Game of the Month Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol. 2 (August 2026)
As voted by you
Hmmm, it feels like August could give us one of the tightest Game of the Month votes that we've had in quite some time. That's mostly because there was no standout AAA heavy hitter — no massive release ready to crush the competition. Don't get me wrong, August still had a healthy smattering of 'big' games, but I do think a good...
Poll How Would You Rate State of Play for September 2026?
Post your thoughts on two State of Play shows in one
For the first time ever, Sony has run two State of Play livestreams back-to-back: we got a standard SoP showcase with a load of general announcements, and then a State of Play Japan event covered Japanese and Asian developers. The two have brought about a ton of reveals. In terms of the main...
Poll Are You Happy with Your PS Plus Essential Games for September 2026?
Plus or minus?
Where does the time go? We're just days away from the beginning of September, if you can believe it, and that can only mean one thing: new PS Plus Essential games to (hopefully) look forward to. At a glance, I think next month's lineup has something for everyone. We've got an historically-grounded shooter, a sports sim, an indie RPG,...
Day one?
So, it finally happened: we've seen GTA 6 in action. Well, not all of us have, thanks to the gameplay being exclusive to Netflix for six hours; if you're yet to catch the footage yourself, feel free to revisit this poll once you're up to speed. You can also give our big GTA 6 article a read if you need a refresher on what was shown. The...
Poll How Would You Rate Gamescom Opening Night Live 2026?
Rate this year's Keighley surprises
We've reached the time of year when Geoff Keighley hosts his most low-key showcase of the year. Gamescom Opening Night Live usually has one or two big pieces of news, but this is nothing like Summer Game Fest or The Game Awards. That was again reflected in the announcements for 2026's stage show, with the biggest...
Poll Are You Hyped for These 10 New PS Plus Games?
Plus or minus?
Split between PS Plus Extra and PS Plus Premium, 10 new games are being added to Sony's subscription service next week — but are you happy with what's being offered? I think August's lineup is fairly strong, and there's a good amount of variety on display. Indeed, there's a gigantic difference between Extra headliners Helldivers 2...
Game of the Month Assassin's Creed: Black Flag Resynced (July 2026)
As voted by you
After what was a disgustingly dry June for new game releases on PS5, July has thankfully given us a bit more to work it. In particular, it was two high profile remakes that grabbed most of the month's headlines. Both Assassin's Creed: Black Flag Resynced and Halo: Campaign Evolved were met with impressive review scores and a lot of...
Poll Did You Buy Halo: Campaign Evolved on PS5?
Green energy
It's still bloody weird, isn't it? Halo on PlayStation. But this is our new reality, because Halo: Campaign Evolved is out right now on PS5 — and I want to know if you're actually playing it. If you lived through the PS2 and original Xbox generation like I did, followed by extreme console warring of the PS3 and Xbox 360 era, then...
Poll Are You Buying Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls?
Marvelous
Like a sprightly Peter Parker, the Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls beta is in full swing. And I’ve been playing it every spare minute since dev Arc System Works switched on the servers. As is routine for me in fighting games, I’m getting my ass absolutely handed to me by pretty much everyone online (curse you Magik players – I think...
Poll Are You Hyped for These 9 New PS Plus Games?
Plus or minus?
Sony’s announced its PS Plus Extra and PS Plus Premium lineups for the remainder of July, and it’s a decent lineup in my opinion The star of the show is Ubisoft’s surprisingly solid movie tie-in Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora, which recently got a third-person mode if you’re not a fan of first-person shooting. It’s a...
Poll Are You Considering Leaving PlayStation for PC?
Pastures new
One sentiment I’ve seen grow exponentially over the past few years is the number of players saying they’re going to leave PlayStation for PC. That comment, already a popular point of view, has increased tenfold over the past week, since Sony’s announced its intent to stop manufacturing physical games. I must admit, I don’t...
Game of the Month The Adventures of Elliot: The Millennium Tales (June 2026)
As voted by you
I've been putting these new Game of the Month votes together for over a year now, and I've got to just come out and say it: I don't think I've ever seen such a weak month for new releases as June 2026. Here on Push Square, we reviewed a grand total of three PS5 games, and only one of them got a score over 5/10. That's pretty much...
Poll Are You Happy with Your PS Plus Essential Games for July 2026?
Plus or minus?
