Sorry, but as far as "proof" goes, this is quite weak.

It was behind RDR2 in the charts for gods sake lol. I don't think we can draw much of a conclusion without more data.

@Drnsnsr
All I can taste is salt. I guess I'm doomed.

When I first saw this, I was blown away. Really so impressed. Am I a terrible person?

@wildcat_kickz
I now strongly suspect we'll get a PS5 Pro patch with the rumoured DLC coming soon

Two weeks from launch, for one of the most highly anticipated yet highly questionable game releases in a long time. Surely they'd want to put the information out now? It's not like optimisation can change much in the next 14 days.

My guess/hope is that the information comes out with the final previews in a couple of days.

I have this feeling that once 2026 is done, with games like RE9, Crimson Desert, Saros, Wolverine and GTA 6 all released, the PS5 Pro is gonna be taken a lot more seriously by gamers.

Baldur is blessed with invulnerability to all threats, physical or magical.

If you told me in 2020 that we wouldn't get a console exclusive, that wasn't a remake/remaster, from ND and SSM until 2027, I'd have called you a lot of terrible names.

This is brilliant stuff. I'm thrilled.

However if this is in early development then exactly what have SSM been doing since they released Ragnarok? It's been over 3 years ffs

Not a single surprise or new game releasing THIS year that excited me, so disappointed.

But at the same time, RE9, Crimson Desert and Saros will keep me busy over the next few months so I won't complain.

Let's wait and see. A few games have said the same in the past but Pro performance has actually been worse than base PS5

If these are the results of PSSR 1, and if PSSR 2 is as good as they say, then we are in for an absolute feast.

I just discovered The Riftbreaker on PS5.
It's the only strategy game I've ever played but it's got me hooked thus far.

I'm kinda wondering what other strategy games are out there for me but not before I sink another half dozen hours into it this weekend

Interesting change of opinion regarding Herman Hulst, Sammy 😉

Still 27 days left. We're one new GTA trailer from this needing to be redone

Shareholders love to hear they'll make money quickly

@nessisonett
I do wonder how many of these 'too-good-to-be-true Asian developer games' have actually released.

We got Wu-Kong despite most people saying it'd never come out. Crimson Desert finally has a release date. Any others? And which ones genuinely did just go quiet?

Wolverine. Saros. Crimson Desert. RE9. GTA 6. Lego Arkham.

2026 y'all

I'm yet to see a video of this game where the player is a master of the combat system. It's constant 'you hit, I hit' which I find really unsatisfying. I wanna see some blocks, perfect parries and dodges for the love of god!

That's my only concern, otherwise this looks incredible.

This and Saros a day apart is crazy for me

Sony hitting their stride, finally. This looks excellent

Looks fantastic. Loved Returnal and I'm ready for more

Best in several years. 2026 is gonna be incredible tbh

Shouldn't this be filed under 'Rumours'?

In any case, I'm hoping Ghost of Yotei, Saros and now this (if true) are a sign that Sony are entering that purple patch we saw between 2016-2020.

I don't think he knows anything.

"We try not to pump expectations, right?"

He literally said in the past that GTA 6 was going to "exceed expectations"

He also said they were on track for the 2025 date weeks before it was delayed.

He's either clueless or a liar.

Doesn't need a sequel if there isn't a coherent and compelling enough vision for one.

The DLC was great. I'm happy that they get to explore other things. I may not buy their new game but I'm thrilled that they're still successful.

Not a new IP but may feel like one?
So the Atreus spinoff seems more likely then

I used to subscribe annually to PS Extra during the Days of Play event. But the extra 5 days for the outage made me ineligible for the discount, which forced me to think about the value I was getting.

In the end, I decided that I didn't need a year-long membership, even if it was 25% off. The monthly games are often uninteresting for me so I was wasting a lot of money.

I'll now just subscribe on a monthly basis as and when I need to. I expect I'll spend half what I used to in a year without compromising on my gaming. In my opinion, PS Plus is overpriced.

@BecauseBecause
Same lol. Just waiting for that sweet spot between enough new content and a good discount. Our patience shall be rewarded

Very few of us here play Fortnite, Roblox, CoD etc and those are the highest grossing live service games on PS5.
If anything, this survey just reinforces who the target audience is for Marathon

Another crap month. I genuinely think it's better value for money to subscribe monthly nowadays.
Dip in when there's a game I want to play then back out again when there's not.
I won't be subscribing annually ever again.

@Migoshuro
Because other gamers would've bought into the sales pitch from Sony on how the Pro delivers exceptionally better performance. And they could potentially not be getting it on a game as popular as this, £700 later.
It's not that hard to understand tbh.

Still waiting for a game to live up to that Matrix awakens UE5 demo from several years ago. I am tired.

As someone who loves the second game more than the first, I think the momentum has been severely lost. So many problems with season 2, too many to list tbh. Very disappointing

@Fritz167

Yep. As if 5 days extra PS Plus membership is helpful in any way? I bet they couldn't wait to slap that on

Good for him. I wonder if he ever found that Werner Ziegler guy he was looking for

@LifeGirl

I disagree slightly. This is giving Grand Theft Redemption vibes for me. Perhaps we're getting the best of both.

Crazy to think that the first two times I played this, I couldn't get into it.
But after the third time it became one of my favourite games ever, combat flaws notwithstanding.

Well most people didn't buy it at full price so these scores don't count

I hate first person games. I tried Cyberpunk 3x but couldn't get into it.
But Deus Ex is the only exception to that. Really enjoyed the world and story of both PS games

@Johnnycide

If that's sarcasm/a joke - it's probably the funniest thing I've read today.

If you're actually being serious - its definitely the funniest thing I've read today

I'm literally playing Shadow of War for the first time now. Beat Mordor last week.

If I played these at release, I would've kept them. It's game design like this that reminds me of why I became a gamer in the first place.

@get2sammyb
Came to say this.
People need to accept that the gaming industry is moving away from native 4k because it's too taxing.

Machine learning, AI, upscaling, PSSR etc - that is where the industry is headed.

Well the GTA trilogy still needs work. Waiting for a patch to fix the pop in among other things.
A 4k 60fps remaster of GTA 4 should then be next! Preferably before 6 releases.

@Kidfunkadelic83
Damn, I missed that. Will order and try to refund the first one. Thanks!

@riccyb0y
Just bought the second one for £4 from the sale!
Waiting for a discount for the first one and I'll do the same

I really wanna try those middle earth games because of how awesome Nemeis sounds. Was waiting for a 60fps update but with yesterday's news, I realise that ain't happening.

From what I've read it's still many years away so if anything, it'll be a PS6 exclusive.

They won't release it in early Sept if Mafia is coming out in summer. Think I read August somewhere.

Mosty likely GTA releases in November, assuming it's not delayed.

A presumed November release probably gives one reason why we don't have release dates for Yotei or DS2 yet.

Well, their quote says "fiscal year" so calendar Q1 2026 is still a possibility for either title.
