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.
ShiftUp Reveals 'Secrets' of Stellar Blade's Physical PS5 Packaging | Push Square
23.04.2024 - 06:08 / pushsquare.com
It seems we aren't the only ones counting down the hours until the release of the PS5-exclusive Stellar Blade. Developer ShiftUp has posted an impossibly drawn-out clip of the «secrets» contained within the game's PS5 physical box, which, as far as we can tell, amounts to a reversible cover/dust jacket and a download code for some cosmetic goodies.
Don't get us wrong; the variant cover, in particular, is certainly appreciated and perhaps even preferable to the game's standard art, just not something we'd generally consider a «secret». Regardless, the cool part is that ShiftUp confirmed via the comments section that this will be the case in all regions, just as the eye-catching action RPG will remain uncensored in all regions.
It's always nice to see a developer include a little something extra for physical collectors, and the developer seems intent on making a positive first impression in the console space. Stellar Blade launches this Friday, 26th April, on PS5.
All of them
Does the prospect of a reversible cover push you over the edge into purchasing physically? Let us know in the comments section below.

Kinda wish the reversible had the ps5 strip. As it is, works better for a steel book case
I stopped buying physical, as much as I hate to admit it, but I do love when they make the physical copies with reverse art like this.
Haven’t bought physical in over 10 years, but when i see good art work on the cases i really miss that feature of physical. It’s really nice and they did a great job with this one.
Have the game already downloaded and ready. Do we know when reviews go up?

Arrowhead to Patch Eruptor as Helldivers 2 Community Reveals Ricochet Issue | Push Square
The Helldivers 2 community isn't entirely impressed with developer Arrowhead's latest patch, 01.000.300, which, according to some, significantly nerfed players' fun.

But you might not have expected Eve to have been inspired by the lead of a 21-year-old GameCube cult classic.
