@TheFakulty I would beg to differ. Yes, very likely COD MP numbers are down, but Warzone numbers are higher up. COD + Warzone has more players in total than COD would have on its own. No company would sustain both games if it wasnt be viable...

@TheFakulty and warzone is not competing with COD itself? Those are two different experiences tho. Multiplayer with 2 teams, or only fight for yourself. Nice cool missions to complete while battling other squads. And F2P will attract some of rhose who didnt want to spend money for BF6

@PloverNutter did they did same approach before BO6?

@Oram77 you are confused. Only you are staggering it. Years away is for both, PS6 and handheld. There is no point to mention PS6 console if all article is about handhelds...

I have played 4 hours of Outer Worlds 2 today on PS5 PRO. Performance mode is my choice and it looks good. There is slight surface inconsistency here and there, like slight shimmering, there was in cutscene some shadow shimmering, but nothing is game breaking or taking me really out of game. In overall game looks good, feels good and in general I am enjoying game.

@johndoe89 it is already announced that PSSR 2.0 is targeted to release in first half of 2026... mister drama

@T-Bone09 Yeah, I would like such game as seperate too. COD/BF weapon combat is very satisfying. And it is hard for established brands to add substantial games because people will never really think Extraction shooter when you will say COD or BF. But again, I am stressed about PvP in those games. Same with arc raiders. That game feels great, it could ramp up AI, but PvP part brings up stress which I don't enjoy. And they will go with PvP heavy for DMZ 2.0 too. I can imagine they will not think to implement Solo servers...

@T-Bone09 Extraction shooter requires lot more development than simple Battle Royale. Battle Royale is like addition using all available resources already in game, Extraction shooter would need to be more substantial game. Activision invested some time, but probably numbers showed, that it is not generating enough of interest/money to evolve it properly. I played DMZ a lot. But look at Arc Raiders, that is proper Extraction Shooter. To expect something close to that from BF6/COD is not realistic.

With core audience and 15€ monthly sub it is going strong

Review coming after 4 weeks
Great game, please kick your children out of the room. It has very open language
Felt scummed when I realised it has Episodical release. 2 episodes every week. Tho first 2 episodes were very short. One training gameplay, and 1x day work. If it will be like that in every episods by having only 1x work day then this is sad. That Dispatch Gameplay has something in it with all those synergies and skills, etc. But if it just for "show", than I will be sad.

@Slippship PS5 is on par or even outperforming PS4. I think you just live on imaginary idea. Yes, PS4 was huge and thats why it will take longer time to surpass overall sales, but for now, it is on track to do that.

@Jammer Fortnite is more than Battle Royale. It is like Roblox type of things. There is BR, there Lego survival/crafting game, Lego City Life simulator and many more + player created experiences. I am not saying you should be interested in Fortnite in any way, but for younger players there lot of things to do in general.

Is Ubisoft changing their formula for games?
Avatar Frontiers of Pandora is "only" £24.99, but there is no more Gold, Deluxe or Ultimate edition. It is only addons.
It still has page for Gold edition in PS5 store but it doesnt work.

Star Wars Outlaws are still on old scheme.

@PuppetMaster yeah, especially if you like sci-fi type of TV shows. IMDB it is 8.5 which would count as very high.

@PuppetMaster sad. I love TV show and Owlcat games are known for great RPG's, Pathfinders is their main IP. And now they are finishing up proper 3D action-RPG for first time. They usually built isometric games.

@PuppetMaster you forgot The Expanse: Osiris Reborn

@saffeqwe counting years? It was 4 and now will be 3. You are counting years when I guess you even dob't own Pro model. Who is salty here? "Oh, I dont have gen only games, everything is so bad. How dare they think to release next one when this even didnt had so many gen exclusive games"
Yes, there are some iasues with game developed by 3rd partuly companies when Pro version isnt great at launch. Yes it is different from PS4 Pro, because now it is software issue more than hardware. But at the same time plenty of games look on another level when PSSR is done correctly. But you keep up this positivity

@saffeqwe I don't, In past 9 years I have bought 3 phones. Same as 3 different consoles.

@Medic_alert switch on Ghost of Yotei. From Playstation main menu to in game world ready to move is 10 seconds. Mark Cerny talks what is possible, it depends if Game Devs do that. Sony devs are doing that, Ratchet and Clank was first game with such fast loading. And show me some game which starts faster on PS4 than PS5... your claims are ridiculous. If you are playing on PS5, then you definately have alraady forgotten how slow it was on PS4 even for regular loads.

And what is wrong with such evolution? There is no room to grow significantly to blow your mind. Cutting loading time from 2min to 30 sec is easy to appreciate. Cutting 30 sec to 10 sec is much harder, but in reality you are not appreciating that and how much that costs, because that is not so tangible.

@saffeqwe I intentionally wrote every other year. Who is not reading now?
I have PS4 Pro, I have PS5 and PS5 Pro. I am lucky that I can afford to play on best hardware. But I dont get hate? Most of playerbase is using PS5... PS5 Pro, same as PS4 Pro is niche product for those who wants the best at given time and pays extra for that, but that is small amount of players. When PS6 will come out it will be already 7 years from PS5, what are you on about fanboy'ism?

Around 25% active userbase is daily running PS4, likely for many reasons skipping PS5 and more likely buying PS6 straight away. I don't get why you get offended when company have technology progress and creates products etc

@Medic_alert what promises didn't come true? Or you had unrealistic expectations just so you can point out what they can't even deliver or didn't promised in first place.

