Renowned leaker billbill-kun shared the first look at the PS5 Pro earlier this week, and Sony has now basically confirmed the design as part of PlayStation's 30th anniversary blog post. In the celebratory image, Sony sneakily added a mockup that seems very much in line with the leaked one.
We are entering another packed month for PlayStation Plus. Not only are we getting our typical monthly Essential and Extra batches of titles, but those will contain some games coming to the subscription service the day they launch as well. One of those launched earlier this week and it’s the first Harry Potter game to be released on consoles since Hogwarts Legacy. On top of that, there are still some great games from August’s PS Plus Premium lineup that you should get around to playing. Those are the games to check out if you’re looking for something to play this weekend.
Astro Bot is here and the reviews are outstanding - in fact, Sony's new platformer is getting the kind of praise typically reserved for Mario games. One throughline in all the early praise is that PlayStation might finally have a contender against Nintendo's platforming crown.
Forget Oasis tickets, this season's real gold-dust item just dropped. It's, uh, Concord. Yes, the doomed hero shooter from Firewalk Studios that Sony is unceremoniously yanking the plug on tomorrow.
The PlayStation 5 Pro is going to be revealed early next week, according to rumors circulating online.
Sony's big-budget PlayStation 5 hero shooter is shuttering only a couple of weeks after its release, and I wish I could say that I'm surprised. With a big cinematic trailer and gameplay reveal that opened Sony's State of Play showcase in May, was straining to be the next live-service hit. The response was far from enthusiastic, however, and in the months following the State of Play, the road to release started to look more and more like a death march.
This morning, 35 Steam players, myself included, started up Concord and decided to play a few games of Rivalry, a competitive mode in Concord that dishes out the most XP available. After waiting for five minutes (I'm queuing with PS players, too), I finally got into a match, if you can call it that.
Releasing only a PlayStation 5 Pro digital model would help Sony keep the system's price down, as the Japanese company seems to be struggling to contain production costs.
