Poll Vote for Your PS5 Game of the Month (May 2026)
Decide Push Square's GOTM
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...
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...
Poll What Review Score Would You Give Nioh 3?
You're a ninja now, Willy
Honestly, it doesn't feel like it's been almost five whole years since the release of Nioh 2, but developer Team Ninja has clearly used its time well, judging by the positive reception of Nioh 3. This third instalment's been out for just over a week now, and we're dying to know what you think of it. Again, immediate...
Poll Are You Happy with Your PS Plus Extra, Premium Games for February 2026?
Plus or minus?
Leaked earlier in the week and then made official during PlayStation's latest State of Play broadcast, the PS Plus Extra and Premium lineup for February 2026 has now been revealed... but are you happy with the games that are on offer? Let's start positive, at least: we think Extra sub
Poll How Would You Rate State of Play for February 2026?
Give your thoughts on the latest PS5 showcase
The first State of Play livestream for 2026 is now over, bringing with it more than an hour of PS5 news and reveals from both third-parties and PlayStation Studios. Some of the biggest announcements included Kena: Scars of Kosmora, the Legends mode for Ghost of Yotei, a brand new AAA John Wick game, and...
Poll What Review Score Would You Give Dragon Quest 7 Reimagined?
Use your reimagination
Now that we're a solid week beyond its release date, we'd like to think that you've made enough progress through Dragon Quest 7 Reimagined to give it a review score. But we'll be the first to admit: this is a long RPG. And that's despite Square Enix streamlining whole chunks of the remake, in response to the original PS1...
Game of the Month Trails beyond the Horizon (January 2026)
As voted by you
A new year, a new official Push Square Game of the Month campaign in which you — yes, you! — will help us decide the standout games of 2026. There are (hopefully) exciting times ahead... So, let's get things started with January, which was, in all fairness, a somewhat quiet opening month. Still, a handful of highly rated titles...
Poll What's Your Reaction to Horizon Hunters Gathering?
On the hunt
Thanks to years of leaks and rumours, we knew it was coming — but Horizon Hunters Gathering still feels like a surprise now that it's been made official. This is Sony's co-op spin on the Horizon franchise, plopping up to three players in the shoes of premade hunters, each with their own weapons and abilities. It goes without saying...
Poll Are You Happy with Your PS Plus Essential Games for February 2026?
Plus or minus?
What?! It's February already?! No, we're being serious — and we've got the PS Plus Essential games to prove it. The second Essential offering of 2026 is almost here, and as always, we want to know if you're actually happy with what's up for grabs. So, first up, we've got Undisputed, the eye-catching boxing sim that came out...
Poll Are You Playing Highguard?
On your guard
Highguard is the talk of the town right now, but if the initial player feedback is anything to go by, it might not be for much longer. This is the title that infamously closed out The Game Awards 2025 — on host Geoff Keighley's recommendation, apparently. And now the free-to-play shooter is here, tempting people in with its...
Poll Are You Happy with Your PS Plus Extra, Premium Games for January 2026?
Plus or minus?
The first PS Plus Extra and PS Plus Premium games of 2026 have been confirmed, and from where we're sitting, Sony's subscription service is off to a pretty strong start. Well, Extra is, at least. A total of eight titles are up for grabs, including the highly rated Resident Evil Village. No doubt a tactical deployment by Capcom,...
Talking Point Did ANTHEM Deserve the Hate?
You're not singing anymore
ANTHEM is dead. Or at least, it soon will be, depending on when you're reading this. While the online looter-shooter never quite set the world on fire, it's worth remembering that there was quite a lot of hype behind ANTHEM ahead of its eventual release on the 22nd February, 2019. This was, after all, a new property from...
Poll Are You Happy with Your PS Plus Essential Games for January 2026?
Plus or minus?
We hope you're ready for another whole year of judging PS Plus games, because we're about to kick things off with January 2026's PS Plus Essential lineup. This selection was announced over the holidays, so you might have actually missed it while you were busy gorging on all kinds of delicious food and drink. But have no fear, we're...
Game of the Month Terminator 2D: No Fate (December 2025)
As voted by you
We may have just wrapped up our Game of the Year coverage for 2025, but there's still one little thing we've got to take care of before moving on to 2026 in full... We are, of course, referring to Game of the Month. December's release schedule might have been overshadowed by all of the aforementioned Game of the Year discourse, but...
Game of the Year #1 - Clair Obscur: Expedition 33
For those who come after
Should it be possible for a developer to win Game of the Year with its very first project? The answer is yes — of course — but the chances of it actually happening have always seemed slim. Debut studio Sandfall Interactive, with Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, has now proven it's possible. The engrossing French RPG has...
Game of the Year #2 - Death Stranding 2: On the Beach
Death can't tear us apart
An oddity of a debut game after the Metal Gear Solid fallout between Hideo Kojima and Konami, it's Death Stranding 2 that capitalises on the original's good faith for the definitive mixture of story, visuals, and package delivery. This is what Kojima Productions had been building to all along. It takes the first game and...
Game of the Year #3 - Split Fiction
Immersion therapy
Hazelight Studios has gone from strength to strength with every successive game it puts out, and Split Fiction is its best work yet. Once again, the team doubles down on two-player co-op as a core tenet of design and structure, and the result is a relentlessly imaginative experience that'll make you question what else can even be...
Game of the Year #4 - Ghost of Yotei
Revenge is sweet
Ghost of Tsushima ended up being one of the most beloved outings of the PS4 generation, and so topping the adventures of Jin Sakai was never going to be easy. And while we think that opinions will likely always be divided on which Ghost title is best, Ghost of Yotei is a superb sequel that both builds on its predecessor, and...
Game of the Year #5 - Dispatch
AdHoc Studio will remember that
It turns out the appetite for episodic adventures hasn’t gone away – the format just needed sexy superheroes, a quicker release cadence, and management sim mechanics. Dispatch – developed by the ex-Telltale alumni at AdHoc Studio – made a late charge for Game of the Year, premiering on 22nd October and not...