@Max_the_German PSSR is just FSR for consoles in very simplistic language. It is still AMD hardware. Sony is working with AMD on all that to maximize gains. Everything new asks for learning curve but PSSR will allow to cut down time eventually as more it gets implemented. Does new games suffer to implement DLSS, FrameGen, FSR? For PS console it will be PSSR.

@Czar_Khastik no, we need it because it will be chaaper than PS5 Pro, but better than PS5. Just because something isnt used by 100% every time that there shouldnt be evolution in technology or opportunities. I am harsh, yeah, but I dont get this thinking style that having options is such bad thing. "How dare you not release 25 games maxed out before releasing new console. Shame on you"

@Max_the_German then jokes are on you. And what wouldnt be joke to you? That PS5 Pro would be main console for 10 years?
Did you said same thing when PS4 Pro were released? Hard to understand, I am happily using Pro for almost year. 2 more years are ahead. We can buy phone every other year but buying console for active minor community cant exceed once per 3-4 years?

@CrispyMango92 app counts only hours app is open. It doesnt add mystic hours. Then be open and say that you have left game open while doing different things

@FuzzieGinge88 how they can trust you that you will not try to go Online?

@Veritas7Ax now you are talking about all games. Previously you used Exclusive PS games. Whatever suits you, I guess, when you get challenged.

Yes, there are loads of PS4 games, because there is still market for that. I would expect that still 25-33% of active playerbase is still using PS4. Yeah, from one side pushing PS5 only games would push some of them to move towards PS5 purchase, or opposite, it would push them away feom playstation. It is all business. Games are expensive to make, and if you want to make more money you would sell to most people possible.

I expect upcoming outcry when PS6 will not get any exlusive game and all games will come out to PS5 too. That will be reality and then people like you will switch stance, "atleast PS5 got some Exclusive games, not like PS6 5 years in and there is none".
I don't get what you are expecting with PS6? It will really change? Logic says it will get even worse. Difference between visual quality between PS5 and PS6 will be even less.

@Veritas7Ax 1% is big lie tho

@CallMeDuraSouka as it is written on homepage, that Gear Playstation isn't Playstation own store. It is controlled by 3rd party company. Probably it wasn't as proffitable as that company wanted it to be. Maybe they have great quality etc, but in overall those prices are very high.

@CallMeDuraSouka maybe you are not so much nerd. Playstation has/had Gear store. Same with Blizzard gear store and Betshesda store. Those I know on the beat

@DennisReynolds I will try it later today. But at launch day imo it looked worse in medium+ distance than DL2, which I really liked visually. I know, graphics isnt everything, but I like beautifull picture like DL2, KCD2 etc.

@DennisReynolds Thank you. When it was released? It even shows PS5 Pro tag in shop. Interesting. Did it improved game from release day?

I will wait for PS5 Pro patch... please

@4fold it is forbidden in their country. It will not impact rest of world. Just because they would own, doesnt mean they can't continue. They will buy for 50B, optimise offices, lay off some people, will squeeze better proffits and in couple years they will try to sell it for 60B+. It most likely is just short term investment

@AgentMantis what Company? It is owned by shareholders. There is no majority owner. They just need to agree to cash in. Stocks are up 15%

@MaccaMUFC very likely it was meant as Xbox exclusive some time ago. But that pivoted in this year. They cancelled Forza Motoraport and moved Turn 10 team to Forza Horizon, and how it seems from xbox blog post, Turn 10 is working on PS5 port, but it will ot be ready on time.

@StrifeInMidgar why give people 4% cashback? If you can push them to spend even more

So I can't deal with Volatile, but I can easily kill 2nd Chimera. And that small european city is crowding with infected... when game starts with remainder that 99% of people were wiped out

@AaronBayne but it doesnt look on same level as DL2. This doesnt come with PS5 PRO enhanced. Yeah, close up is good, but everything in slight distance is worse. Similar as BL4,, why skipping PS5 pro love

@nessisonett maybe it is not pushed for you. But Sony already stated that PS5 is on end cycle as it crossed half way of its lifetime and main focus is PS6.
Games will be playable on PS5/PS6 for long time, so there is no need to somehow push PS5 specifically. It sells good. Lot of games are coming ( non 1st party) and life is good, not doom and gloom as you are trying to make

@RoomWithaMoose tariffs doesnt have any shor term influence for good outcome. Tariffs are long term game, where in short term you pay for everything more whatever is tariffs on

It will be hard to get their foot in doors when ETS2 and ATS are coming to consoles aswell likely in 2026.

@JayJ you still are so defensive about your opinion when it only applies for Nintendo games, in this case only 2 games on list. Every list is not accurate because Sony and publishers are hiding it sales numbers in general unless they
have overachieved.

But Sony is probiding in its Blog Digital monthly sales rankings. Yes, without specific unit amount. But trends are clearly visible.

@JayJ Digital sales has asterix. Nintendo games has asterix. Can you connect the dots?

You should investigate more in this story. There is lot of information that game By Default will be 60fps. Performance modes will aim 90fps for PS5 and 120fps for PS5 PRO

@MaccaMUFC Campaign has all the crazy sets. Online is as active as players make it. It is players task to create epic moments, isnt it?

@Fiendish-Beaver it hasnt been 80£. It was and is 70£. All price increase at this moment is only towards US and $. Yes, it could push £/€ up eventually but still at this moment it is not true about 80£

@Ellie-Moo isn't fact that 3 months ago Sony raised same regular digital PS5 prices by 40£ from 389.99£ to 429.99£? Obviously this price raise was moved to special bundle too. Details, details