This has been an incredibly rough week for Sony's reputation, and I seriously doubt that the PS Plus Essential lineup for July is going to reverse the Japanese giant's fortunes. Indeed, going by the comments on our announcement article, plenty of people think this might be one of the weakest months in a long time. But as always, I...
Poll $1,000 and No Disc Drive - Is PS6 Dead on Arrival?
Nixed-gen
Sony is yet to detail the PS6 in any official capacity, but we're now at a point where we can make a series of educated guesses regarding the next-gen console and its potential features. A couple of which are bound to cause a stir... So, first off, we've got an idea about the price tag — primarily due to the skyrocketing cost of...
Poll How Much Will GTA 6 Cost?
Predict the GTA 6 price
This time next week, pre-orders for GTA 6 will be live, and there'll finally be an official price attached to the PS5 release. In the years leading up to 25th June 2026, when retailers will set their listings live, there's been a lot of debate over what the price of GTA 6 will be. Some think Rockstar will use the excitement...
Poll What's Your PS5 Game of the Year for 2026 So Far?
Halfway done
Look, you might not want to hear this, but we're now halfway through 2026 — and here on Push Square, that can only mean one thing... That's right, it's time to step back and take stock of the year so far. And what a six and a half months it's been. I know we're all going gaga over the upcoming release schedule — September and...
Poll Are You Happy with Your PS Plus Extra, Premium Games for June 2026?
Plus or minus?
Another month, another seemingly rock solid PS Plus Extra lineup — at least, from where I'm sitting. The headline act of June 2026 has to be Final Fantasy 16. Has it proven to be yet another divisive instalment in Square Enix's series? Yes, but it still feels like a big deal for it to be part of Sony's middle-tier subscription...
Game of the Month 007 First Light (May 2026)
As voted by you
You'll have to forgive me for being a little late with this Game of the Month poll for May 2026 — it was all down to those pesky summer gaming events, leaving no room for such a debate. But now that the excitement is over, it's time to look back on the month of May and ask ourselves... which PS5 release deserves to be crowned Game...
Poll Who Had the Best Not-E3 Livestream This Week?
Take your pick
And with the conclusion of Microsoft’s Xbox Showcase, that’s a wrap on what we’re colloquially calling not-E3. Obviously there’s still a Nintendo Direct to come – rumoured for next week – but with the Mario maker as unpredictable as ever, we’re running our poll right now: who, in your opinion, had the best livestream...
Poll How Would You Rate Summer Game Fest 2026?
Share your thoughts on Keighley's show
E3 is over, but Geoff Keighley truly is everlasting. He's once again taken his E3 substitute, Summer Game Fest, to the LA streets, promising two hours of new game reveals and announcements. This year, his big things were Final Fantasy VII Revelation, Resident Evil Veronica, Gen Atlas, and Stellar Blade: Blood...
Poll Is 007 First Light a Game of the Year Contender?
007 heaven
007 First Light arrived on PS5 last week, bringing some much needed Bond-ing to the current console generation. From the developers behind the modern Hitman games, this new take on the English spy certainly shares similarities with Agent 47's recent outings, incorporating a mix of gunplay, close quarters combat, stealth, and subterfuge...
Poll What Was the Best PS5 Game at State of Play?
The state of it all
Sony promised a hefty State of Play for the 2nd June and I think it mostly delivered in terms of overall quality. The majority of you would agree with me, going by the results of our post-show poll. But what was the standout PS5 game from this latest event? That's what everyone's here to find out. It goes without saying that...
Poll How Would You Rate State of Play for June 2026?
Have your say on PlayStation's latest showcase
Sony's big summer livestream is over and done with, offering more than an hour of major announcements, reveals, and industry news. There will be more to come, as Summer Game Fest and the Xbox Games Showcase take place later this week, but for now, we're here to judge PlayStation's slate of gaming...
Poll Are You Happy with Your PS Plus Essential Games for June 2026?
Plus or minus?
June 2026's PS Plus Essential games have been revealed, but are they everything you ever wanted? As always, that's what we're here to find out. Unfortunately, I can see this selection being more than a little divisive. That's primarily because all three titles share a focus on some kind of multiplayer, be it co-op or competitive —...
Poll Will Next Week's PS5 State of Play Be the Most Viewed Ever?
