I think Sony’s been so shrewd with the way it’s handled the transition from physical media to digital downloads. The company definitely would prefer you purchase all of its games from the PlayStation Store: it cuts out retailers and resales, removes physical overheads like manufacturing and storage, and ties you into its ecosystem tighter. But …

As we’ve already iterated as part of our PS5 review, the new DualSense controller is a bit of a revelation in terms of gameplay feedback. The pad allows you to feel PlayStation 5 games in a way that you never could with past DualShock devices, providing force feedback in the triggers and ridiculously realistic rumble …

Sony bigwig Jim Ryan had one message for fans as the PlayStation 5 launched in the United States today: thank you. Presumably that has little to do with the bumper bonuses he’s about to pocket once the console inevitably breaks sales records, and more to do with the fact that he appreciates every single one …

What can we tell you about the new PlayStation Store? Well, first of all it’s really convenient, because it exists within the system software rather than a separate app. This means that when you use the console’s search function, for example, it’ll bring up options in the PS Store, and when you click those items …
Proof, perhaps, that making a big ol’ stink on the Internet can work in your favour sometimes: Insomniac Games has announced that it’ll allow you to export your save from Marvel’s Spider-Man on the PlayStation 4 and import it into Marvel’s Spider-Man Remastered on the PlayStation 5.

Sony’s said that its “home market remains of utmost importance”, after a Bloomberg report claimed the company’s interest in its native Japan is waning. The platform holder is now largely run by Europeans, while its headquarters have moved to San Mateo in the United States. All of this, combined with dwindling home console sales in …
Sony rolled out its new PlayStation Store on web browser and mobile near the end of last month, and simply put, it’s a huge downgrade on the previous design. Game pages have been stripped of key features like screenshots and even related product links. It all just feels totally unfinished. Fortunately, ‘unfinished’ could be the …

It had been assumed, up until recently, that PlayStation 5 games would be able to use the existing PlayStation VR headset for virtual reality experiences. That’s not the case, according to a Sony statement sent to UploadVR. In a bizarre and disappointing twist, the organisation has admitted that in order to experience titles like Hitman …
Do you know what PlayStation VR was missing? Another bloody cable! Sony’s somewhat short-sightedness means that the proprietary slot used for the PlayStation Camera on the PlayStation 4 is no more on the PlayStation 5, and thus it’s having to supply PSVR users with a free adaptor to make up for its foolishness.
