@Fiendish-Beaver Thanks!

@IOI @Americansamurai1 I think people really need to realise that fans care considerably more about anniversaries than companies do. You shouldn't really be going into these kinds of things expecting entire game projects; stuff like this is about the best it gets. When was the last time a company really, properly celebrated an anniversary the way fans hoped it would?

@OldGamer999 Nah, the video title reveals the gameplay to be "experienced player gameplay".

@MrMagic Yes he did: "Please note that the January 2025 tracking period consisted of 4 weeks, as compared to January 2024’s 5 week tracking period."

@Westernwolf4 The game refers back to events that take place in the ending of Infinite Wealth and it assumes you have knowledge of them. The story of Pirate Yakuza is mostly standalone, but it does have a canon place in the timeline that it uses to build upon previous events.

@mariomaster96 You'll be fine to play this straight away. Besides the links to the story of Infinite Wealth, the game is probably the most standalone experience in the whole mainline series.

@arra1213 You lose access to PS Plus Extra and PS Plus Premium games when they're removed from the service no matter whether you've downloaded/redeemed them or not.

@thefourfoldroot1 It is going to be, yes.

@EfYI That's not what I said though, is it? "a chance to win you over when it is properly revealed" — when we see gameplay and trailers.

@Frmknst As much as you might dislike it, Borderlands 3 sold 18+ million copies. It is absolutely a big series.

@Lotan52 Fixed, thanks for that!

@misak192 Yep: https://www.pushsquare.com/news/2025/01/elden-ring-nightreign-network-test-sign-ups-available-now

@AK4tywill I meant "twist" there, expanded the sentence a little!

@Nepp67 They're correct for the UK timezone, which is where we're from. The table lists most major timezones and gives your own personal one at the bottom.

@Dalamar Mini Reviews allow us to cover a wider range of games than just the main releases. We simply wouldn't have the time to cover all the games we do if everything was a full-length review. We're a small team working to the best of our capabilities.

@Anke Thanks for the spot there pal, that's fixed now!

@rjejr It's the chest next to any of Brock and Sindri's shop you find. They all share the same loot you've missed so it won't matter which one you go to.

I suspect this is a very common practice at the bigger publishers; it just isn't made public as often. Nothing to worry about here!

@Anke I’m glad you’re finding my guides helpful!

@themightyant Sony doesn't count games like MLB The Show and Gran Turismo 7 when it discusses live service. I don't know why, because they absolutely are Games as a Service, but for some reason Sony just doesn't.

@PloverNutter Thanks for pointing that out!

Let's remember to stay on-topic, thank you.

@AdamNovice Yeah, I believe it's going live tomorrow.

@springer17 Thank you for pointing that out 😂

@Barry_vV If we hated it, the game wouldn't appear on any of these lists or our overall top 10 at all.

@CWill97 I've been playing through it again these past few days, and outside of the opening 10 minutes, I haven't noticed these issues at all. I've been playing on the Performance Mode on PS5 Pro.

@BIG3 Yeah the login function seems a little glitchy at the moment. I was able to login and complete it but now I try and look again and it's gone.

@riceNpea Sony can't influence the release dates of the vast majority of the games in the trailer either?

@Medic_alert They're only available to use for a limited time. You don't redeem them or anything.

@KundaliniRising333 Saying this in regards to Shu Yoshida, who is quite clearly one of the most passionate gamers at the company and has been there for 31 years to help bring the PS1, PS2, PS3, and PS4 to market, is wild.

@Jill_Sandwich You subscribe to Fortnite Crew and get automatic access to the premium tracks of every future Battle Pass.

@LifeGirl Prestiging doesn't start you with the worst weapons in the game. One of the most meta guns, the XM4, is unlocked straight away.

People enjoy going through the levelling process again and you get more bonuses than ever before for doing it in Black Ops 6.

@somnambulance It’s heavily rumoured that Doom Guy and Master Chief will be skins in Black Ops 6 at some point.

@NEStalgia Actually, they very much are for readers. These PS5 Pro articles aren’t setting the world on fire views-wise. We’re writing them because we’re a PlayStation-focused website covering a new PlayStation console launch.

For every person who complains about a PlayStation-focused website covering a new PlayStation console launch, we add another game to the list to write about.

@riceNpea Nah, luckily the story was incredible on day one.

@LavenderShroud That's 77.7 million PS5 games sold during the Q2 2024 preiod, not across the entire generation.

@CielloArc A very small pool of online fanboys doesn't represent an entire console community. Let's not make comments like this and be better.

@wildcat_kickz It should be day one, but Sony hasn't listed it for some reason.

@Luna-Harmony I'd personally swap over the SSD after you've done the Data Transfer of all your internal data, but I don't think it really matters.

@themightyant I have read this method is possible, yeah. I just haven't seen it in action yet so didn't want to commit to it in the guide.

@MxBcardi Yes it will work, the SSD won't need formatting when you insert it into the PS5 Pro.

@Loki7T1 My install is at 244GB for Call of Duty overall, but I do have some Modern Warfare 3 stuff and all of Warzone still on there.

@rjejr That would leave us with dead links that don't lead anywhere from social media posts, and we always try to direct readers to the most up to date information, particularly when it goes from rumour to official.

@Oram77 It also includes fixes and updates the base PS5 can use.

@rjejr The original article from this morning was redirected to this one with the latest information.

@Th3solution Yes it's on Game Pass too.

@Throb You lose access to them on PS Plus Extra and PS Plus Premium once they leave, there's no way around it.

@Kidfunkadelic83 Yeah, the radio is still in the game and functions the same way.

@AlexPorto I played on normal and didn’t find the puzzles all that difficult, and I rarely died. The hard mode would definitely be the best option if you’re looking for more of a challenge.

@Hyena_socks There are a few manual save locations in each main area, but you also get 3 autosave that are replacing one another as you progress. I never lost more than a few minutes of progress when I died.
