@Oram77 Thanks for the suggestions, though tbh many of the games you listed I’ve already played and finished, with little appetite to revisit them. Saying that, I’ve heard AC Shadows looks amazing on the Pro, and I haven’t yet finished that game.

I hope we get some PS5/Pro gameplay footage before the release date. I’m worried we have another Cyberpunk 2077 on our hands, though I’m happy to be proven wrong. This game, and GTA 6, may actually convince me to get the Pro 🤔

This could either be one of the best games of the year, or the biggest disappointment 😳

It will be interesting to see if it’s just a visual upgrade, or whether they’ve actually tinkered with any of the game’s mechanics to bring it more in line with the sequel 🤔

@SteveJaye @Northern_munkey @VeganH @graymamba @somnambulance @species Thanks for all the suggestions! I have played several of those recommended, especially The Division games and Titanfall 2, but there’s a few there I’ve yet to play, so thanks.

Slightly off topic, but can anyone recommend a good PvE shooter?

It doesn’t make sense to cancel something that was so far along. I could understand if it was still early in development, but this is just throwing money down the drain.

I think a lot of people will buy it digitally anyway, so they can preload it. Let’s face it, it’s gonna be a BIG game, so having it downloaded and ready to go on day 1 will be very appealing to a lot of players.

@Midnyte-Monkey This is one of the most requested titles for a 60fps patch from Ubisoft - surely it must be on the cards 🤔

If Unity gets a 60fps patch AND a resolution bump, I’ll be happy 😃

Have Ubisoft got anything coming out in the near future, or even in 2026? 🤔

It looks amazing, almost too good. I’m more worried about performance on consoles 😳 Going gold almost 2 months before release is hopefully a good sign though, meaning they can use this window to fully optimise it for the inevitable day 1 patch.

@naruball I guess the point is that even though it came out a year ago on Xbox, the game is NEW to the PS5. When it was new on Xbox it was $20 more.

I played this on Series X and highly recommend it, it’s in my top 5 games of 2025. The combat is great and very flexible - eg you can have an axe in one hand and a wand in the other! Also, exploring the world is a joy, and going off the beaten path is often rewarded. I finished the game ages ago, but am looking forward to NG+.

I’m soooooooooo up for this!

I’ve played through the game twice now, which is something I rarely do. I played it when it first came out, and tbh I never found the bugs that bad. Then I played through it again when the 2.0 version and Phantom Liberty DLC dropped. I think they created an amazing futuristic open world, one that I still sometimes go back to despite having completed it. I can’t wait for the sequel.

For that comment alone, I hope Paramount win out 😂

I own the original Xbox 360 disc, which apparently there’s no free upgrade path for 😡 from what videos I’ve seen I’m certainly not coughing up £50 or even the £25 sale price for it.

Biggest animated movie opening of all time?!? Considering all of Disney and Pixar’s output thats no mean feat 👏👏

These devs were punching well above their weight for such a small team. I really enjoyed The Ascent and it looked amazing. Looking forward to this announcement 🤔

Not gonna happen 🤷🏻‍♂️

Last time I tried to get back into Destiny 2 I was just overwhelmed by all the different currencies and systems 😳 the onboarding for lapsed or even new players could definitely be improved. The actually gunplay was amazing and some of the best in class.

Even better would be a shadow drop straight after the game awards!

I hope these issues are resolved by the time PS6 goes into production 🤞

I still haven’t finished the game yet, though am now in the final region - Oshima coast. It’s great that NG+ will be available sooner rather than later. I hate it when they add NG+ ages later by which time you’ve long finished the game and have forgotten all the controls 😂 So when I finish it soon, I now have the option of diving straight into NG+.

I think what I might start doing is have my sub expire just before Black Friday every year, that way I can then renew at a lower rate. Is there a downside to having small gaps in your membership, even if only a few days? Not as far as I can tell 🤔

Ghost of Yōtei Around 60 hours in and have only just killed the third of the Yōtei six!
The outer worlds 2 I never really got into the first game, but after a slow start the sequel is growing on me. Have just spent half the morning trying to sneak into the Vox relay station…and now I’m in!
EA FC26 This is the first FIFA/FC game I’ve bought in years. After hearing about the “authentic” mode of play I decided to play the trial and then subsequently bought the game. I still think there are defending and AI issues (I only play offline, in career mode) but on the whole I’m enjoying it.
Lumines arise Bought and downloaded, and hope to give it a proper play over the weekend.
Winter burrow Just started playing this on Gamepass. I don't usually do survival games, but this is a “cozy” survival game, and it’s hard not to fall for it’s charms 😊

Was the research sponsored by Sony? 😉

Ghost of Yōtei, and it’s not even close.

I was hoping the helicopter pilot would shout out “you can’t park there mate” 😂

How’s this game on base PS5 now? Have they improved technical performance since launch?

Can’t stop playing Ghost of Yōtei! I love this game. Around 35 hours in, and have still only killed one of the Yōtei six - The Snake - who you kill at the start of the game 😂 I just keep getting sidetracked. Have now unlocked all melee weapons. By the time I do get to kill the rest of the Yōtei six I should be fully armed and ready 💪👊

So can you buy the directors cut of DS1 to take advantage of the PS5 graphics, but can then use power saver mode to revert back to PS4 graphics, or worse 🙃

I’ve had a bug where the game won’t let me play anything else…because I can’t get enough of GoY 😂

Mostly playing Ghost of Yōtei, which i absolutely love. Great mix of combat and world exploration. I love the way many of the side quests unfold, which feel more organic than most open world games. And the game looks gorgeous 😍 even on base PS5. This is seriously a GOTY contender for me!

The only reason the internet should be required for single player games is for updating/patches, not to simply play the game!

Who handled the upgrade then? I thought Mimimi were no more? 🤔

I dropped down from premium to essential earlier in the year. Ngl, this is the first time since that they’ve added a game I would have played - Silent Hill 2. Oh well, another year or so and it will be on essential 😂

I’m surprised they’re not aiming for a 2028/2029 release, given that the PS5 had significant availability problems during Covid. And even if the next Xbox is slightly more powerful than PS6 I don’t think it will make much difference, given that the Series X is slightly more powerful than the PS5.

Only Ghost of Yōtei for me, which is already installed and ready to go! Still busy with Borderlands 4 and Hades 2, so those coupled with GoY should keep me busy for a while 😀

@Titntin thanks! 👍

Have preloads started yet and what is the install size on base PS5?

Not really much difference to the character models in Kojima’s own Death stranding 2, which were already hugely impressive.

I’ve nearly bought it a few times, especially when AC Shadows came out, but ultimately always decided against it. The only game likely to change my mind now will be GTA 6.

Have they released details re graphics modes yet? Is there the usual performance/fidelity (60/30fps) modes?

Seeing as I preordered AC Shadows I’ll be getting this for free, so will definitely play it at some point. I don’t want to play it this close to Ghōst of Yotei though.

I can’t see many people turning this feature on. Unless Greta Thunberg takes up gaming 😂

As much as I’m looking forward to this, I hope they don’t charge full price (£/$70) for it, and instead give it a price tag more akin to Mafia the old country.

I think when preloads start the internet will break 😂

No time right now! Currently playing Borderlands 4, Hades 2 next week, then Ghost of Yotei the week after! It could be a while 😂
