Should launch for everyone soon.
PS5's Welcome screen is what greets you each time you log into your console, and it's remained mostly unchanged since its introduction — but it seems Sony is readying a brand new widget.
Some users, presumably those signed up to PlayStation's beta program, have received an update to the Welcome hub, adding a new widget to the page.

Pancake mode unlocked.
Alien: Rogue Incursion is a solid PSVR2 action horror title, telling an original story in the beloved sci-fi universe. In an effort to put the game in front of more people, developer Survios has announced Alien: Rogue Incursion Evolved Edition, which is a regular, non-VR PS5 version of the game.
Details are thin on the ground at the moment, but what we currently know about Evolved Edition is that it's a reimagined rendition of the game that you can play on your TV, no VR gear required.

Yuri already dead.
Yuri manga Young Ladies Don’t Play Fighting Games – which has been running since 2020 and has accumulated eight volumes to date – is getting an anime adaptation from Diomedéa later this year, and Capcom has signed on to make Street Fighter 6 the star of the series.
A live action web drama was previously released for this comic, where Street Fighter 5 replaced the fictional fighting game in the manga, but it makes sense to refresh the story with the franchise’s most recent game.

Risky revolution.
Already controversially available on GBA – where manufacturers Limited Run Games and Retro-Bit Gaming have been criticised for using recycled cartridge components – Shantae Advance: Risky Revolution will belly dance to PS5 and PS4 later this summer.
For those of you who don’t know, this game was originally in development all the way back in 2002, when a GBA demo was made and pitched to publishers. But after poor sales of the GBC version caused companies to pass on the project, WayForward eventually shelved the project, until it was resurrected in 2023.

Enter the Gecko.
This author will forever associate GEX with the ill-fated 3DO, as the Crystal Dynamics character was positioned as a mascot for the console, before properly finding a home on the PS1.
Many of Naughty Dog’s most instrumental staff, like Evan Wells and Bruce Straley, worked on the series in their earlier days.

Majority satisfied with linear story.
There was an outpouring of support for developer Hangar 13 this week when it announced that Mafia: The Old Country would ditch its open world, and focus on a “linear, narrative-driven” gameplay experience instead.
Historically, publishers like Take-Two would have probably tried to hide this detail, but as games have gotten bigger and more time consuming, there’s an increasing demand for simpler, shorter experiences.

Tomorrow never comes.

Stop us if you've heard this one before.
DOOM: The Dark Ages, the upcoming medieval shooter from maker id Software, may be the latest Bethesda outing to enforce a download on its boxed copies.

Child's play.
RoadCraft is the next game from the makers of SnowRunner, and its latest trailer may well hit you in the feels — good going for a game about laying down tarmac.

Well on top.
While those of you who live in Europe and Asia will know Xbox has been little more than a footnote for quite some time, USA has remained somewhat of a battleground for Sony.
We know from Circana data that PS5 tends to sell the most units on a monthly basis, but it’s still been somewhat competitive, with Xbox Series X|S and Nintendo Switch battling it out for second spot most months.

High flyer.
We know we keep saying this, but Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter really does look fantastic.
A full-blown remake of Falcom's classic 2004 RPG — which made its way from PC to PSP in 2006 — the developer's rebuilt the title in its entirety, placing it alongside the much more recent Trails games as a fully 3D adventure.

Porter Lou.
Death Stranding 2: On the Beach’s story could be almost double the length of its predecessor, with a plot that could take you up to 75 hours to finish.
At least, that’s if estimations from Eurogamer.net’s preview are accurate. The site writes that during a recent hands-on session at Kojima Productions’ futuristic Tokyo office, it was given the opportunity to play the game for a full 30 hours, which represented approximately 40% of the plot.

Blasting from the past.
Where Microsoft has stumbled, Sony's got a lot of things right over the last couple of console generations — but one area where PlayStation fans would love to see an improvement is backwards compatibility.
Funnily enough, backwards compatibility and general game preservation are something that Xbox has been excelling at for years. In particular, the ability to play hundreds of original Xbox and Xbox 360 titles on Microsoft's modern hardware has been a real boon for the Team in Green.

Nerf incoming.
Sandfall Interactive, the developer behind the hit RPG Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, is planning to nerf the game's most broken attack.
While the studio actively wants its players "to be able to break the game", it says on social media that one of Maelle's late-game skills, Stendhal, is simply too powerful in its current form.

It takes two.
So, GTA 6. Delayed into May 2026, and then breaking the internet with its second trailer. Rockstar never disappoints!
At the time of writing, said trailer has racked up an absurd number of views, and generated more "here's everything you missed" articles than you could ever possibly care to read. To be fair though, it is a pretty cool trailer, and gives us a more complete picture of GTA 6's direction and tone than ever before.

Whatever it takes.
A brand new gameplay trailer for Mafia: The Old Country has just been released, and it's looking very promising indeed.
