PS5

Here’s what happened: according to a report from Insider Gaming, Blade Runner: Time to Live entered pre-production in September 2024 and was shelved sometime before March 2025. The game, budgeted at $45 million (including a juicy $9 million set aside for top-tier mocap and acting talent), was aiming for a September 2027 release. That’s a perfectly reasonable window for a single-player, 10–12 hour prestige adventure… and then comes the kicker.

The planned platforms? PC. PS5. Xbox Series X/S. But also—wait for it—“Gen 10 Xbox and PlayStation systems.”

No one throws “Gen 10” around lightly. Studios don’t just slap imaginary consoles onto a production document unless they’ve got at least some confidence in the roadmap. So how would Supermassive know what Sony and Microsoft are doing three years down the line?

One possible answer: because someone told them.

Supermassive’s parent company, Nordisk, has a longstanding and very cozy relationship with Sony. On its own website, Nordisk proudly refers to itself as the Nordic home of PlayStation, handling everything from sales to marketing to logistics. They’ve been in the trenches with Sony through five console launches—and odds are they’re already prepping for number six.

That tracks with recent reports that Sony’s collaboration with AMD on the PS6 chip is already deep into development. According to reputable leaker KeplerL2, the SoC design is complete, and the project is nearing its tapeout phase—a key milestone that usually occurs about two years before retail release.

Translation? 2027 is right on schedule.

A Useful New PS5 Welcome Hub Widget Is Rolling Out to Some Users in Beta​

PS5's Welcome screen is what greets you each time you log into your console, and it's remained mostly unchanged since its introduction — but it seems Sony is readying a brand new widget.

Some users, presumably those signed up to PlayStation's beta program, have received an update to the Welcome hub, adding a new widget to the page.

The Recently Played widget, currently in beta, shows you some stats and info about the last game you booted up.

As we can see from the images, the widget provides a broad view of game progression, Trophy progression, time played, number of friends who play, number of screenshots, and number of sessions.

We imagine this update to the Welcome hub will roll out to everybody in the near future. Whether any other changes are incoming remains to be seen.

Stellar Blade Sequel Confirmed by Developer​

Now, Shift Up has quietly revealed that the popular action game will get a sequel, which could be out in 2026. According to a company presentation (via Insider Gaming), the studio already has several projects in the works. Among them, a “platform expansion” and a sequel to Stellar Blade are scheduled for sometime before 2027, as well as the previously confirmed action title codenamed “Project Witches.” This indicates that Stellar Blade 2 could appear between now and 2026. Plans could change, but this at least indicates that a proper sequel to the title is currently in development and seems to be progressing smoothly enough for the release to seem possible in the near future.

PS5 Could Get a Toxic Player Detection System Ran by AI After Sony Files “Bad Actor” Patent

Could we see a future where PS5 and PS6 users have their behavior tracked by AI? A Sony patent to stop toxic players makes it seem possible!
www.vice.com www.vice.com
Sony may be gearing up to implement a toxic player detection system in PlayStation 5. According to a patent filed, the publisher is looking to crack down on “bad actors” in their games. The dystopian feature would use AI machine learning to analyze whether a user is being “bad” while playing on PS5 or other consoles.

That's the problem, its not an SA thing. Most males are like that across the world. Hell if a Ausi aint swearing at you, you know you gone and f'ed up.

The problem is that most females frown upon it, even my Mrs sometimes have issues when we raid and me and my mates start insulting each other.

Yea Bond looked good, very Uncharted-like though which surprised me.

Marvel Tōkon is going to do numbers I think, the fighting game community is hyped:

 
Hi PS5 weirdos (I’m an Xbox nerd myself), can you please let this noob know if there’s any hack to get a cheap PS Plus subscription (want to get this for my son who has a PS5)? Looking at PS Plus Extra which seems all he’ll want now, with both a catalogue of games and new monthly games.

Oh and before you flame me, I had a PS2, PS3 and a PS4 before …

Why would anyone flame you?

Unfortunately there's no easy way afaik, but the easiest 'hack' is to wait for a discount, which you just missed during Days of Play, next discount is probably end of the year for BF etc. You can always do a month-to-month and make sure it lapses before then to get a possible 30% discount.
