Opening a new console at the starting block of the next generation there’s always a frisson of excitement as you wonder what wonderful games you will be able to play on it in the years ahead… then your thoughts return back to earth as you realise the only games you have available to play right now are just somewhat improved versions of annualised franchises.
PlayStation 5 is different. Emboldened by the PlayStation CEO’s mantra that the firm ‘believes in generations’ it has pushed to innovate with its new console and included with it is the brand new DualSense controller that features two new technologies to increase game immersion.
To introduce them to the player Sony’s Tokyo-based studio Team Asobi has produced a technical showcase Astro’s Playroom that comes preinstalled on every PS5. As it happens, it’s more than just a tech demo, it’s a wonderful game that creatively celebrates the best of PlayStation history.
Microsoft announced its financial results for Q3 of fiscal year 2026, including an update on its gaming Xbox business and more.
Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.
To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.
The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.
Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.
15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.
These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
The charity event will be streamed live from Gamescom in August.
Thanks to the slip-up of an artist working on the title, we now have more evidence that a new Injustice game is in the works.
Absolutely, while I haven't finished the game yet, I feel confident calling it the sleeper hit out of all the launch titles for the two consoles released this year. Sony could have easily charged $20 USD for this game and I wouldn't have complained, but they give it away for free? Awesome, I love pack-in games.
A real gem this game is, it feels like the type of game Nintendo would make, but then I remember that Sony Japan Studios has always created whimsical and charming platformers from TOMBA! to Gravity Rush.
Nah, I went in and played spiderman first.
