AI-generated paintings in Crimson Desert? If so, we've got good news: they've been officially replaced.

News Crimson Desert Improves Image Quality on Base PS5 with Simple Upscaling
FSR 3 added to Performance Mode
Crimson Desert was not recommended on the PS5 at launch, largely due to its sub-par Performance Mode which launched without any upscaling at all. But in the game’s latest patch, Pearl Abyss has iterated upon the launch day product, adding in FSR 3 upscaling when the game is running in its 60fps format. While this...
