The PlayStation 5 Pro is not selling as well as the base model did four years ago, but this doesn't mean that the console will fail on the market. Speaking during the latest episode of their weekly podcast, the tech experts at Digital Foundry commented on the mid-generation system's pre-orders, highlighting how a system not selling out at launch before the pandemic, which was the norm, did not mean that sales were disastrous. For a certainty, demand will be softer compared to the demand for the PlayStation 4 Pro and the Xbox One X, mostly due to the fact that […]

Horizon Zero Dawn Complete Edition was already ported to PC before they announced the remaster. Now, Sony has created the Horizon Zero Dawn Remaster that requires players to create a PSN account to be able to play the game. This has been a hugely controversial move by Sony, as it lands them in hot water with players every single time a PlayStation game gets ported to PC and requires a PSN account. Last Friday, the original Horizon Zero Dawn Complete Edition was delisted on Steam and the Epic Games Store to make way for Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered. It seems […]
The Last of Us Part II Remastered is an excellent showcase of what the PlayStation 5 Pro and the AI-powered PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution upscaler are capable of doing, according to a new early analysis. The new analysis from Digital Foundry, based on pre-release footage, confirms the remaster of the second entry in the series by Naughty Dog targets 4K resolution, 60 FPS on the upcoming console, using PSSR to upscale to 4K resolution from 1440p. This delivers a considerable visual leap over the base model's Performance mode, as the upscaler improves texture detail and reduces blurriness and aliasing, especially […]

The latest PlayStation 5 firmware introduced some changes that will heavily impact jailbreaking, making it difficult for users to continue accessing their digital libraries after taking their system offline. As explained earlier today by well-known Souls series hacker Lance McDonald on X, the latest firmware update changed the "Restore Licenses" screen so that it is now only possible to download licenses for games that are already installed on the system. Previously, licenses for every owned game would be restored, even for games not installed on the console. This means that once a PlayStation 5 console has taken offline, users won't […]

A new God of War Ragnarok patch is now live for the PC version of the game, improving AMD FSR 3 frame generation and fixing a variety of issues.

The new God of War Ragnarok patch also fixes an NVIDIA memory leak issue caused by switching between different Frame Generation settings. The patch, as mentioned […]
Just over a year ago, PlayStation owners saw the release of Final Fantasy XVI, a game that was originally meant to be released on PC alongside PlayStation 5. However, that didn't happen, and the game was only just released for PC last month. Although the game has received great ratings from the player base, the game still didn't perform how Square Enix was hoping, with multiple new titles being released this year, and profits did not meet their expectations. However, in an interview, Yoshi-P said that Xbox players should not give up hope of Final Fantasy XVI. After the release […]
