Sony may not be at E3 2019, but its wildly popular Days of Play initiative is returning this summer.

Hands On Everybody's Golf VR May Be the Hardest Hot Shots Yet
Fore the pros
Hot Shots Golf has always traded on its instant accessibility, but new entry Everybody’s Golf VR looks set to have a significant learning curve. Make no mistake: this has not suddenly become a simulator – it’s still a colourful, arcade romp. But by favouring motion controls over the click-click-click format of old, it can be...
News Days Gone's Debut Outpaces God of War in Japan
More or less matches Horizon: Zero Dawn
It’s no secret that Days Gone is selling absurdly well, but few could have expected the title to do quite this well in Japan.

Differences between EU and US line-up
PlayStation Now is back with another batch of games for the month of May, bringing with it the likes of Batman: Arkham Knight and Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance.

News May 2019's PS Plus Games Are Available to Download Now on PS4
Time to get cooking
The time has finally come for this month's PS Plus games to go live. May's duo of PlayStation 4 titles include What Remains of Edith Finch, a sombre but brilliant narrative adventure, and Overcooked, a madcap co-op game about working together in the kitchen. We'd say both are worth your time if you've yet to give them a try...

News PS4's Best Place to Play Commercial Points to New Titles
Days Gone, Crash Team Racing, more
Sony’s marketing slogan still believes the PlayStation 4 is the best place to play, and its latest commercial centres on a selection of new software – including Crash Team Racing: Nitro Fueled, Days Gone, and MLB The Show 19.

Soapbox Why Syphon Filter Must Make a Return
Sammy's pining for Gabe Logan
I really like Days Gone. I wouldn’t say I was particularly excited for the apocalyptic open worlder, but somehow it’s become one of my favourites of the year.

Feature Sony Won't Be at E3 2019, But Here Are 7 Reasons to Still Be Hyped
All aboard
With Push Square being a PlayStation website, we were feeling deflated when Sony confirmed that it wouldn't be at E3 this summer.

Until now, that is. With E3...

Rumour May 2019's PS Plus Games Possibly Leaked by PS4 Menu Screenshot
Seems legit
We're due an official announcement on May's PlayStation Plus lineup later today, but a screen grab from a Russian PS4 user appears to have outed them early -- if it's real, of course. An image shared on ResetEra, which you can see below, indicates that we could be getting a duo of excellent, if small, titles: Overcooked and

News Days Gone Patch 1.05 Improves Performance and Squashes Bugs
A horde of fixes
Days Gone finally arrived last week, and while we rather like Bend Studio's action survival game, it's fair to say the PlayStation 4 exclusive has its share of technical issues. Open world titles tend to fall down in this area, and this is the studio's first crack at a home console release for some time. Still, it'd be nice to have...

Winter wonders
There’s plenty to be excited about in Days Gone, but its snow simulation may just be the most realistic ever.
