News Dragon's Dogma 2 Frame Rates Massively Improved with Patch 3.2 on PS5, PS5 Pro
Top Dogma
Patch 3.2 for Dragon's Dogma 2 released overnight, and it's made huge changes to the open world RPG. The update reworks fundamental bits and pieces of the game, while also improving the user experience in some pretty significant ways. You could argue that it verges on being a kind of re-release. But the most surprising improvement of all...
News Colossal, Game-Changing Dragon's Dogma 2 Patch 3.2 Out Now on PS5
Arise, Arisen
As Capcom promised, the biggest ever update for Dragon's Dogma 2 is available to download now on PS5. And when I write 'biggest', I don't just mean that it's packing the most improvements; this thing is 48GB in terms of file size. To be fair, update 3.2 basically rewrites the game, ahead of the Dark Arisen expansion which launches on...
News Dragon's Dogma 2's Game-Changing PS5 Patch Dated, But Slightly Delayed
The big one
Capcom has long promised a major update for Dragon's Dogma 2, dropping ahead of its Dark Arisen expansion on the 9th October.

News Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter Gets Surprise PS5 Patch, Hardcore Fans Celebrate Changes
Coming to terms
You'll never hear me say a bad word about Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter — it's a truly excellent remake and RPG in general — but it did ship with one undeniable issue. Indeed, the game's English localisation was just a little bit off. Certain terms that were established in other Trails games were essentially reworked with more...

News Oblivion Remastered Could Finally Be Fixed on PS5 as Bethesda Promises 'Optimisations' Patch
Take your time
It's been roughly 16 months since The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered launched on PS5, and the open world revival still runs poorly on Sony's system. Although a couple of post-release updates did smooth performance to some extent, it remains a noticeably choppy game, plagued by frame rate issues and hitching as it loads assets...
News Silent Hill 2 Patch Broke Remake on PS5 Pro, and Konami Is Investigating
Cursed
Silent Hill 2 is an awesome game, but its PS5 Pro implementation was noted as an early lowpoint for Sony’s pricey platform. The company’s since massively improved its proprietary upscaler PSSR, and the supercharged system is regularly turning in outstanding results as a consequence. And now a new 6GB patch for the Bloober Team developed...
News AC Black Flag Resynced Improved with 5GB PS5 Patch This Week
Blow off steam without the blowpipe

Available to download from around 10AM ET / 7AM PT, the main improvement includes the ability to hide the blowpipe from...
News Dragon's Dogma 2 Dev Confirms Hard Mode Is Finally Coming
Through the fire and flames
Dragon's Dogma 2 will finally be handed a hard difficulty mode, hopefully putting one of the game's most prominent issues to rest. The game has a very uneven difficulty curve as you level up, to the point where the vast majority of enemies that you encounter become incredibly easy to defeat. The combat system itself is...
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. If you've never played it, The Ascent is a bombastic twin-stick RPG-shooter set in a bustling cyberpunk world. It's solid in terms of gameplay, but it's really the game's overall aesthetic and...

New stages, balance changes, and more
With its Super Limit-Breaking NEO DLC set to release tomorrow (that's the 30th July), Dragon Ball: Sparking!

News Horizon PS5 Remaster Updated for Probable PS6 Handheld Support
Patch 1.09 out now on PS5
Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered has today received a patch that adds a setting very few people on PS5 will actually use: support for the console's Power Saver mode. When activated, the Power Saver mode runs PS5 titles at lower settings in order to consume less electricity. As much as caring for the environment is becoming...
News Digimon Story Time Stranger 60fps Patch Out Now on PS5, Adds Photo Mode and More
Hello, Stranger
It's been over eight months since Digimon Story Time Stranger launched on PS5, but Bandai Namco apparently never forgot about its promise to improve the game's performance. The creature-taming RPG has been capped at a disappointing 30 frames-per-second since launch, but a freshly revealed update, which drops on the 9th July, will...
News Final Fantasy Tactics Remaster Gets Surprise PS5 Patch, Adding New Game+, Settings, and More
A tactical choice
Square Enix has just pumped out a surprise patch for Final Fantasy Tactics: The Ivalice Chronicles — and it's a pretty significant one. An enhanced (and slightly expanded) remaster of the stone cold classic strategy RPG, The Ivalice Chronicles released for PS5 and PS4 back in September of last year. It's barely been mentioned by...
This is the end
Ubisoft has blown the lid off the final update for Assassin's Creed Shadows — and it's packing a lot more than most people were expecting, including myself. Firstly, it adds a brand new main story chapter that completes the tale of protagonists Naoe and Yasuke. The duo will have to face off against two elite Templars who have...
News Starfield Patch Promises to Fix Its Biggest Crashing Issue on PS5, Two Months After Launch
Better late than never
Starfield has received yet another update on PS5, in the hope of finally addressing the game's remaining crash-related issues.

Coming next week
Assassin's Creed Shadows will receive "one last update", according to a teaser posted on the game's official social media channels.

The teaser for Update 1.1.11 doesn't give anything away; all we know for...

News Starfield PS5 Gets Yet Another Crash-Fixing Patch, Over a Month and Two Updates Later
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 Bethesda Issues Second Starfield PS5 Crashing Fix, Live Now

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.

However, the Japanese publisher said this fresh...
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. While there's nothing here that we'd deem major, patch 1.02 — which weighs in at around 900MB on PS5 — should still make your life in Pywel more enjoyable. Highlights include a toggle for headgear...
News Crimson Desert Dev Keeps Its Promise, Replaces AI Art in Latest Patch
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...

Tekken it back

News One of PS5's Most Graphically Intensive Games Patched to Support Low Power Mode
Forbidden power

Studio said it'd respond quickly
