News PS5 Hardware Trailer Is Completely X-Rated
Not safe for work
Sony’s dropped a new PlayStation 5 hardware trailer, showing its entire next-gen product line. This is a saucy clip that’s certainly not safe for work, indulging in all of the curves and angles of the company’s new console. It’s not massively dissimilar to videos we’ve seen of the device in the past, but we’re always...

Reclaiming your Eddies
In a crazy year like 2020, we probably should have expected Cyberpunk 2077’s utter implosion – but it’s still taken us by surprise, we must admit.

Polish developer pledges ongoing support
In a mind-blowing announcement that’s still left us reeling here at Push Square Towers, Sony has removed Cyberpunk 2077 from the PlayStation Store until further notice. That effectively means that it’s ceased selling the title until developer CD Projekt RED improves it. The ma

Soapbox I'm Really Enjoying Cyberpunk 2077
Sammy wants to acknowledge the game's merits
Potentially controversial counterpoint: Cyberpunk 2077 is a very good game that’s been almost entirely undone by CD Projekt RED’s decision to push it out of the door prematurely. Seeing the game delisted from the PS Store overnight – after a sh*tstorm that somehow stinks more than Fallout 76 and...

News Ubisoft Shoves XP Boosting Microtransaction into Assassin's Creed Valhalla a Month After Launch
Predictable!
Ubisoft got blasted for putting a "time-saving" experience point booster into Assassin's Creed Odyssey — a booster that you could purchase with real money.

PS5, PS4 hardware sales in the gutter
Cyberpunk 2077 was unquestionably one of the biggest games of the year, and it even managed to find an audience in Japan, moving a very respectable 104,687 boxed copies on the PlayStation 4. It wasn’t enough to top the charts – Nintendo Switch title Momotaro Dentetsu: Showa, Heisei, Reiwa mo Teiban had that...

News Cost of Fixing Cyberpunk 2077 Irrelevant, Says CD Projekt RED
"We made our promise to gamers"
CD Projekt RED, an unrivalled industry darling up until about a week ago, has its entire reputation on the line right now.

We'll probably be waiting a while, though
It may be Christmas, but CD Projekt RED is poised to launch a rescue mission, as Cyberpunk 2077 is not up to par on last-gen platforms. The company admitted as part of an emergency board meeting that it’s “too early to judge” what will become of the title’s previously promised free DLC add-ons an

It was one of the streaming services missing from our All PS5 Apps list at launch, but now HBO Max has been added to the PlayStation 5’s roster of on-demand video services.

Inconsistency causing confusion
The debacle surrounding Cyberpunk 2077 has, not for the first time, highlighted a gaping flaw in the PlayStation Store.
