News PS Now Has a Respectable 3.2 Million Subscribers
But there's tremendous room for growth
PS Now is, admittedly, a footnote on the list of PlayStation services these days – but its number of subscribers has been gradually growing. As of the end of March this year, the service had 3.2 million members, which is dwarfed by PS Plus’ ginormous 47.6 million – but is almost double where it was at the...
News Sony Uses Fan-Made God of War Ragnarok Logo in Official Presentation, Fools Us All
Is Ragnarok really coming?
Update: Oh for Kratos' sake, Sony. Apparently, the God of War Ragnarok logo that spawned this news story is actually fan-made. And Sony only went and used the bloody thing in its official investor presentation. Needless to say, it's had everyone fooled. Even Sony. We still hope the game's actually called God of War...
News Sony's Targeting More Than 50 Per Cent Market Share with PS5
Company feeling bullish

News Uncharted 4 Heading to PC, Investor Presentation Claims
Drake takes computer classes
Today was Sony's Investor Relations Day for 2021, which rarely results in news for sites such as ours.

This is somewhat of a milestone moment, then: two seconds of...
Reminder Returnal's Selene Costume Available Now for Sackboy: A Big Adventure as Free DLC
Crash lands today
Returnal and Sackboy: A Big Adventure are two completely different games. One's a frantic third person shooter with an endless death cycle, and the other's a light-hearted 3D platformer about collecting bubbles and bopping along to Uptown Funk. We'll let you work out which is which, but in any case, they're pretty far apart on the...

Soapbox Why I'm Not Expecting a PS5, PS4 Press Conference from PlayStation Next Month
Times are changing
Sony moves in mysterious ways these days, which can make predicting the platform holder’s plans a challenge to say the least. Here are a handful of things I’ve observed of late, however: the company’s announcing and showcasing games much closer to release these days; it tends to focus on one title at a time; it’s over E3...

News Cyberpunk 2077 Dev Still in Talks with Sony Over PlayStation Store Return
The waiting game
It's been over five months since the release of Cyberpunk 2077 on PlayStation 4, and the game's still missing from the PlayStation Store.

Random You Wooden Believe This Custom Build Is a PS5 Console
But it is
We can probably all agree that the PlayStation 5's visual design is not to everyone's tastes. While we rather like the bold choice Sony made for the console's look, not everybody agrees. The curvy surfaces and white-and-black colour scheme are striking, but understandably, fans disagree whether it looks good. For those that don't like the...

News PlayStation Fans Aren't Happy with This New Uncharted Movie Picture
Aw, crap
The Uncharted movie has gone cold since its COVID enforced delay, but unlike in the old days, we know that the film has been shot and can be fairly confident that it’ll come out.

News Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart PS5 Size Is Smaller Than We Thought
You love to see it
A couple of weeks back, we reported on the file size for Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart. Weighing in at 42.2GB, we noted that it would require a reasonable chunk of your PlayStation 5's storage space — but it turns out that the actual download size is quite a bit smaller.

News Returnal Team Out to Prove It's More Than Just the 'Resogun Studio'
Wants to make "bigger types of experiences"
We think Finnish developer Housemarque has already proven it can create games on a big scale through Returnal, but it appears the team may not quite agree. Marketing director Mikael Haveri claims the studio wants to rid itself of the idea that it's just the "Resogun studio" by continuing to create bigger...
News Stylish Returnal Promo Brings the PS5 Game's Cycle to the Real World
It's to the right
Returnal is a game that concerns itself with cycles, trapping protagonist Selene in an endless loop in which she can't die. The intimidating world of Atropos shifts and changes between cycles, and players must go through dozens of runs in order to fight their way through the PlayStation 5 exclusive. We all know this already, but...

Talking Point Should Sony Have Its Own Controller Design Lab?
More colours, more customisation
PlayStation controllers are all the rage nowadays. PS5 pads are selling well, PS4 controllers were some of the previous generation's best-selling accessories, and last week's announcement that more colours are on the way for the current-gen gizmo went down a treat. While there's no way of tracking pre-order numbers,...
News Sony Patented an eSports Betting System for PS5, PS4
Bad odds
How about a bit of controversy to kickstart your glib Monday morning?

Lots to look forward to
While it’s unquestionably got off to a strong start with titles like Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales, Returnal, and Resident Evil Village, it’d be fair to say that the PlayStation 5 is still very much at the start of its life. Word from PlayStation Studios boss Hermen Hulst this week confirmed that the division has...
News Returnal's Save System Still Being Investigated, New Content in the Works
Housemarque still not sure on best approach to save issues
Returnal is one of the best PlayStation 5 games you can buy right now, but it has had one major criticism levelled at it: its save system – or lack thereof. Currently, the only way to retain your progress during a run is to put your console in Rest Mode, but this creates all kinds of...

Spotted by PlayStation Game Size, the upcoming PS5 exclusive will occupy around 42.2GB. That's without any day one patches, mind. We recently got an early look...
News When Will PS5 Exclusives Drop in Price on PS Store?
No discounts as yet
One of the benefits of playing on PlayStation compared to, say, Nintendo Switch is that software prices fall fast. Or at least, they used to. Sony’s exclusives hold their value to some extent, but it usually doesn’t take more than a few months for the manufacturer to start chipping away at the prices in promotional events. So...
News PS5 UK Stock Was So Bad in April Even PS4 Outsold It
Life in the old dog
Sony’s done a reasonable job of replenishing PlayStation 5 stock specifically in the UK this year, but April was a barren month for the next-gen console in Britain. In fact, so bad was the supply that the Japanese giant’s new system was actually outsold by its predecessor. Now obviously the PS4 is still a brilliant box with...

News Days Gone Refuels with Nearly Half an Hour of PC Gameplay
Decent St. John
Ahead of its PC port next week, various outlets are beginning to lift the lid on what Days Gone plays and looks like on the personal computer.