Marketing masterclass
Sony’s been quietly and slowly growing the importance of State of Play for some time now, with its February 2026 broadcast quickly becoming the most viewed episode ever. But can it beat it next week? The platform h
Poll Sony's Killing Its PS5 PC Ports - But Do You Agree with Its Decision?
Single player games will be fully exclusive again
It’s been a tumultuous day for PS5, underpinned by a PS Plus price increase and confirmation that Sony’s cancelling PC ports of its single player games. While the company hasn’t made a statement, word comes by way of Bloomberg journalist Jason Schreier, reporting
Poll Would You Buy an inFAMOUS Collection for PS5?
It'd be electric
The first two inFAMOUS games are classics in the PS3 library, and there’s no great way to play them on modern hardware. Rumour has it that Sony is working with an unnamed developer to bring them to the PS5, although the source says he’s only received word from one person in particular, and hasn’t been able to corroborate the...
Poll Are You Happy with Your PS Plus Extra, Premium Games for May 2026?
Plus or minus?
The general consensus around PS Plus Extra seems to be that Sony's middle-tier subscription is actually really good, offering up a consistently strong lineup of PS5 and PS4 software. And we can't see that perception changing this month, as the games for May 2026 range from genuinely great to "hmmm, I should give that a go". Red Dead...
Poll Is Saros Better Than Returnal?
Total eclipse
Saros has been out for over a week now on PS5, and we're guessing that plenty of you will have seen most of what Housemarque's latest has to offer. While not an out-and-out direct sequel, Saros is still the successor to Returnal — a title that many would argue was, and still is, one of the PS5's most poignant experiences. Saros...
Poll Uncharted 4 Turns 10 Years Old, But Is It the Series' Peak?
Uncharted territory
Uncharted 4: A Thief's End turns 10 years old today, which also means that it's been an entire decade since we got a new Uncharted game (not counting sort-of-spin-off Uncharted: The Lost Legacy). Lauded at the time of its release back in 2016, Uncharted 4 is still considered one of the PS4's best. And for many, it remains the...
Game of the Month Pragmata (April 2026)
As voted by you
Well, that one just flew by, didn't it? April seemed a bit back-loaded, with the likes of Saros — Sony's latest first-party exclusive — dropping on the final day, but in hindsight, it was a pretty strong month from the start. Aside from Housemarque's intense and enjoyably broody action-shooter, the other headline act was...
Poll Are You Happy with Your PS Plus Essential Games for May 2026?
Plus or minus?
As per usual, three PS5 and PS4 games are up for grabs through PS Plus Essential in May. Sony's entry-level subscription has been pretty solid in 2026 so far, and we think this is another decent selection — albeit with a caveat or two. For starters, EA Sports FC 26 is the headline act. Obviously, the annual football sim —...
Poll One Year Later, Did Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 Deserve All the Praise?
For those who come after
Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 celebrated its first anniversary earlier this week (how time flies!), and although the RPG ended up being one of the most highly-praised releases of the generation, we just can't help but wonder if opinions have changed now that we're 12 months down the line. Taking a moment to look back on...
Poll Are You Sold on Assassin's Creed: Black Flag's PS5 Remake?
Raise the sales
It may have leaked all over the place ahead of its official announcement, but it feels like the reveal of Assassin's Creed: Black Flag Resynced has gone down really well with just about everyone. Associated videos have already racked up millions of views on YouTube, and from where we're sitting, the positivity has been shockingly...
Poll Are You Happy with Your PS Plus Extra, Premium Games for April 2026?
Plus or minus?
April's PS Plus Extra and PS Plus Premium offerings have been announced, and as always, we want to know if you feel like you're getting enough bang for your subscription buck. Extra has, at least from our perspective, given us another set of intriguing titles. Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered leads the charge as the most recognisable...
Poll Do Crimson Desert's PS5 Patches Put Other Devs to Shame, or Is the Game Simply Unfinished?
Crimson with envy
Let's be real, the release cadence for Crimson Desert patches has been insane. In all of our years writing about video games, we've basically never seen such meaningful updates drop so quickly. Since its launch on the 29th March, Crimson Desert has pretty much received one big patch every week or so — and there are no signs of...
Game of the Month Crimson Desert (March 2026)
As voted by you
As is usually the case every year, March was a super busy month for new game releases. The PS5's schedule was pretty much packed from beginning to end, and there were some very heavy hitters in the mix. One of 2026's most anticipated titles stole most of the headlines last month. We are, of course, referring to Crimson Desert, which...
