With some differences, Battlefield 6 promises to deliver a great experience on all consoles, judging from a recent early comparison based on the game’s open beta. The comparison, put together by ElAnalistaDeBits, details the two display modes available on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X, Balanced and Performance, which target 60 FPS and up to 120 FPS, respectively, and highlights …

As consumers have begun to shift away from physical media, the way gamers play games has shifted significantly in a rather short amount of time. The perfect example of this shift is Xbox, which has begun to bring some of its marquee first-party franchises, like Gears of War and Forza Horizon, to PS5 to continue to grow its audience. Game …

Last night, Sony’s vice president confirmed something we’ve all kind of assumed for a while now: PlayStation is no longer interested in being a first-party publisher. Yesterday, Sony held their Q1 2026 earnings call, which sounds like something that should have been very dry and boring, but is actually something that ended up being extremely interesting (and somewhat divisive). During …

In what comes as no surprise, a viral tweet misrepresented a Sony statement to suggest that PlayStation is going multiplatform. The confusion stems from an earnings call held yesterday, where the company talked about “moving away from a hardware-centric business.” Without the full quote, this was widely interpreted as Sony admitting that PlayStation is following Microsoft’s footsteps.

Earlier today, Sony announced the quarterly financial results for Q1 2025, where we learned that the PlayStation 5 console had shipped 80.3 million units as of the end of June.

The gaming industry is looking more and more alien as time goes by.

Many called it the end of Xbox, myself included, wondering just how long the Xbox hardware ecosystem would last without the promise of home-grown exclusive games. Fast forward …

Sony’s chief financial officer has suggested that live-service gaming hasn’t been a complete unmitigated success for PlayStation. With quite some impressive understatement, following a year that saw the overwhelming failure of Concord and serious delays to Bungie’s Marathon, CFO Lin Tao told shareholders on a Q&A call following the release of Sony’s latest financial results that “it’s not entirely going smoothly.” She …

There’s no question that continuing the success of the PlayStation 5 is one of Sony’s top priorities, especially given that its latest console is getting closer to five years old. The Japanese tech giant has yet to formally announce the PlayStation 6, but over the past few months there have been some developments that have allowed us some rare insight …

Helldivers 2 made waves when it launched on PlayStation and PC back in 2024, peaking at over 450,000 players on Steam alone and maintaining a healthy player base across both platforms ever since. During the early surge of hype, there were widespread calls on Twitter (now X) – urging support from Xbox players to help fight off the Terminids and …

PlayStation management has been credited as the ones pushing to get Helldivers 2 on Xbox Series X|S, rather than the lead developers within Arrowhead Studios. In response to fans on Discord (via Windows Central), the developer’s CEO Shams Jorjani said any praise for making the Helldivers 2 port onto Xbox Series X|S a reality should go to PlayStation. “It was …
