Earlier this week, Sony opened up PS5 Pro pre-orders through its PlayStation Direct store, ahead of pre-orders at participating retailers going live on the 10th October. Here in the UK, it took roughly four or five hours for the standard PS5 Pro to sell out — but the 30th Anniversary edition was...

Giant Bomb's Jeff Grubb is almost always reliable when it comes to the timing of Sony's State of Play events, and he reckons there'll be one around 24th September, according to comments he made on his Game Mess Mornings podcast. This would align with previous statements he's made, all pointing...

In the latest PS5 system software update, a major new addition has been made to the console's home screen. A new tile, simply titled Welcome, is being rolled out to all users over the next few weeks, and it's a great new feature that can show you a lot of information about your PS5, friend...

We haven't had a chance to play around with PS5 Pro yet – in fact, no one in the media aside from CNET has. Sony gave the exclusive story to the American site, and invited the outlet to its headquarters in Foster City to try out a dozen or so games. Many of those demos were setup in side-by-side...

The PS2 is the world's biggest-selling home console, and was a huge commercial success for Sony's PlayStation brand. However, its launch was a little more fraught than it needed to be, according to former Sony Computer Entertainment Europe president Chris Deering. Speaking to Simon Parkin on...

Sony has today shared a brief look behind the curtain at its plans to celebrate the 30th anniversary of PlayStation. The PS1 released in Japan on 3rd December 1994, and 30 years later, the brand is still trucking along — and Sony wants to commemorate the occasion. Part of its plans include a new...

Setting what has to be a new record for a game of its size and budget, Concord is officially being taken offline just two weeks after its launch on PS5 and PC. This is a frankly unprecedented move, but one that doesn't come as a massive shock, which speaks volumes about the game's utterly...

With all the Concord doom and gloom going around today, why don't we try a different tact? With Firewalk Studios seemingly in a precarious position, the spotlight now shifts to Sony's other PS5, PC shooter punt, the unfortunately titled Fairgame$, from the Jade Raymond-led first-party studio...

Sony is sending out emails to PS Plus subscribers, notifying them that the Terms of Service for the rewards program PS Stars is being updated, which probably means it's actually online. Starting from 24th October, you must accept these updated terms to continue to be a PS Stars member, and from...
