PlayStation 5 update 24.03-09.20.00 is available to download right now. Like all modern gaming systems, Sony's PlayStation 5 is updated on a regular basis.

April 11 is Going To Be a Big Day for Helldivers 2

Loyal Super Earth patriots should mark their calendars for April 11, as a new Premium Warbond is set to be deployed in Helldivers 2 on that date. Arrowhead Game Studios and Sony Interactive Entertainment’s sci-fi co-op shooter has been a breakout hit since dropping into battle in February, with a growing legion of Helldivers 2 players enlisting to challenge Cyborgs and insectoid Terminids across the universe in the name of the Super Earth democracy. Helldivers 2 quickly became one of the most-played titles on Steam less than a day after its launch, and its developers are continuing to support the game with several updates.
Part of these updates include new additions to Helldivers 2’s permanent Battle Pass, which allows players to purchase new weapons and gear by trading in Medals and other currency gained during regular gameplay. This stands apart from other live-service games like Halo Infinite, which have their players advance their Battle Pass through an XP progression system. Helldivers 2’s Warbond system has been seen as both a blessing and a curse among fans, as while it eliminates the need for time-specific seasonal events, it also requires a hefty grind and could discourage solo play.
Helldivers 2 fans can look forward to a new Premium Warbond on April 11. This battle pass extension is code-named “Democratic Detonation” and will grant players access to a host of new Helldivers 2 weapons, armor, and cosmetic items. The new primary weapons include the BR-14 Adjudicator Rifle, which fires armor-piercing rounds and works best against small groups of enemies. There’s also the R-36 Eruptor Rifle, a bolt-action gun that fires jet-assisted shells that explode shrapnel in all directions – including the player’s if they aren’t careful. Lastly, the CB-9 Exploding Crossbow will unleash powerful exploding bolts that dish out maximum damage upon impact.
Helldivers 2’s next Warbond will also introduce a host of secondary weapons including the G-123 Thermite Grenades, which can stick to surfaces before heating things to 2,000°C. The GP-31 Grenade Pistol does exactly what its name implies by firing grenades at unlucky enemies. For those who need to flee the battlefield in a hurry, the soon-to-be-added Expert Extraction Pilot Booster lowers the amount of time it takes for an extraction shuttle to reach the extraction beacon.
The soldiers of Super Earth will also look fiercer than ever when this new Warbond launches thanks to its new Helldivers 2 armor and cosmetics. The new armor suits consist of the CE-27 Ground Breaker (Medium), CE-07 Demolition Specialist (Light), and FS-55 Devastator (Heavy). Players will also be able to accessorize with three new capes: Harbinger of True Equality, Eagle’s Fury, and

Rumor Claims Target is Going to Stop Selling Physical Media
Target may be doing away with physical media for movies and video games next year, at least according to a new rumor. The discussion of whether or not physical releases still have a place in the gaming industry has only intensified in recent years, with most titles being made available to purchase digitally without having to ever step foot inside a brick-and-mortar retailer like Target. The advent of subscription gaming services like Xbox Game Pass has added a new wrinkle to the conversation, as gamers can now access an entire digital library of games for a fraction of the price of a single physical copy.

Helldivers 2 Player Has Unique Ideas For More Planetary Hazards
One Helldivers 2 player shared their neat ideas for new planetary hazards that could be added to the top-down shooter in the future. In a recent update, Helldivers 2 has introduced two new planetary hazards, blizzards and sandstorms, that have their own effects. Blizzards reduce the player's mobility and make it almost impossible to see enemy units. Sandstorms, on the other hand, are paired with intense heat that increases stamina drain.
