Feature Happy New Year from the Push Square Team
Auld lang Sony
Welcome to 2024! The time for ponderous Christmas reflection is over, as we reset ahead of what looks to be another action-packed year. The coming months are especially outrageous for PS5: January alone will play host to the likes of Tekken 8 and Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth – two titles which are looking utterly essential, and...
Feature We Wish You a Merry Christmas
Compliments of the season to you
It’s been an action-packed year, hasn’t it? From the Activision Blizzard courtroom drama through to the absolutely stacked release calendar from start-to-finish, this is our first real opportunity to reflect on 2023. Merry Christmas, by the way, we sincerely hope you and your entire family have a fun one...
Random Push Square Was a Question on a UK Quiz Show
And they got the answer wrong
Push Square has gone mainstream – well, at least as mainstream as you can get when it comes to UK quiz shows. As spotted and shared by reader BlaizeV (seriously, we’d never have known about this without you), our humble PlayStation community was referenced in a 29th September episode of Tipping Point. In the show,...
Community Push Square Community's Best Game of All Time Has Been Decided
Best of the best
You may recall that, a couple of weeks ago, the Push Square readership narrowed down its Best Game of All Time knock-out tournament to two finalists. After whittling the games down in a series of one-on-one votes, it all came down to a pair of iconic PlayStation titles — Bloodborne and Final Fantasy VII. It was a case of old vs...
Community Push Square Readers Narrow Down Best Game of All Time Vote to Two Classics
Old vs. new
We're facing up against that eternal question yet again — what's the best game of all time? Which single title trumps all others? It's impossible to truly answer, as there are countless incredible games that could be worthy of being labelled the GOAT. However, that's not dissuaded our enthusiastic readership from finding an answer...
Feature Wishing You a Happy New Year from the Push Square Team
Welcome to 2023
And thus concludes another marginally less unusual – but no less dramatic – year! Welcome to 2023, folks, where we all ride on hover boards and have augmented reality lenses installed into our eyes. Not really, of course! It’s basically the same as 2022, except we’re all a little bit older and can’t afford to turn on our...

Compliments of the season to you
Well, then, our annual Christmas message is becoming a bit of a festive tradition, isn’t it? It’s a bit like the queen’s speech, except she won’t actually be doing one this year because – well, y’know! Anyway, we digress. Wherever you’re reading this, it’s 25th December, which means the big-bellied...
Soapbox Ask Push Square's Video Producer Anything
We're on the hunt for your burning questions.
Hello there Push Square community! My name is Aaron, and for the last six months I have been your resident YouTube video producer. It is a great gig to say the least, where I get to discuss, rant, and dissect my favourite (and least favourite) aspects of the PlayStation world. This week marks six months...
Feature Happy New Year from the Push Square Team
Onwards and upwards
As one unusual year comes to a close, another begins. The world is a strange place at the moment, and it doesn't look like we'll be getting back to normality any time soon. One more year we are happy to see the back of, it seems. At least we were kept occupied by PlayStation 5. Sony is selling the console as quickly as it can...
Feature We Wish You a Merry Christmas
Compliments of the season to you
We feel like we could copy and paste the opening sentence from our 2020 Merry Christmas message and nobody would be none the wiser: "We’re hesitant to mention it, but it’s been a strange old year, hasn’t it?" Yes, for the second full year in a row, the world hasn't quite been its normal self. Thankfully, in...
Talking Point What Content Do You Want from Push Square?
Share your feedback and suggestions
It's been a slow start, hasn't it? When you compare the first few weeks of 2021 to the excitement and speculation that came with the PlayStation 5 launch and the 10 months before it, the hand we've been dealt has been comparatively light. That's largely thanks to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic and the teething...

We go again
Well, then – that’s the end of that. As much as we wished we could, we can’t imagine any of us will be forgetting 2020 in a hurry – it’s been an unfathomably bad year for every single one of us, and frankly we’re glad to see the back of it. The one shining light amid the 12 months of misery is that Sony absolutely smashed it,...

Compliments of the season to you
We’re hesitant to mention it, but it’s been a strange old year, hasn’t it? The good news is that things have been reasonably consistent for us PlayStation fans: we’ve enjoyed great games, got an awesome new console, and the software slate for 2021 is looking just as strong as ever. In that sense, we should be...

We go again
Historically, we’ve opened these articles with a sense of surprise. A brand-new year? Already? The clock in the corner of our computer says it’s 2020, but that can’t be accurate, can it? It doesn’t feel like that long since we were welcoming 2019, and already we’re being forced to celebrate an entirely new decade? Preposterous!...

This is typically the time of year where computers get shutdown, email notifications get enabled, and Mulled Wine gets stewed.

Remembering a decade of (mostly) outstanding PlayStation coverage
Every good story starts with a eureka moment! My fledgling music career had fizzled out before I’d even had chance to finish my mathrock cover of Bump in the Night, and a bright-eyed Sammy Barker – then with much better, much blonder hair – decided to do something new. I’d...

Our mission statement for 2019
No way? No way! It’s surely not 2019 already? Man, the year is going to take some time to sink in – aren’t we supposed to be driving hover cars and living in neon cities by now? Anyway, one thing that’s not up for debate is that the past year was Push Square’s best ever, and as the site approaches its tenth...

We, along with the rest of the Push Square community, were screaming like little girls when Final Fantasy VII Remake was announced for the PlayStation 4 during Sony's jaw-dropping E3 2015 press conference.
