Best PS5 SSD for 2024: Add more storage to your PlayStation 5

For those who have just started their epic journey in Ghost of Tsushima, you may have heard that there is a special Digital Deluxe horse — and to help you choose the best, we’ll go over each of the horses.

Those itching for a dose of whimsical, old-school Atelier-esque RPG action may want to add WitchSpring R to their wishlist, a colourful, cosy outing from developer KIWI WALKS due out on 29th August. This game promises an eclectic mix of “training, collecting, and exploring” as you battle beasts in the overworld by day and enhance your witch’s capabilities back home at night. You’ll also be collecting ingredients, which you can combine and fuse to further upgrade your sorceress.

The board game adaptation of goliath manga and anime series Demon Slayer is coming to PS5 and PS4, after debuting meekly on Nintendo Switch last month. The title couldn’t top 20,000 sales in Japan during Golden Week, and so Sony subsidiary Aniplex will be hoping the CyberConnect2 title sells a little better on PlayStation platforms.

Here’s some potentially huge news, unearthed by the eagle-eyed Gematsu: a new PS2 emulator appears to be imminent for PS5 and PS4. As many of you will already know, Sony has been gradually deploying PS1 and PSP titles on the PS Store as part of its PS Plus Premium subscription, with all releases boasting video filters, quick save, and rewind.

Concord, the PS5 and PC shooter from new Sony team Firewalk Studios, will deploy in 2024 – at least, that’s the plan according to a business briefing from the Japanese giant. While the firm notes that release schedules are always subject to change, it included the title’s tentative launch window in a live service slide alongside Destiny 2: The Final Shape, which is due out on 6th June.

We all know retail PS5 software sales are pretty poor in Japan right now, so it’s a testament to Shift Up’s character action outing that Stellar Blade’s actually doing decently. The Korean outing tagged another 13,033 units to its total for the week ending 12th May, lifting its lifetime sales up to 80,164 units overall. With digital numbers excluded, that’s not a bad number at all.

In April, the Nintendo Switch moved 251,000 units across standard, Lite, and OLED models in Japan.

The PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC (Steam) versions of Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba – Sweep the Board! will launch on July 16 in North America and Europe, publisher SEGA announced. The PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series versions will be available both physically and digitally.

Ubisoft has unveiled a new cinematic trailer for Assassin’s Creed Shadows, and as unfortunately leaked in the description recently, it’s out on November 15th. Pre-orders are live, and it’s coming to Xbox Series X/S, PS5 and PC. Check out the trailer below.

Assassin’s Creed Shadows will launch for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, and PC on November 15 for $69.99, publisher Ubisoft and developer Ubisoft Quebec announced. Pre-orders are available now and include the bonus quest “Thrown to the Dogs.”

Helldivers 2 far “exceeded the expectations” at Sony, selling 12 million units in first 12 weeks since release, the PlayStation parent said in its earnings call Tuesday. The live service shooter is now PlayStation's fastest-selling title of all time, surpassing the record set by God of War Ragnarok in the same period after its November 2022 launch. Sony also revealed that cumulative unit sales of PS5 reached 59.2 million after the company sold 20.8 million PS5 units in fiscal year 2023.

Publisher Koei Tecmo and developer Omega Force have released Samurai Warriors 4 DX for PC via Steam for $49.99 worldwide, the company announced.
