News Persona 5 Is the Fastest Selling Persona Game in 20 Years
Tops latest Japanese charts on PS4
Persona 5's opening week sales are in, and they're looking pretty good - especially if you're a company named Atlus. The highly anticipated title, which launched in Japan on the 15th September, topped the country's latest software charts on PlayStation 4, while second place was snatched up by the PlayStation 3...
Store Update 20th September 2016 (North America)
Iron-ic
Time to trade in all of your Strange Coins for Destiny: Rise of Iron – if only they were a legitimate currency, eh? Those of you not obsessed with Bungie's latest will probably want to know what else is on offer this week, with Dear Esther: Landmark Edition and The Bunker being obvious choices. PS4 Games: Dear Esther Landmark...
Store Update 20th September 2016 (Europe)
Your Destiny
Destiny: Rise of Iron takes top billing on the European PlayStation Store this week, bringing ample incentive for you to return to Bungie's sci-fi universe. It's been joined by a bunch of lower-profile titles, including Dear Esther, The Bunker, and Virginia – all of which are at the very least worth a look. PS4 Games: TRIALS OF THE...

Splicer to see you, to see you Splicer
2K Games asked you to kindly purchase BioShock: The Collection on the PlayStation 4, and you responded diligently, with the title topping the all-formats charts in the UK this week.

Talking Point What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 135
Iron rising
The nights are drawing in and the skies have turned a subtle shade of grey; the summer's officially over and it's time to start thinking about investing in a new woolly jumper or three. The good news is that while the sun goes on annual leave, games are beginning to release, and while we're not quite in the thick of the silly season just...
News August 2016 NPD: Madden NFL 17, No Man's Sky Top Software Charts
Hello, games
Oh look, it's the NPD report. You may have noticed that we skipped coverage of this over the past couple of months. Apologies for that, but the NPD has changed the way it makes this information available. We used to get platform ordering for software sales and all sorts of other intel, but that can only be accessed by paying members...
News Download All of Battlefield 4's Expansions Free on PS4
Get all five packs without paying a penny
Battlefield 4's been on sale for some stupidly low prices on the PlayStation Store lately, and if you want to really take advantage of the title's deep discounts, then you'll probably want to nab all of its DLC for free. EA has made all five (!) of the outing's expansions complimentary on the PlayStation 4...
News Japanese Sales Charts: PS4 Hits Rock Bottom as Slim Approaches
One more time
The PlayStation 4 Slim launches tomorrow in Japan alongside Persona 5, meaning that regular PlayStation 4 sales have fallen off a cliff. The current-gen console managed to shift just 560 units last week, with the PlayStation 3 actually selling more than double that. All eyes are now on next Wednesday's charts, as they'll feature the...

There's also a new PS2 Classic in the form of Hot Shots Tennis. PS4 Games: BIOSHOCK: THE...
Store Update 13th September 2016 (Europe)
To the hockey
So many PlayStation 4 games. Although, to be fair, this week's European PlayStation Store update is padded by à la carte remaster compilations and about a billion different versions of NHL 17. Does anyone even want the standard version on this side of the Atlantic? PS4 Games: EA Sports FIFA 17 demo 13th September Dead Rising Triple...
News UK Sales Charts: Overwatch Is Still Unbeatable as Uncharted Stretches Its Legs
Tracer on top
Sony must be really, really satisfied with Uncharted 4: A Thief's End. The game's been a constant in the UK top ten since its release, and it's remained in seventh this week. No Man's Sky, another first-party game, is also doing incredibly well for itself – despite the poor word of mouth. It's finished up in eighth this week. But...

News Japanese Sales Charts: PS4 Flatlines as Slim Model Nears
The Witcher 3's back, though
As you'd expect, PlayStation 4 sales are plummeting in Japan ahead of the Slim's imminent arrival. Sony's system sold through just 1828 units last week as the standard PS4 model is slowly phased out to make room for its sleeker sibling. Meanwhile, on the software side of things, there's no really too much to see. The...

Let's hope it's another blip
Uh oh, the PlayStation Network seems to be down again. Over the last couple of weeks, there have been two widely reported outages - although neither has lasted more than a few hours, thankfully. With any luck, this latest downtime will be a similar story. Weighing in with our own experience, we currently can't connect...

News UK Sales Charts: Overwatch Gets Play of the Game as It Jumps Back to Number 1
Uncharted 4 swings back into top 5, too
It's largely a case of the usual suspects when it comes to the latest UK software charts, with Overwatch reclaiming the top spot for the fourth time in its life thanks to a recent price drop. According to Chart-Track - who compiles these charts - Overwatch has now spent more weeks at number one than any other...
Poll Are You Happy with September's PlayStation Plus Games?
Journey of the Fallen
After August's rather divisive offering, the reaction to September's PlayStation Plus selection didn't seem too bad. With superb PlayStation exclusive Journey and the janky but enjoyable Lords of the Fallen up for grabs this month, there's an argument that this is one of the strongest line ups that the service has offered in...
Talking Point What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 133
Are you Red E?
It's the calm before the storm – and not just because we've had a couple of days of hot weather here in the UK. No, we're referring to the fact that the next time we write a WAYP, we'll all know what the PS4K – or Neo – actually is. Exciting stuff, eh? Let's hope it doesn't leak on NeoGAF before Andy House hits the stage...
News PSN Down for Some as Web Rages Over Connection Issues
Offline and out
Battlefield 1's servers may be a bit more functional today, but Sony's aren't it seems. While not everyone appears to be affected, reports are swirling that PlayStation Network is having a few hiccups – despite the platform holder failing to comment at the time of typing. Most likely this is just a temporary blip, as was the case...

Feature PlayStation Now Review - The State of Cloud Gaming in 2016
Stream machine
PlayStation Now has been a fixture in the Sony furniture for some time now, and that's left it a little misunderstood. In absence of true backward compatibility on the PlayStation 4, many see it as a solution for PlayStation 3 gameplay on the Japanese giant's new-gen machine. But, as its recent release on the PC testifies, the...
News PlayStation Plus' September Freebies Include Journey, Lords of the Fallen on PS4
Prince of Persia! Amnesia: Memories! More!
There was a lot riding on September's PlayStation Plus selection following the recent price hike, but dare we say that Sony's delivered?

Better, but not by much
You wait weeks for a steady stream of PlayStation 4 titles to release in Japan, and then four come along at once. That's good news, right?

News UK Sales Charts: Deus Ex: Mankind Divided Hacks Top, But Sales Softer Than Human Revolution
Rusty
Deus Ex: Mankind Divided tapped its way straight to the top of the UK sales charts, but its predecessor Human Revolution enjoyed a "much stronger" first week. That's according to Chart-Track, who compiles the British best sellers list. As expected, the game performed best on the PlayStation 4, which is a very common occurrence for multiformat...

Another week draws to a close, which means that we're now days away from seeing what Sony's got in store at next week's PlayStation Meeting press conference.

Round Up Batman PS4 Reviews Reveal the Telltale Title We Deserve
Much ado about Bruce
There was a time when a new Telltale title was an event, but given how prolific the publisher's been with its episodic output of late, its Batman series has been met by murmurs rather than fervour.