Poll Are You Happy with Your PS Plus Essential Games for April 2026?
Plus or minus?
Well, this should make for an interesting poll! We don't want to colour your opinion right out of the gate, but we think it's more than fair to say that April 2026's PS Plus Essential lineup will be divisive. In a nutshell, we've got a Soulslike, an anime action RPG, and a remastered collection. We'll start with Lords of the...
Opinion Does Starfield Suck? People Keep Telling Me to Skip Its PS5 Release
Reach for the stars
Starfield finally comes to PS5 in exactly one week from now, and I'll admit, I really want to give it a try. But apparently, that's a terrible idea. Over the last couple of weeks, as the launch has crept closer, I've been telling people — friends, mostly, not just randoms out on the street — that I'm actually quite looking...
Poll Are You Happy With Your PS Plus Extra, Premium Games for March 2026?
Plus or minus?
Another 8 games are headed the PS Plus Extra and PS Plus Premium next week, with Sony confirming the full lineup just a few days ago. But as always, we want to know if you're actually happy with what's on offer. Let's begin with Extra, which seems to just keep on delivering the goods. Sony's middle tier subscription appears to have...
Poll Has PS5's Dynamic Pricing Debacle Changed Your Relationship with the PS Store at All?
To buy or not to buy
An interesting exchange occurred on the Push Square Slack channel earlier this week, as we were putting the finishing touches to our Mega March sales guide. “What if our users are seeing different prices?” PS Store professor Stephen Tailby pondered. We, of course, double-checked as much as possible – but it was a...
Game of the Month Resident Evil Requiem (February 2026)
As voted by you
January might have felt like a bit of a slow start to 2026, but February ended up being the exact opposite. This was a busy month for new releases, and a good number of them are what we'd deem very high profile. In other words, there's going to be a battle for February's official Game of the Month award. There was something for...
Poll What Review Score Would You Give Resident Evil Requiem?
Evil has a number
Resident Evil Requiem has been out on PS5 for a full week now, and we hope that's been long enough for you to see its horrors through to the end. That's because we need you to give it a review score. The game went down extremely well with critics. It's one of the highest-rated titles of the year so far, and we imagine that it'll...
Poll Are You Happy with Your PS Plus Essential Games for March 2026?
Plus or minus?
We're just hours away from the beginning of March 2026, if you can believe it, and so it's time to take a look at next month's PS Plus Essential games. Unfortunately for people who have zero interest in golf, a leak from earlier in the week turned out to be completely accurate; PGA Tour 2K25 is being paraded at the front of the pack...
Poll Are You Playing Resident Evil Requiem?
Double trouble
One of the most anticipated games of the year, Resident Evil Requiem is here, and by almost all accounts, it's another Capcom banger. The developer's doing something a little bit different with this latest instalment, splitting its campaign between new protagonist Grace and returning hero Leon. The former's story chapters tend to be...
Video Silence as PSVR2 Turns Three Years Old - Is Sony's PS5 Headset Dead?
Welcome to reality
We wouldn't blame you for not knowing that PSVR2 just celebrated its third birthday, because Sony itself seems to have completely forgotten that the platform exists. For quite some time now, it feels like the virtual reality headset's been left to collect dust. It is still getting new games, but the releases are few and far...
Poll What Review Score Would You Give Yakuza Kiwami 3 & Dark Ties?
Extreme takes
Now this should make for an interesting review score poll... Yakuza Kiwami 3 & Dark Ties released over a week ago now, and it's been met with some very divided opinions. Critic reviews have largely settled around 7s and 8s, to the point where the remake is actually one of the lowest-rated Yakuza / Like a Dragon titles in years...
Poll What Review Score Would You Give God of War: Sons of Sparta?
This means war
A much different take on the property, God of War: Sons of Sparta was shadow dropped on PS5 around this time last week, after it was announced during Sony's State of Play broadcast. Taking on the form of a 2D Metroidvania adventure, Sons of Sparta provides insight into Kratos' teenage years, as he trains to become a true Spartan...
Poll Should God of War Trilogy Remake Adopt the Gameplay Style of Ragnarok?
God of more
We currently know next to nothing about God of War Trilogy Remake. It's in development and it's seemingly years away from release — and that's pretty much it. But while people can't stop banging on about the potential return of sex minigames, we're sitting here with a much more important question on our minds: just how much of a...
