News These 8+ PS5, PS4 Games Will Be Delisted or Disabled in August 2026
Stop servers time
Oh boy, what a time for my bi-monthly article on delisted PS5 and PS4 games. For the record, I’m genuinely not trying to stick the boot in here, as I’ve been tracking these all year. I think it’s important for us all to know when digital games will be delisted or disabled, so we can act before it’s too late. Obviously in...
Hard truths
Speaking during its latest earnings call, Sony addressed the backlash to its decision to stop manufacturing physical discs. While it acknowledged the criticism of enthusiast fans, CFO Lin Tao showed no signs of the company even considering changing course, saying it’s going to “cautiously move thi
News Sony Knows How You Feel About No More Discs, But It's Not Going to Reverse Course
"We're going to cautiously move this forward"
We've all been wondering whether Sony will make any sort of public comment following its plans to stop making PlayStation discs in the future. Now, we finally have some additional thoughts from the company, but they come via a question asked during a recent earnings call, rather than anything directed...

News Tom Holland Loves The Last of Us 2 So Much He Won't Watch the HBO Series
His favourite game of all time
We've been hearing a lot from Tom Holland lately, but I suppose that's makes sense considering he's in two of the summer's biggest movies. While doing press for Spider-Man: Brand New Day, he's probably been thrown every possible question, but it was Happy Sad Confused that asked him the most important one of all:...

And Travellers will finally arrive in the region next month, from 12th August, as part of v7.0. For those who don’t follow...
News Recovering Balatro Players Should Probably Stay Away from CloverPit, Coming to PS5 Next Month
Bit of a gamble
If you're into endlessly replayable roguelikes that are all about racking up crazy high scores using various synergies and perks, CloverPit has probably been on your radar. It's been available on PC since September of last year, where it has over 12,000 "Very Positive" Steam reviews. It's since been ported to Xbox and mobile, and...

Feature 8 Ways Sony Must Improve the PS Store for Our All-Digital Future
It's time for PlayStation to up its game
It’s been almost a month since Sony announced its decision to cease manufacturing physical games in 2028, and it hasn’t uttered a word since. While parts of the PlayStation community plot a blackout in protest, I think it’s also worth considering how the company could improve on its existing digital...
News In the Busiest Gaming Month of the Year, PS5's Control Resonant Will Take Up a Lot of Your Time
Approximate length announced
September is the apocalypse for new console releases, with games like Marvel’s Wolverine and The Blood of Dawnwalker all vying for your attention. If you were hoping Control Resonant would be a breezy campaign you could beat in around 10 hours like its predecessor, then – well, think again. In an interview with
He is not the one
Super Limit-Breaking NEO, a fairly substantial expansion for Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero, feels like what would happen if a publisher decided to scrap its DLC roadmap and just throw everything it had lined up into one big bundle. It's an erratic mix of characters, stages, and new ways to play. There's no real rhyme or reason to...
News This New PS5 FPS Will Depict a Harrowing and Often Overlooked Part of WW2
New gameplay trailer released
We’re all familiar with the Battle of Britain and Pearl Harbour, but there are some parts of World War 2 that rarely get told by Western media.

News Will Final Fantasy 7 Revelation Get a Physical PS5 Edition? Director Can't Confirm Anything Yet
"We're still having internal discussions"

While the market clearly shows digital games make up the vast majority of sales these days, many have voiced their concerns about losing physical media altogether...
Rumour Marvel Tokon's PS5 Trophy List Leaks Online Ahead of Launch
And it looks pretty easy
We're just one week away from the release of Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls on PS5 and PC, and assuming the issues from the open beta are fixed, we should be in for a great new fighting game. Occasionally, Trophy lists pop up online a few days before a game is due to launch. That's usually not the case for Sony-published...
News SEGA Is Co-Publishing the Ridiculous Action RPG Stupid Never Dies This October on PS5
Seems like a good fit to me
One game we've been keeping an eye on here at Push Square Towers — mostly because it looks like it leapt out of Sammy's imagination — is Stupid Never Dies, a game about a zombie trying to revive his non-zombie girlfriend who froze to death. It's pretty hard to ignore a setup like that, and the game itself looks like...

Yes, the sequel to Croc: Legend of the Gobbos, which was brought back on modern platforms last year, is on the way, scheduled for release on PS5 and PS4...
News Unhinged Passengers Are the Stars of Rideshare "Stimulator", an Uber Driver Sim Heading to PS5
What's going on back there?
Saber Interactive really has been making in-roads when it comes to the driving simulator genre, and its latest effort might be its most interesting yet. The company has just announced Rideshare "Stimulator" — yes, the speech marks are part of the title, which I'm irrationally angry about — and it's essentially a game...

News Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero's Big DLC Price Finally Revealed, and It Ain't Cheap

Feature 6 Things to Know from Silent Hill: Townfall's Glowing PS5 Previews

News Early Data Suggests Unspectacular Start for Halo on PS5
But story still to be written
How is Halo: Campaign Evolved doing on its PS5 debut? Fine – and we certainly need a lot more data to know for sure – but likely unspectacularly, all things considered. While the game is currently second on the PS Store best-sellers list in the US, it’s a bit lower in European countries like the UK, where it...
News One of Steam's Biggest New RPGs Is Officially Getting a PS5 Version

Like many other Korean games, this...
News 5 Years Later, Cyberpunk Shooter The Ascent Confirms Major PS5 Update as Dev Teases Sequel
Always ascending
First released in 2021 for Xbox and PC, before hitting PS5 roughly a year later, The Ascent is celebrating its fifth anniversary today.

Mini Review Avatar Legends: The Fighting Game (PS5) - Solid Foundation Bending to Greatness
Korra, blimey

News 'We're Going to Go a Bit Crazy': Clair Obscur Dev Doesn't Want to Hold Back on Its Next Game
Take your turn
It's surprisingly fun to speculate over Sandfall Interactive's next game, because based on Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 — the studio's debut — its follow-up project could be just about anything. At the very least, you'd expect it to be just as creative and, for lack of a better word, weird as its predecessor. But will it be some...
