MOBA Sequel Smite 2 Holding Closed Alpha Weekend on PS5 | Push Square

While the closed alpha test for Marvel Rivals is still a day away, the game has already been datamined with a host of new details about the title being revealed. As part of the datamine, some of the game’s playable characters, as well as NPCs have been revealed.

A new gameplay trailer for Tails of Iron 2: Whiskers of Winter has dropped, and those who are already familiar with the first game will be happy to know that it looks great. This is one of those sequels that's more about evolution than revolution — but we're not complaining when Tails of Iron got so much right to begin with.

The highly rated co-op adventure that is Sea of Thieves has arrived on PS5, marking developer Rare's first ever release on PlayStation platforms, if you can believe it. The game first launched for Xbox One and PC back in 2018, and it's been heavily updated over the years, to the point where it's managed to maintain a very healthy community.

Sea of Thieves has finally dropped its anchor in PS5 waters, bringing with it years of content updates, quality of life improvements, and some of the best-looking water in a video game. But is this now former Xbox exclusive still worth playing six years after its initial launch? And how friendly is it to newcomers like us? After taking to the high seas with a rag-tag crew on PS5, Sea of Thieves proves itself to be one of the most approachable live service games on the market, and one we can’t wait to see grow on PlayStation.

Nearing a decade after its original release, Bethesda has ported Fallout 4 to PS5, promising the kind of improved technical performance that you'd expect from a generation-jumping upgrade. But does the once highly-rated, open world RPG still hold up in 2024?

Upon its announcement last month, NetEase Games confirmed that Marvel Rivals would be getting a closed alpha sometime in May, and now the company has revealed further details. The 6v6 hero shooter’s closed alpha will go live on May 10 at 5 PM Pacific, and will remain live until May 20 at 11:59 PM Pacific. The test will be available to 30,000 players, but only in the United States and Canada.

The first SMITE 2 alpha weekend will be taking place from May 2nd to May 5th, Titan Forge Games has confirmed. These alpha weekends will be taking place every weekend afterwards too, until SMITE 2 reaches 24/7 closed beta later this year. Players can register their interest in taking part through the official website, with a selected number being chosen. However, those who buy the Founder’s Edition, Deluxe Founder’s Edition, or Ultimate Founder’s Edition will have guaranteed access.

There's a big, new, shiny PS5 exclusive on the scene, and we expect it'll be a popular pick this weekend. Yes, Stellar Blade is here, and it's well worth checking out if you're in the mood for some good old-fashioned monster-murking action. There's lots of other stuff to play, though, as our team shows with an eclectic mix of PS5 and PS4 titles.

Fallout 4 has just received its long-awaited PS5 upgrade amidst the fervour conjured up by the Amazon Prime TV show. We’ve endured a little radiation to check out whether this native PS5 port has been worth the wait, and the results are mixed depending on who you ask.

The PS5 exclusive action game Stellar Blade launches tomorrow, 26th April, and as with most game launches these days, a day one update will arrive alongside it. While the patch will no doubt fix some bugs and get the title in better shape for release day, this one also throws in a big new feature: New Game+ mode.

Debuts don’t get much stronger than Stellar Blade. Korean developer Shift Up – already financially flush from the success of its saucy smartphone gacha NIKKE: Goddess of Victory – has chosen the path of most resistance, turning its hand to AAA territory with this rambunctious action-adventure outing. Despite the inherent risks involved, it’s stuck the landing like an acrobatic anime heroine, backflipping her way between deadly laser beams. That is to say, this is a PS5 console exclusive well worth playing.

As we continue to see walls being torn down between platforms, more people are getting exposed to former exclusives than ever before. On the PlayStation side, we're getting our first look at Grounded, formerly only available to Xbox and PC players for the last four years. If you're not in the Xbox ecosystem, you might not know much about the game, so allow us to get you up to speed: Grounded is a highly involved cooperative survival game that will encapsulate you and your friends as you endure the horrors of being the size of a bug.
