Amidst widespread backlash, Sony has walked back on its decision to make PlayStation Network logins mandatory for Helldivers 2 on PC.

Sony will add a new feature to PS5 later this year, allowing users to invite others to a multiplayer game by generating a shareable link on the console or via the PlayStation App. This link can then be shared on social media or via direct message, allowing AFK, offline, or even players you aren't friends with (yet) to secure a spot.

@RogerRoger No problem. I played Avengers when it was on PS Now and then later picked up the PS5 version 2nd hand to finish off the story. It was ok. I liked the story arc of the main antagonist and protagonist, but the missions get quite repetitive late on in the game. Out of all the extra characters I only played with Kate Bishop, I think her name was. Who was surprisingly fun to play as, but I was burnt out by the game by then so didn't finish her story.

On paper, the PlayStation 5 Pro's 45% faster GPU should be enough to fix issues in GPU-limited scenarios, such as in games aggressively using dynamic resolution scaling.

When Sony recently announced plans to bring PSVR2 to PC. It got me excited for PC VR because of it's excellent capabilities and since the Reverb G2 in 2020 there hasn't been a similarly equipped tethered headset at that price point of under $600.

Despite the lack of an official reveal, more information has emerged about the upcoming PlayStation 5 Pro model, and just how much value it's going to bring to the table is becoming increasingly clear. The idea of a mid-generation Pro upgrade was set into place during the last console generation, with the PS4 Pro and Xbox One X offering significant boosts to consoles that were struggling to meet high resolution and performance targets on some games. It's not surprising that both Sony and Microsoft appear ready to continue the tradition, but that doesn't necessarily mean it's worthwhile.
