Over 500 Massive PS5, PS4 Games Discounted As Days of Play Gets Underway | Push Square

Sony has revealed its latest selection of titles coming to PlayStation Extra and Premium subscribers on June 18th. However, the latter can access a new limited-time trial for Shift Up’s hack-and-slash action-adventure Stellar Blade.

Communicating while in a Helldivers 2 party with friends will soon be easier than ever, as PlayStation announced Thursday that it’ll be rolling out built-in Discord voice chat to PlayStation 5 consoles.

Sony has started to deploy PS5 system update 24.04-09.40.00, allowing players to start or join Discord voice chat directly from their PS5 console.

Yesterday, during the Xbox showcase, we got our first proper look at Dragon Age: The Veilguard — a game that's reportedly survived a nightmarish development cycle over the last decade or so. While it was only a CG trailer, it prompted immediate reactions from both fans and curious onlookers because of its tone and art direction (and its horrifically bad, blown-out cover of David Bowie's Heroes, but that's a minor complaint in the grand scheme of things).

The PS5 is a fantastic console, but increasingly we’ve been feeling that its operating system doesn’t feel designed with modern games in mind. This is particularly ironic when you consider Sony’s live service push: Helldivers 2 has already struck big, but it’s desperate to add Concord or Fairgame$ to the mix.

With the upcoming Summer Game Fest right around the corner, Sony is celebrating with another 1,500 or so PS5 and PS4 discounts. As is typically the case, there are some huge savings here – up to 85 per cent in some cases, like with the Deluxe Edition of EA Sports PGA Tour, which is just £12.74/$12.74 until all the deals expire on 20th June, 2024.

Sony is plunging the depths of emerging markets to bolster its content offering on PS5 and PS4, and that’s resulting in plenty of diverse content like Infinity Nikki, the open world anime dress-up game which has exploded in popularity on PlayStation’s YouTube channel. It’s one of a number of Chinese titles on the way, with Ballad of Antara, Marvel Rivals, and Where Winds Meet also featured in the format holder’s recent State of Play – and Zenless Zone Zero due out in a matter of weeks.

Update: Pre-orders for Concord are now live worldwide, confirming the game will cost £34.99 in the UK and $39.99 in the USA. Do you think this is a fair price? Share your thoughts in the comments below.

There’s a growing sentiment among the gaming enthusiast circles, not necessarily always backed up by fact, that console gaming is collapsing. While it’s true the market is facing issues of spiralling costs and slowing growth, it’s a concern not always rooted in reality. Case in point: Sony’s just announced PS5 is its most profitable generation to date.

Konami and Bloober Team’s long-awaited Silent Hill 2 remake will finally emerge from the fog on 8th October, and here’s a brand-new trailer as well as an extended look at gameplay. Pre-orders are open now, with two exclusive James Sunderland masks available for those who register their interest: Mira the Dog and Robbie the Rabbit. The game will retail for $69.99.

Player First Games seems to have successfully brought MultiVersus back, if its launch day player stats are anything to go by. After nearly a year of additional development to get the game in shape, it's now available once again, and it seems to have attracted most of its audience back for more.

Stellar Blade is the big winner of the latest US sales report from analytical company Circana (as outlined by the ever-informative Mat Piscatella). The current PS5 exclusive topped the charts for April, having released on the 26th of the month. Admittedly, it was a pretty quiet period for new releases, but it's still an impressive console debut from South Korean developer Shift Up.
