PlayStation Fan Shows Off Pasta Shaped Like The Sacred Symbols

Stellar Blade was the best-selling physical game in the UK last week, with its launch sales on PS5 being enough to see it top sales charts in the region. Sony and Shift Up haven't shared any official sales data just yet, but this marks a good start for the title, which holds the potential to sell well long-term. TopSpin 2K25 was another new entry in the UK sales chart last week, debuting in third place.

This author thought Helldivers 2 was going to be a colossal flop, so it just goes to show how unpredictable this industry can be. According to Circana analyst Mat Piscatella, it currently sits behind a trio of Spider-Man titles, a couple of God of War games, and Ghost of Tsushima as Sony’s seventh highest grossing game in the United States to date. It’s been out less than three months, and isn’t even being sold at full-price.

If you’re not familiar with the Playdate, it’s the dinky yellow handheld with a crank that’s actively coveting a hobbyist, indie game development crowd. It’s home to a number of unique experiences already, but for PlayStation fans, this may be the most intriguing outing yet: Psygnosis’ legendary PS1 racer WipEout, rendered in beautiful black-and-white polygons.

Helldivers 2 has continued a surprisingly frequent trend over the past couple of years of titles, such as Baldur's Gate 3 and Palworld, that have blown up in popularity more than anyone could have possibly predicted, even the developers themselves. We're yet to get official numbers for just how impressive Helldivers 2's launch has been, but it has been revealed that it's already managed to become one of PlayStation's highest grossing titles in the US.

Fortnite, Grand Theft Auto 5 and a trio of Call of Duty titles were consistently the most played games across consoles in the US last month.

While Dragon’s Dogma 2 topped US software charts for March 2024 per Circana’s Matt Piscatella, Helldivers 2 wasn’t far behind. It ranked in second place and is still the best-selling premium title of the year to date. Furthermore, it’s the seventh best-selling title (in terms of lifetime dollar sales) published by Sony, despite only being on sale for two months.

An Elden Ring fan has showcased to the community of players an admirable Melina cosplay. The cosplay was well-received by the Elden Ring community, who filled the post to praise this fan's work.

A talented Legend of Zeldafan recently demonstrated their cosplay skills with an impressive rendition of Princess Zelda from Twilight Princess. The characters of the Legend of Zelda series have taken on many different incarnations over the years, and this has naturally inspired players to dress up as them for fan conventions or simply just for fun. One particular popular cosplay source among Zelda fans is Twilight Princess, the 2006 mainline entry that was released on both the Nintendo GameCube and the then-new Nintendo Wii during the transition period between the two systems.

Stellar Blade has launched to huge acclaim this weekend, but not every fan is delighted with Shift Up’s PS5 debut. Eagle-eyed players spotted some changes to a couple of costumes in the final product, prompting accusations of censorship from publisher Sony. Of course, it wouldn’t be the first time the Japanese giant has requested changes in PlayStation games, as more titillating cutscenes in titles like Devil May Cry 5 were inexplicably edited on PS4 in the past. This decision was later reversed.

A fan of Animal Crossing: New Horizons has unveiled eight new characters they've brainstormed that would bring a wide variety of new services to Nintendo's cozy life sim. WhileAnimal Crossing: New Horizons already boasts 36 special NPCs that offer special services, the inclusion of these characters (or something else like them) would provide an even bigger boost to what players can do on their islands.

The massive popularity of Elden Ring continues to produce a number of interesting fan creations, including a detailed birthday card with «real world» character stats.
