Still need to pick up C33, maybe after I'm done with Death Stranding
I just noticed it's D4, they must be super desperate putting on PS+. Looking at the Steam current players and it's a big yikes...how far Diablo has fallen :/
Will pick it up, but not sure if I'll play it

The game has been out for 2 years with an excluded DLC that costs the same as a game, don't even mention the Micro-transactions, I don't see it as desperate, more like milking Sony as Sony is paying for its listing.
As for Steam player count. Number normally drop at the end of a season
New season drops Tonight at 19h00.
Bro I don’t think they paid a lot for a dead game, come now.
Besides, I bought VoH at launch. It was shite, waste of £40 and I doubt I’ll spend any more money on it unless it’s really good. They are obviously trying to get more players pre-expansion by dropping this on PS+

Its not D3, sure, but its far from a dead game:
Diablo 4
Quick Stats: Live monthly statistics is the summary of the logged Diablo 4 monthly active players. We have also logged
activeplayer.io
What I will concede is that it did not go the path I hoped for but whenever I log in I see loads of people in towns and that with more competition than ever before. IE: itself (D2/D3), POE, POE2, Last Epoch and so on.

That’s just how us gamers talk man, everything has to be dialled to 11.
Maybe I will check it out since its on PS+ but dunno, PoE2 has spoiled me and VoH left a bad taste

I couldn't dig C33, gave it to a buddy. Looking forward to Dying Light: The Beast coming in August!

True that, POE def has spoiled me as well. D4 is easy mode and I normally complete the BattlePass/Seasonal track within a week or 2. POE takes me at least a month. Even D3 takes longer vs D4.
Sadly, a pro for D4 is also a big problem re retention. POE you need to complete all the acts before you even get to end game on every league. D4 takes you about an hour to get to the end game as you can skip everything.
Havent played much of POE2. Waiting for full release. Did get to maps but did not progress far into them.
PS5 Pro is getting a big upgrade in 2026 — I asked Mark Cerny what’s coming, and why AMD’s future PC GPUs feel more 'PlayStation' than ever
Sony's Mark Cerny explains how AMD and Project Amethyst contributed to the PS5 Pro's impending 2026 upgrade
On project Amethyst:
About the upcoming FSR4 on PS5 Pro, Cerny calls it the full implementation and not a cutback version
Cerny mentions heavy involvement on his side with RDNA5/UDNA
Sony isnt expected to talk about the PS6 for years and focus on software
FSR4 on the Pro sounds very interesting indeed

I wonder if the GTA6 delay had anything to do with this?PS5 Pro is getting a big upgrade in 2026 — I asked Mark Cerny what’s coming, and why AMD’s future PC GPUs feel more 'PlayStation' than ever

i.e. they needed to get the game to a more acceptable framerate/resolution than PSSR in its current form could offer.
If so I feel for the Non-Pro owners.
Nah doubt it, every Rockstar game has been delayed at some point.
I think Rockstar will also be targeting the base consoles rather than a handful of Pros, but hopefully FSR4 is available at launch for GTA6!

Well MS just fired all their devs, so someone has to make games for XB.
Send in the reinforcements

It's a great game, I played for 2 seasons and then moved on though, you sit and farm....and farm....AND farm for the same damn thing over and over again. Oh, and then you get these "mega experts" that sit and tweak their builds to the last keystone and have a chortle about their superiority in one-shotting opponents, meanwhile they don't have the 180ms latency you do, and that's why they're owning you
Oh, and then there's the obligatory " I might go buddhist chai latte necro, or a coal miner vegan werewolf" , like the rest of us actually give a toss

And with Gears of War launching on PS, the same day as Helldivers 2 drops on Xbox, all I can say is that I hope more games break the exclusive barrier. Only good for us gamers.
Don't say exclusives should not exist, just like, time-gates would be a better option for gamers, even if that means after x time it launches on PC as well.
I agree, I think it hurts the company and the consumer, trying to keep a hold on exclusive games. Sony knows now that Xbox is not competing on hardware level anymore.
I like the idea of time based exclusivity. 3-6 months should still push hardware imo

Just remember it is a 20 year old game, learnt that lesson from Reloaded.
Hopefully they actually bring some life improvements that 2 and 3 brought to the franchise
